Discover a unique piece of fashion history with this original 1915-1916 Men's Fall & Winter Fashion Catalog from the Chicago Progress Tailoring Company. Featuring 24 full-size folio plates measuring 10" by 13", this catalog showcases exquisite Art Nouveau styles that defined men's fashion during this era. Although the first three plates were repurposed and are no longer intact, plates four and five remain salvaged, while the remaining 19 plates are in good, usable condition with slight surface wear. The vintage green gilt and embossed boards with half-leather binding add to the catalog's charm and rarity.
Each plate beautifully displays gentlemen in period clothing, offering a glimpse into the tailoring trends of the early 20th century. Only the final plate features advertisements, emphasizing the focus on fashion illustrations. This collector's item not only serves as a stunning decorative piece but also as an educational resource for vintage fashion enthusiasts and researchers. Its rarity and condition justify the price, making it a must-have for avid collectors and those interested in the evolution of menswear. See photos for a thorough assessment of the plate conditions.
