From the outset, America was settled by
individualists and adventurers who severed ties with the old world to find
their destiny in an unknown land, a separation that opened the way for change
in a less stratified society. To survive the challenges of a new environment,
the American man needed garments that were functional and well-designed,
qualities that continue to endure at the very heart of American menswear. From
Levi Strauss, the Ivy League, and Frank Sinatra to Kanye West, cowboys, and
counterculture, this book celebrates quintessentially American fashion themes,
designers, and icons emulated around the world. Foreword by Ralph Lauren.
