Very cool! Like the art work very much. The styles of 1917 are much the same as the early 20's styles.

I would have to say that I don't care for the pants on those suits my self, like the fuller cut ones for the 30's better. I love the hats and some of the suit coats!

Thanks for shairing!

Agreed Root... The pants of that era are too short and too narrow for my taste If I had a god pair of spats it might be a different story.

Awsome find Lauren the catalog is rad.

thanks, guys!
I know the proportions look really strange, don't they? I agree, the later stuff is better, but the illustrations are just so great. I think a guy would look silly with pants that short. You'd better have some really cool socks showing when you sit down to pull it off, huh?

We need more patch pockets on suits!
