It's been a long time since I posted here on Shelf-ish, so I'm going to get back in the game with a few posts about digitized content.
Last night, while searching for illustrations of 1920s men's clothing styles, I came across some catalogs digitized by the New York Public Library. My favorite pages were the ads in the back for the new-fangled "zipper" technology. The Talon Trouser Fastener helps when you don't want "any possibility of embarrassing fastening failure."
Ah! Like death and taxes, the wardrobe malfunction is eternal.
