The Costumer's Manifesto is written by Tara Maginnis, and proudly hosted by William Baker.

THE MANIFESTO IS MUTATING!  IT IS TURNING INTO A WIKI THAT CAN BECOME THE HIVE MIND OF ALL COSTUMERS, FINALLY LIVING UP TO IT'S SLOGAN: "COSTUMERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!" YOU CAN HELP IN THIS PROCESS BY MOVING PAGES TO THE NEW SITE AT THECOSTUMERSMANIFESTO.COM, HELPING TO EDIT THE PAGES THAT ARE THERE ALREADY, AND ADDING YOUR OWN ORIGINAL INPUT.

Men's Dress Spring and Summer 1935 designed and custom tailored by J.L. Taylor & Co. New York & Chicago

This is a huge (19" x 23" x 2") oversize shop catalog printed in 1934 with swatch pages which would have been used by a small-town tailor's shop's customers to order custom made suits from the city. Many of the swatches are missing. This copyright expired catalog may be used for any non-profit educational purpose such as study, school papers, and class project web sites.
