Few publications illustrate so comprehensively what American men, women, and children wore in the 1940s than the Sears catalogs of those years, when the company's fashions typified the tastes of the American mainstream. This book is a compilation of 122 fully illustrated and captioned pages selected and reproduced from rare copies of Sears catalogs of the World War II era.
Over 120 large-format pages have been carefully reprinted on high-quality glossy stock. They reveal in sharp detail the broad range of clothing fashions available during a period when wartime gasoline rationing made mail-order shopping reach new heights of popularity.
Hundreds of accurately detailed drawings depict articles of clothing and personal accessories, including hats, overcoats, shoes, dresses, sportswear, undergarments, neckties, and more. Styles for children range from play clothes to "Sunday best." Men's clothing reflects the conservativism in male fashions during the period. Women's wear ranges from slacks, newly popular with women in the workforce, to dresses with plenty of "Oomph."
Here is a richly revealing document that historians of costume and readers interested in fashion, social history, and Americana will find endlessly fascinating. JoAnne Olian, curator of the Costume Collection at the Museum of the City of New York, has written an introduction that appraises the fashions of the 1940s and the many ways in which they reflected the times.

Harder and heavier than a dog toy should be, but it is sturdy.
Color: Mixed Blue
The outer rim is a very hard plastic, hard enough to dent and ding furniture. Too hard to throw in the house. Dog likes it but has difficulty getting his mouth around the sides as the item is very heavy for its size. Squeaker in the middle was a a nice surprise. Would not buy again.

Durable and well made.
Color: Mixed Blue
Our dog will chew any toy up in 2.5 seconds. This has lasted for quite some time. It's super hard which can be a downfall because they lose interest. Squeeker is hard to push down but overall it's outlasted other toys.
