Description: Curated by connoisseurs of vintage clothing, 'The Vintage Showroom' is a vast collection of rare 20th-century menswear that fashion designers and stylists pay to view, using the cut and detailing of individual garments as inspiration for their own work. Featuring 130 of the most influential examples of 20th-century European, American and Asian utilitarian tailoring and design, the book is divided into three sections of sportswear, workwear, and militaria, covering everything from 1940s flying jackets and polar exploration suits to vintage French denims.
