I have been reading industry trade journal "Clothes" from 1968.
There are a couple of terms that I haven't come across during this time frame.
What is a tennis neckline for women? Can someone please point me to
an image of one.
Menswear: What is a d-b blazer? What does the d-b stand for?
I have been looking to purchase more of these journals for years
without luck. I can not find what was the run time of this
publication. My issue are Vol. 3, so I assume this was the third
year of publication. The publisher is PRADS and the magazine was
produced twice a month on the 1st and 15th monthly.
I really like the trade journals for the history of fashion
industry. I have some 1890s Dry Goods Economist journals. Also, I
have two Edwardian era books published by the National Wholesale Dry
Goods Association...these were their annual symposium meetings and
reports. I have a few National Association of Retail Clothiers trade
journal from the WW1 era. Are there other trade journals that I
should be looking for pre-1970?

Could "d-b" stand for "double-breasted"?
