The Desired Article - A Concise Look At Style by JL Disley

Writer and Poet Jason Disley, with zeal and attention to detail, like any good connoisseur, embarks upon a journey with his latest work, The Desired Article: A Concise Look At Style. A book that delves into the origins and history of men’s fashion, be it Sta-Prest trousers, Pea Coats, The Harrington Jacket, Pork Pie Hats, Bermuda Shorts, and many other items that a discerning person feels are essential to have in their stylish wardrobe.

Emphasising on garments that are often taken for granted and were manufactured out of necessity and particularity, not necessarily because of style. Yet, in The Desired Article: A Concise Look At Style, Disley endeavours to describe how these apparels have been adopted, adapted, and in most cases improved. From the Ivy League Students on campuses in the USA during the 1960s to the original Suede heads on the football terraces in the 1970s. Whatever subculture, each has made a declaration and dedication to their chosen fashion.  With the ideology that looking stylish with a confident attitude is a must in a hectic world. An attitude that is still going strong today, as these articles show their ongoing relevance.  

A must for everyone who loves their clobber and has a lust for counterculture this is a history of those articles many have desired.
