INTRODUCTION
"Vintage Menswear: A Collection from The Vintage Showroom" is a richly illustrated compendium showcasing 130 of the most influential examples of 20th-century and earlier menswear, with a focus on utilitarian tailoring and design from Europe, America, and Asia. The authors—Douglas Gunn, Josh Sims, and Roy Luckett—curate pieces drawn from The Vintage Showroom’s vast archive.
The book is divided into three themed sections: sportswear, militaria, and workwear. Readers will find rare and iconic items like 1940s flying jackets, polar exploration suits, and vintage French denims, each displayed with both front and back views to emphasize cut, detailing, and design innovation. Stunning full-page bleed images and meticulous photography make each garment a study in shape, texture, and craftsmanship.
More than a fashion history, "Vintage Menswear" serves as essential reference material and visual inspiration for menswear designers, stylists, students, and fashion historians. Its value lies in making rare archival tailoring accessible, giving insight into how vintage clothing informs contemporary design, and offering a resource to understand vintage menswear trends, garment construction, and legacy styles.
