Apparel Arts is the de facto magazine of record for men's clothing in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. It has achieved somewhat of a cult status for its colored illustrations of lounge suits, formal wear, collegiate styles and leisure wear. These illustrations and advertisements provide a remarkable glimpse of a vanished world of clothing. Published from 1931 - 1957, Apparel Arts was a large format (11x14) book sold to haberdashers and often displayed in store for consultation of both salesman and buyer. E-100; 4to 11" - 13" tall .
