Wonderful!:eusa_clap And I love the Summer Togs shown from 1939! $3.95 for the Riviera trouser-shirt set; that'd be about $60 today, perhaps even more. That wool sport coat would now retail for at least $120, and wouldn't be as well-made. As I've said before, we don't see many examples of casual wear from (and therefore don't associate them with) the pre-war era, but they did exist...

Terrific...
Splendid job, Gene: the two summer outfits in particular are especially close to my aspirational heart!

Very nice, I especially like the use of a bush jacket for casual wear and the extra wide "sports trousers".
Thanks!
Thanks!

The above slack suits are very similar to the ones from this 1941 Sears summer catalogue (collars look a tad bit wider, though).

Great scans! The last two pages are also reproduced in Everyday Fashions of the Thirties (see Amazon), which is basically an eite collection of pags from Sears catalogues throughout the 30s. Other volumes exist for all 20th Century decades up to the 60s, I believe - I just last weekend took delivery of the 30s, 40s and 50s volumes. REally useful resources. The only drawback is that the quantity of men's clothing in them is much more limited than that for women, but then I suppose that's reflective of the originals.
