Great stuff thanks for the time it took to scan. I have to get back to scanning a Hat Life I got a few months back.

 

[Nigel]

Excellent scans, now I just need to get the time machine finished and place an order[huh]

 

[Two Types]

There are some really chunky shoes in the catalogue.

Shell pockets in the Outdoorsman coat and an ad for a fireman's coat along side the everyday mans coat...fantastic scans.

 

[Stray Cat]

They are precious finds! Thank you for sharing them with us, sir. :thumb:

I used to design ads for a living and I love old ads like these. I have now switched to a landscaping job so I could use some good work clothes like that! The big shouldered men in the ads remind me of the big guys in my family.

As far as the rest of the clothes and hats...damn!

Some of my favourite scans yet... What was imitation leather made from in those days? Vinyl?

Thank you for the scans. I am still waiting for a Sears 30s catalog that I bought on ebay more than a month ago. I wish overseas shipping would be faster and cheaper.

 

[Talbot]

Brilliant! Sincere thanks for sharing.

I wonder what the idea was back then about denim pants and turn ups. I guess they are an informal cuff? Years ago I would buy jeans a size longer than I needed and would turn up the legs, I think I did that because I didn't know any better.

Again a great thread! Thanks Dinerman!

When I was a kid, my mom bought 'em for me that way so I wouldn't grow out of them so fast. I guess because everyone did it that way it became the 'right' way to wear them.

Same here. And sometimes, when I had outgrown them, a piece of fabric was sewn to the hem so they could be worn another few months.
