Greetings all,
I finally hunted down some illumination images that I had seen a few years
back, but then disappeared while the French museum was redoing their web site.
I finally found them again, although there is no stable url to give you as a
pointer.
But I have put a few of them of

that 18 and 19 century corsets or stays were made in one or two parts, usually
with the busk fastening at the front and laced together at the back.
In the early 20 century things got more complicated, an underbelt was

Howdy,
My man has become a Fedora Fanatic and he's asked me for a source showing
the evolution of men's hats through the last century, to nail down his
preferred styles. He's looking for brim and crown changes over the decades.
Can anyone recommend resources for men's styles? 20th C. is right

I can't find anything offhand that really gives the evolution, but I imagine
someone on this list will. Of course, you can always leaf through the pages of
men's magazines (or figuratively, on microfilm.) However, be sure he learns
the different styles
There's a very interesting show of 19th century garments at the Shippensburg
University Fashion Archives. Though the museum is a little difficult to get
to, it's great to look at clothes there because they're not in glass cases
and you can get a close view from several angles. Curator Dr. Karin

That's a good idea. Also, less systematic but lots of fun, is to watch old
movies from different periods.

Regina,
The Sears Catalogs that Sharon wrote about are the Dover publications, a
decade of fashion from the Sears Catalogs, from the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and
even the 60s, although Lloyd might not find any men's hats in that one. Each
decade is also broken down by year so it's even better than you

Does anyone have a source for online vintage police uniforms? Or, barring

As a corset fan and owner of many, I can tell you that they are easy to put
on by yourself, so the piece on each side is a little puzzling.
I am a member of a number of corset makers and enthusiasts groups so I can

Have you tried your local city archives? Your local police may also have their
own museum/archives you could check out. Good luck!

My understanding is that the waist belt takes some of the stress load
off the eyelets, at what would otherwise be the point of the greatest

Here is one response so far:
*Dear Sidney,*
*They are the two front suspender straps, a pretty common arrangement in
wraparound corsets(/girdles) of the period with an underbelt and usually
un-elastic. The purpose is to anchor the underbelt as well as the main

You'll never get away with it, security cameras can see under those old brims

The city matters I think. My 1st image involved a double breasted tunic (coat)
and an 8 point cap unless you want Keystone Kops.
Heres a pic from Wiki

Looks almost like a regular frock coat... and Hatcrafters has the helmut I
think...
Since the Keystone Kops are a little early for 1929, here are some pics just
from Google.
