I need to find this book because I think this is what’s missing from my life. I long for the smugness of fancy cycling.

Fancy cyclists require fancy cycling garments.

Nurses Uniforms by Pierre Cardin, 1970

In the future men are nurses so where’s my futuristic space-age nursing uniform Mr Pierre Cardin?

And they’re not even wearing enclosed shoes.

Cole of California swimwear advertisement, 1954.

Fur-printed cotton… cut and shirred to make you the choicest specimen in captivity! Zebra, leopard, tigress… which are you?

Fully pre-feminism.

The Chap:

Am I A Chap? by Gustav Temple is published by Beautiful Books. This comprehensive tome seeks to classify every species and sub-species of the English gentleman that one may observe throughout the seasons, from the flamboyant young fop the crusty old duffer. Looking at the origins of the “Chap” genus, in figures such as Edward VII and Ian Carmichael, and their caddish counterparts such as Terry-Thomas and Bunny Roger, the book takes us up to the present day with comtemporary types such as the Bohemian Chap and the Hip Chap.

I asked my parents for this as my birthday present.
