Cardboard, Fine Spiral
1939 · New York
New York: Reliance Woolen Co., Inc., Glicksman Fashion Co., Inc., 1939. Cardboard, Fine Spiral. Very Good. Folio-sized trade catalogue. 39 by 29 cm. Unpaginated. 42 pp. Large color plates of mostly men's fashion, with some stylish women in their company, for the Town & Country set. In each of these there is a backdrop bespeaking the glamorous lifestyle: a-deck a yacht, at the horse races, at an idyllic college campus, at the country club, at a fabulous pool. The fashions are late thirties, with fabulous men's suits that are perhaps a little freer and more casual than a year or two earlier, as ladies' dress hems are moving up towards the knee. In the back there are suggestions for formal attire, a plage devoted to sport backs, and two pages devoted to ladies' trends.
