Review: excellent read - I opened this book a few hours ago and haven't put it down since. It contains a rich history of men's fashion staples, from the deck shoe to the biker jacket. Every bit is informative-not just in a sartorial sense, but culturally how the clothing became what it is today. For example, the M-1951 jacket came in olive green and not the typical olive drab, since it was produced post-WW2 and the higher-ups believed that the surplus of olive-drab military color being worn by laborers was devalued. In the following decades, the jacket was worn by the Mod community who embraced the cheap, military surplus jacket to protect their sharp suits as they rode their scooters through the elements. Explaining the What and Why makes this book a successful compilation of men's fashion iconography. Review: Great book for both men and women - I fist noticed this book while shopping in the Men's Dept. at Nordstroms. I fell in love with the cover...that picture of Gregory Peck! So handsome! I did not need to look beyond the cover! The book is fascinating. I was intrigued not only because of the styles and clothing but the history behind the garments I bought it as a gift for my fiancΓ© and his adult son. They both love clothes and both wear them well. It is read for men and women...actually for anyone that loves clothes! and history ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #264,885 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #236 in Fashion History #527 in Fashion Design #17,504 in Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 79 Reviews | ## Images ![Icons of Men's Style - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A13lZys+DWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ excellent read *by E***T on June 22, 2011* I opened this book a few hours ago and haven't put it down since.
