W. J. Mahon's catalogs for men's fashions (Spring & Summer, 1921)
A 1921 spring and summer fashion catalogue issued by the W. J. Mahon firm, showing men's clothing for the retail trade. The four plates show full-length men in suits, hats, canes and white pocket squares, drawn in pen and wash with fine hatching. A designer could take from them the period cut of lapels, pleated trousers, striped jacket fabrics and the tailored silhouette of early 1920s menswear.
