Does anyone have the book "Men's Fashion in the 20th Century" by Costantino? I just noticed it in a catalog and would really like a modern menswear book for my library if it's a good one.
I have it. It's not bad. It's a not a big book, but it has a fairly nice overview picture-wise--I haven't read the text, I must admit. It does fall prey to a common failing of clothing history books when they hit the second half of the twentieth century, which is that it's got pictures of couture and rock star clothing that was very far outside the norm for that time starting in about the 70s, but it has a decent selection of "normal people" clothes as well. Not that most of us couldn't research those decades in our own memory...or even in our own closets...
