    Here are Esquire's August 1949 illustrations. I hope to eventually close out 1949, but will be pausing for a hopefully short period before concluding.

    These are Esquire's July 1949 illustrations. Pirate bold!? Well, shiver me timbers! ;) A number of useful suggestions below. I prefer to wear my linen and cotton PS squares with 3 points up. Recently, I noticed a trend of gentlemen in political circles doing likewise...

    Esquire’s Complete Golden Age Illustrations:

    Agreed! Some good looking straws! I'm not particularly knowledgeable concerning dress wear, but I've noted that while a comparatively narrow number of items are prescribed by a form, the subtle detail of each can actually be quite varied. Pleated shirts seemed a fairly common variant, and...

    Esquire’s Complete Golden Age Illustrations:

    Yes, that first paragraph appears deliberately offensive, though I'll flatter its writer that it was intended with a good-humored wink! ;) But the balance is largely spot on, as very few women can successfully dress men, and the opposite is equally true, irrespective of how brilliantly they are...
