Looking over the posts above it became obvious that I had missed one half of a two page layout. So, I'm providing it here, along with an Interwoven ad, because one just can't have too many SNAZZY socks!

This might also be a good place to mention that at about this point in its publishing Esquire began making liberal use of fold out pages. (Including the original center fold, from Vargas!) These might be 3 or 4 fold with small portions of an entire scene printed on each panel, but that appeared as complete when closed. Unfortunately, the format in which I have these available results in individual pages, sometimes with bits and pieces of a single sartorial layout which looses all context in this form. These I deliberately did not collect and archive.
