Modern Man Part Two - The Psychedelic Hippie

Following on from yesterdays post, here is the second catalogue. Now this has got to be from the second half of 1967, the summer of love had a huge impact on mens and women's fashion and judging from the content here - the mail order fashion world was no exception! Hope you enjoy these too!

Some good collars here, and a rather nice ruffle too.

The Kaftan - the most exciting newcomer on the fashion scene!

Great Nehru style jacket, don't forget your hippie bells too.

More exotic eastern influenced fashion, plus a jolly sensible sweater.

Unused envelope - check my flickr for the order forms too!

Modern Man Part One - The Dandy

You know those ads for Mail Order catalogues you see in the back of old vintage magazines and you always think "I wish I could get one and order the clothes from it now!" well, you still can't order any of the clothes but I do have in my collection a couple of very cool items which I thought I would love to share on here. Below are a selection of pages I have scanned from the Modern Man Catalogues who (probably jumping on the bandwagon) had their offices based in that most swingingest of London places, Carnaby Street. I have two copies, the first I would date to either very late 1966 or early 1967 due to the Kinks-like regency dandy style of some of the items and by the trouser cuts. I hope you enjoy! Stayed tuned for Part 2 - The Psychedelic Hippie, coming tomorrow. Also if you go to the bottom of this post you'll find a link to my Flickr where you will find the rest of the pages.

Yes, those are ivory fur swimming trunks. Hot! In more ways than one I suspect!

Love the spoon collars here.

Awesome Huntsman style jacket - these type of things never come up for sale nowadays.

More lovely tailoring, a fabulous cape and note that the Du Barry frock coat is available in green, scarlet, purple or navy - yum!

You know the man in your life needs a tiger print beach skirt.
