These styles will ring a bell not only with America's baby-boomers, but also with current fashion trend watchers. Today's interest in retro fashions makes this book as current as it would have been more than thirty years ago, but the quality is much better. Using today's technology, it presents more than 400 color photographs of clothing styles for men, women, and children culled from 1964-67 Sears Catalogs. Images of mohair sweaters, cardigan sets, bloomer playsuits, madras jackets, checked gingham shifts with matching triangle scarves, ruffled rib-tickler tops and capri pants, Bermuda collars, wraparound skirts, maternity wear, and even days-of-the-week panties all combine to give us a look into what the average American was wearing, along with descriptions and original prices. Current prices are listed for some of the items for those interested in collectible vintage clothing from the era.

Come see the hipper side of Sears! Great '60s clothes ref.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fashionable Clothing: From the Sears Catalogs - Mid 1960s (A Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)
Sure, "Radical Rags" is an amazing book, but very few could actually afford, or indeed have the guts, to wear many of the designs it features. This book shows how the look of the '60s trickled down to the middle American masses. Don't be put off by the Sears name--many of the outfits here are divine, and some are downright outlandish. Even the prim suits look fresh and cute. Unlike some other books on vintage clothing from this publisher, this one features actual source photos from the period, so the hair-dos, make-up, accessories and overall look are accurate. The companion volumes on the late '60s and 1950s are equally fab.

Received the book fine, wish the book had even more photos! Whether you survived these clothes like I did, or are too young and are curious, you'll get a kick out of these books. Great for students of fashion and pop culture too.
