Review
"[A] fascinating study . . . From the New Edwardians and muscle boys to Radical Drag and Genderfuck, Don We Now Our Gay Apparel has it all."--Gay Times

"This is a very readable book about gay men"s dress in the 20th century, from coded signifiers of sexuality to macho cowboy clones."--The Scotsman

"Hegemonic masculinity is a whole subject in itself, entertainingly and learnedly discussed in Shaun Cole"s perfectly titled Don We Now Our Gay Apparel, which shows in fascinating detail how "clothing has been a primary method of identification for and of gay men."--London Review of Books

"This wonderfully named volume is an important addition to a thin area of research ... The book is an informative read, for both gay and straight students ... This is an academic work, but worthy of a wider following."--Amazon Books

"Deftly documents nuances associated with gay male dress and their impact on the fashion world,providing the reader with a deeper appreciation of the homosexual aesthete."--Choice

"Shaun Cole has excavated a subculture rich in sartorial signifiers ... A fascinating and comprehensive account. It is a treasury of fascinating material ... What comes through is the almost magical quality of dress."--History Workshop Journal
