I have been reading industry trade journal "Clothes" from 1968. There are a couple of terms that I haven't come across during this time frame.
What is a tennis neckline for women? Can someone please point me to an image of one. Menswear: What is a d-b blazer? What does the d-b stand for? I have been looking to purchase more of these journals for years without luck. I can not find what was the run time of this publication. My issue are Vol. 3, so I assume this was the third year of publication. The publisher is PRADS and the magazine was produced twice a month on the 1st and 15th monthly. I really like the trade journals for the history of fashion industry. I have some 1890s Dry Goods Economist journals. Also, I have two Edwardian era books published by the National Wholesale Dry Goods Association...these were their annual symposium meetings and reports. I have a few National Association of Retail Clothiers trade journal from the WW1 era. Are there other trade journals that I should be looking for pre-1970?
