Spring 1928 Hickey Freeman Catalog: My First Post

[Twill]

Good afternoon gents (and any ladies reading this as well),

I've been lurking for a while, so I thought I'd link an offering to you as my first post.

The above stated catalog was posted on a blog I frequent:

I hope you enjoy, and thanks for all the great information on this amazing site. Hope to see everyone around the board. It will be a pleasure to meet everyone.

I don't think that back in the day it was the faux pas it seems to be today.

I don't think that back in the day it was the faux pas it seems to be today.

The proof is in the pudding as they say. I've just posted a series of scans from the J.L. Taylor men's fashion catalog from 1927. Pay attention to the lower button on the jackets...
