This book traces the evolution of the style of men's dress through a sequence of diagrams accurately scaled down from patterns of actual garments, many of them rare museum specimens. The plates have been selected with the same purpose. Some are photographs of suits for which diagrams have also been given; others, reproduced from paintings and old prints, show the costume complete with its accessories. Quotations from contemporary sources--from diaries, travelers' accounts and tailors' bills--supplement Norah Waugh's text with comments on fashion and lively eyewitness descriptions.

If the speaker was also quotable before 1900, those remarks are included as well. Using the same format as The Ox. Dictionary of Quotations (Oxford Univ. Pr., 1979. 3d ed.), this book consists of some 5000 quotations from a wide range of sources: arrangement is alphabetical by the names of the authors, and each quotation includes a reference to a printed source.
