In his New Supreme System and RED BOOK of Men's Tailoring, Mr. Frederick T. Croonborg has presented the subject in so comprehensive and forceful a way that his work is invaluable alike to progressive Designers, Cutters and Tailors, who desire to keep abreast of the latest developments are seeking the most practical method to attainin Sartorial Science and Art, and to students who tailoring success. In issuing this volume of a series of text-books, it is well to state what is the general purpose: it sets forth a properly graduated course of collective lessons, dealing scientifically with the various problems in garment building. Design itself is treated as Art. Mr. Croonborg defines design as being an inseparable element of good quality, involving the selection of suitable material, expert workmanship, contrivance for spe- cial purpose. His practical discernment of the need for such a work and perseverence in vesting it with form and substance are attributable to his having been long chief actor on the stage of Tailoring and De- signing. The author's accurate knowledge of the fundamental principles upon which tailoring is based, make the present volume a veritable cyclopedia of men's garment Designing, Cutting and Con- structions. The side-lights included in the instructions will be found most valuable to all who wish to go deeper than the first glance reveals, to analyze and review on technical principles. It is easy to see that the book is the outcome of long personal experience as a tutor, and stu- dents taught on the plan herein given will have acquired a lasting knowledge of principles. This cyclopaedia is as it ought to be—a CLEARING HOUSE for ideas. In an instant the student can place his finger on any problem that he may have pondered over for days, and find it worked out with consummate skill. Copious knowledge may be imbibed from the pages of this assemblage of ideas, faultless in mat- ter as in manner of conveyance to the minds of others. To some—those wearing "The Blue Ribbon" of the tailoring guild—the chief value of the work may lie in its admirable classification of ideas which are the warp and woof of good tailoring. A man, who, out of the fullness of his own experience, has written a treatise that will be useful to his fellow workers, is to be congratulated, and the author of this book certainly has earned his meed of congratulations. J. CuUen Bryant. AUTHOR'S INTRODUCTION In this New-Supreme-System and RED BOOK of Men's Tailoring, I have incorporated the fruits of a more matured experience than in my previous editions, together with all that I have found practical and logical of the old school. While I have not deviated from my original stand of a perfect foundation, accumulated from the true conception of the ideal form of a man, as a base for harmony in Garment Designing and Con- struction, I have developed this new Supreme System, (now taught in Croonborg's Sartorial Acad- emy) to a point of perfection, practicability and simplicity where it should be within easy mastery of diligent students. ^ This age of specialization calls for efficiency in every department of human endeavor. As origi- nator of System, Fashion Delineator, author and tutor of Garment Designing, I plant myself upon my past record, which without a doubt has proven that my system of designing, and method of garment construction, is most efficient, and productive.

It began as a royal land grant given to Sir Thomas West and his wife Lady Cessalye Shirley in 1613 and developed into the existing estate one can currently visit by 1725. The present day estate consists of the mansion itself and ten additional buildings set along a Queen Anne forecourt. These buildings include a Root Cellar, Pump House, two-story Plantation Kitchen, two story Laundry, Smokehouse, Storehouse with an Ice House below, a second Storehouse for grain, Brick Stable, Log Barn and Pigeon House or Dovecote. At one time the Great House was augmented by a North and a South Flanker: they were two free standing wings, 60 feet long and 24 feet wide and provided accommodations for visitors and guests. The North Flanker burned and its barrel-vaulted basement was converted into a root cellar and the South Flanker was torn down in 1868.

    PART I This page intentionally left blank CHAPTER i Clothing and Consumers in Rural J^ew Sngland, 1760—1810 WHITE APRONS. When Catherine Graves was asked to recall her eighteenth- century Northampton girlhood, what she remembered most vividly were white aprons. Interviewed by the local historian Sylvester Judd in the second quarter of the nineteenth century, Graves noted that, in the 17605 and 17705, only a handful of women had had white aprons to wear when they went out visiting; the rest wore the blue and white checked aprons ubiquitous in the Connecticut Valley. Sixty years removed, she was still able to list the families along South Street whose daughters wore white aprons.1 Recollections like Graves's remind us of the importance of clothing in eighteenth-century America. The white aprons worn by Anna, Rachel, and Lucinda Barnard and other young women on South Street lingered in Graves's memory because, at the time, they were important markers by which men and women—and children, too—measured their position and the posi- tion of others. In the last half of the eighteenth century, white and checked aprons, together with patterned and plain fabrics, fitted coats, imported tex- tiles, and other elements of early American wardrobes, helped people assert and assess their place in society.2 "Purse and Apparel": Clothing and Its Meanings in Early New England From the beginning of European settlement through the early national pe- riod, New England wardrobes, first, were assets. Josiah Pierce, a schoolteacher in Hadley, Massachusetts, for example, gave his hired woman, when she completed her term of service, £11 as well as "£12 O.T.

Designing Women: Fashion, Fiction, and Femininity in Second Empire France Abstract This dissertation explores the role of fashion and fashion journal discourse in some of the most widely read French novels of the nineteenth century: Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary (1857), Ã?mile Zola's La Curée (1871), and Edmond de Goncourt's Chérie (1884). As access to popular styles and fashion magazines became increasingly democratized over the course of the nineteenth century, Second Empire Paris, with its new public parks, cafés, and amusements, became the locus of an unprecedentedly visual culture. Though fashion has often been considered a feminine frivolity in scholarly circles, I argue for its importance in the Second Empire as economic engine, powerful political tool, and visual signifier of social status. The rising significance of fashion in nineteenth-century French cultural life is paralleled by an increased interest in la mode in male-authored realist and naturalist texts. In the decline and dissolution of their respective heroines, I explore how Flaubert, Zola, and Goncourt thematize and problematize the kind of gaze that fashion elicits.

  • Winter 1903-Oí)
    AívJD WINTER 1903-OÍ) FASHIONABLE AND GORREGT ATTIRE. EASON after season the masculine interest in fash­ S ionable and correct attire increases. This is not an evidence of vanity, but a proof of good taste and common sense. Time was, and not very long- atro, when freak garments sometimes received the sanction of Fashion and when correctness of costume was not clearly defined ; but now the fact that a garment is fashionable is proof that it is artistic and there is no uncertainty as to what custom requires in a sartorial way. The man who has good taste feels, therefore, a lively interest in the movements of fashion, for thevare in line with his art sense, and the man of common sense gives careful attention to the sartorial require­ ments of time and occasion, knowing that they are based on the eternal fitness of things. In this little booklet may be found illustrations of the leading costumes and overcoats of the season to­ gether with the comments on them that will enable any one who examines the first and reads the second not only to select the clothes he needs in the full assurance that they will be exactly right, but to determine what he should wear on any occasion. There is no uncer­ tainty about either, each is authoritative, and together they form a manual of dress that will amply meet the requirements even of the most fastidious, BUSINESS, RIDING, OUTING AND HUNTING COSTUMES. S much thought and study are now given to design­ ing and making business and negligee attire as A to that for either evening or day dress The result is sartorial effects which are works of art and models of appropriateness and utility.

While existing scholarship has focused on the role of fashion in emerging consumer culture, I focus instead on how clothing mediated bodily and urban knowledge. With the rise of department stores, the fashion press, and textile innovations in mid-nineteenth-century France, fashion became synonymous with the modern urban experience. Concomitantly with the emergence of the modern fashion system, the city of Paris was itself refashioned through vast urbanization projects. This metropolitan redesign created new points of intersection between the dressed body and the city.

  • Coats of the Fur Trade by Gene Hickman
    Thoughts on the Coats of the Fur Trade By Gene Hickman Coats Any of the following types of “coats” would be a great addition on those cool evenings or early mornings. You or your party will have annual trapping trips & primitive camping/hunting trips that definitely require some warmer garments. If it snows in June, this will also be a huge asset! But coats or capotes are not necessary. You can always wear a blanket as a matchcoat (period correct blanket of course) or buffalo robe when necessity dictates. When we use the term coat here we mean as Chronister and Landry (1995) relate that …a garment worn over the shirt (or shirts) as a primary outer garment They go on to relate that …The journals of John Bradbury (1811), Harrison Rodgers (1826), James Ohio Pattie (1827), William Drummond Stewart (in Edward Warren), and Philip Edwards (1834) all descrive the authors or trappers wearing leather or deerskin or “fringed” hunting shirts. Larpentuer described his own “cowskin coat” and “buckskin shirt” worn over two favric shirts in 1833 (Larpentuer, 1898). There are a variety of coats that are worn, & as stated in the general article on clothing what you wear is dependent on your ethnic & geographic background as well as your occupation or “station” in life. The variety of clothing is illustrated in the reference given by Josiah Gregg (1926) as he is starting out with a caravan from Independence, Missouri to Santa Fe in 1831, …The wild and motley aspect of the caravan can be but imperfectly conceived without an idea of the costumes of its various members.
