Smart Clothes for Men, Fall & Winter 1906 & 1907

As you consider your holiday wardrobe this year, you might be interested in taking a trip down fashion's memory lane. This Smart Clothes for Men, winter clothing catalog published in 1906, featured the "Model Seven" a top coat that had a long cut "with deep side vents and a slightly form-fitting back. Unequalled for general out-door autumn wear." And the "Model 8" a "more formal, but not less useful autumn coat." These and other fashion trends from days gone by can be found in the Rare Books Special Collection and Preservation department.
