This entry is part 9 of 17 in the series 1935 Chicago Mail Order Company Catalog

It’s interesting that mens’ suits fashions haven’t changed much in about 80 years. Advertising for men has changed quite alot since the 1930s though- and prices! $8.95 – wow. 37 cents for a “fine yarn blue chambray” mens’ shirt in a style that looks like it could be worn today. I think fashions for boys have changed, but I don’t have kids or keep up on children’s clothing fashions.

Below are the scans from this section of the Summer 1935 Chicago Mail Order Company:

I am fascinated by early 1900s labor and feminist history, and have a sporadic addiction to reading nonfiction about those things on Archive.org. I scan old photographs and ephemera when I get really super bored. On Etsy I sell vintage clothing that I got as part of an interesting trade deal a few years ago.
