I just saw this digital edition of Vanity Fair from 1935 on V. F.'s website - http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/vanityfair/nxtd/

There are some cites to menswear on pages 52-53 and 66-68 that are worth checking out.

I'm not familar with this digital reader (Nxtbook), but the colors came out ok. Let's hope that the whole A.A. shows up like this some day.

Really great, I hope they continue the effort.

Page 53 makes reference to a jersey knitted jacket developed by A&S, looks like something that needs to be resurrected. I plan to ask about it when I see John H.

Also, for those of you who like typefaces, there are some great sans serif typefaces that put Helvetica and Engravers Gothic to shame.
