Haberdashery Finds: Chicago Tailoring Co
The Chicago Tailoring Company Fall/Winter 1909 catalog. Although I love the images, the illustrator isn't the most flattering in his depictions of the models. A little boxy, no? He's no J.C. Leyendecker!

Haberdashery Finds: The Progress Tailoring Co
The 1913 Progress Tailoring Company order form. I wonder how many guys back then received ill-fitting items because they couldn't possibly identify themselves as "large body corpulent" or "small body thick set". (Click images to enlarge.)

Haberdashery Finds: Dress And Fashion Chart For Autumn And Winter 1920-21
From the Detmer Woolens promotional note pad and as issued by "The Progressive Tailor". In case you need to know which trousers, vest, hat, gloves, etc. to coordinate for informal dress (field sports, automobiling, country wear) vs. semi-formal dress (church, promenade, afternoon call).

Haberdashery Finds: Chart Of Correct Dress For All Occasions
We loved this handy chart on the back page of a JW Losse Progressive Tailoring Company style book. A cap for motoring, grey suede gloves for informal evening occasions, patent leather shoes for formal evening occasions? But of course! Click image to enlarge.

Haberdashery Finds: Collar Box
It's no secret that I spend way too much time on ebay. This recent purchase is wooden box with fish on the cover (random) intended for removable collar storage. As pictured, the inner lid indicates that it is from S.W.H. Ward's Sons, Manufacturers Of Argosy Cloth Faced Collars & Cuffs, based in NYC. Two collars were included, one an Arrow and the other Van Heusen. Presumably these two collars were merely stored in the box and that the box was purchased with collars from S.W.H. Ward's. Not bad, eh?

Haberdashery Finds: Scriven Underwear
From the August 24, 1910, issue of Men's Wear magazine, a men's clothing trade publication. We were amused by the athletic poses in this ad.

Haberdashery Finds: Hart Schaffner & Marx Style Book
The 1921 Spring & Summer Style Book for Men, Young Men & Boys for Hart Schaffner & Marx. I'll take the grey double-breasted with boater and doctor's bag (among others)!
