W. J. Mahon's catalogs for men's fashions (Fall & Winter, 1907-08)
A fall and winter 1907-08 men's fashion catalogue issued by the W. J. Mahon firm, a clothing house, for customers buying tailored suits and overcoats in the United States. The plates show men in dress coats, frock coats, top hats, bowlers and overcoats, grouped under headings such as Half-Dress and Business and For Business Wear, with numbered figures in pencil-like line drawings. A designer could take the crisp tailoring silhouettes, the restrained grey palette of the wool suits, and the layouts that pair figures with section captions.
