Interesting to see oil-silk being used as early as 1942. I wonder if the war effort allowed them to continue its use?

Wow, the hat that Mr. Binoculars is sporting could easily pass for something ten or fifteen years older. I didn't realize that trend rolled back around during the war years.

EDIT: Just saw the suit swatches. I want a suit in Freedom Blue. It's a shame today's blue suits are nowhere near that color.

Thanks for posting this, Lefty!
