I have a faculty member who is looking for clothing patterns for "oxford
bags"--- the very baggy pants worn by Oxford students around 1926.
So far we've looked in books that reproduce patterns, various reference
books for clues (like Esquire's Encyclopedia of Twentieth Century Men's
Fashions and the Encyclopedia of Clothing and Fashion (description but
no patterns), and several trade publications from the twenties
including: the Sartorial Gazette, American Gentleman and Sartorial Art
Journal, Man and His Clothes, Newest Styles for Men, The International
Tailor, and Progressive Tailor.
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know...
Thanks
Amy
