This book traces the evolution of the style of mens dress through a sequence of diagrams accurately scaled down from patterns of actual garments; many of them rare museum specimens. The plates have been selected with the same purpose. Some are photographs of suits for which diagrams have also been given; others; reproduced from paintings and old prints; show the costume complete with its accessories. Quotations from contemporary sources--from diaries; travelers accounts and tailors bills--supplement Norah Waughs text with comments on fashion and lively eyewitness descriptions.
