Coz' Every Girl's Crazy 'Bout A Sharp Dressed Man!

Look at these Dapper Dans from The Chicago Mail Order Catalog from 1933!

"Hollywood Style-Hits for Peppy Young Fellows." "A Suit good enough for the President's son."

"On the level men, it's the greatest "suit-buy" in all America, a suit men who never paid less than $15.00 would be glad to wear."

"These "Style-Clad" suits tower like skyscrapers over competitive suits..."

"Ken Maynard (Famous Hero Of Many Movie Thrillers) says: Your "Style-Clad" clothes for men, not only meet with my heartiest approval as to fashion-rightness and tailoring, but astound me beyond words by their low price!"

"A brisk, virile-looking style, interpreted by a strong, super-serviceble material...that's a "team" to win any man!"

"A smart, fashion-right suit, with a double-breasted, patch-pocketed coat that gives "the younger element" the brisk, sporty breezy air of a motion-picture magnet "off-duty"."

"Days that would make you feel as limp as a wet dish-rag if you wore a wool suit, won't faze the man wearing either of these summertime pep-savers!"

"With such a hat romance can't be far behind" - More Hats from Chicago Mail Order Catalog 1933

"Stunning" "Superb" "Swanky"
"Coquettish and seductive member of Fashions latest "cult", its mask brim dipping to "shadow" twinkling eyes"
"Dainty and Dressy"
"It demonstrates that a conservatively "tailored" hat may be radically smart...liberally charming!"

If you look at the post several days ago that showed hats from the fifties you can see the differences, these have more brims, but they sure aren't huge wide hats...instead small, close to the head with lots of details.

For Women Who Demand The Newest! - More Hats from Chicago Mail Order Catalog 1933

"Winning Style - Wonder Value"
"Lillian Bond - Alluring WAMPAS "Starlet" of 1932 is thrilled by our last-minute styles!"
"Sweet Peggy Shannon voices movieland's approval of 'Style Queen' hats"
"It reduces 'overhead' expense while greatly increasing your chic!"
"Dorthy Wilson - Radio Pictures 1932 Wampas "Starlet" is thrilled at the beauty and value of our 'Style Queen" fashions."
"Down-In-Front is Up In Favor!"

I just love these ads, but I had to find out what WAMPAS stood for. The Western Association of Motion Picture Advertisers picked 13 'starlets' each year and then they got to speak with authority about many topics...apparently including ladies hats. But I'm sure they really were thrilled by these...who wouldn't be?
