Suit Catalog 1917

Hey guys, I picked this up at an antique store a while back and thought I'd share some pics! If you want more, I can post more, but for now, here are some of my favorites:

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!

Root.

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?
