Description:
"Quite simply the most fascinating record of a '(fashion) victim' one could hope for." The Spectator


This captivating study reproduces arguably the most extraordinary primary source documents in fashion history. Providing a revealing window onto the Renaissance, it chronicles how style-conscious accountant Matthaus Schwarz and his son Veit Konrad experienced life through clothes, and climbed the social ladder through fastidious management of self-image. These bourgeois dandies' agenda resonates as powerfully today as it did in the 16th century- one has to dress to impress, and dress to impress they did.


The Schwarzes recorded their sartorial triumphs as well as failures in life in a series of portraits by illuminists over 60 years, which have been comprehensively reproduced in full color for the first time. These exquisite illustrations are accompanied by the Schwarzes' fashion-focussed yet at times deeply personal captions, which render the pair the world's first fashion bloggers and pioneers of everyday portraiture.

The First Book of Fashion demonstrates how dress seemingly both ephemeral and trivial is a potent tool in the right hands. Beyond this, it colorfully recaptures the experience of Renaissance life and reveals the importance of clothing to the aesthetics and everyday culture of the period.


Historians Ulinka Rublack's and Maria Hayward's insightful commentaries create an unparalleled portrait of 16th-century dress that is both strikingly modern and thorough in its description of a true Renaissance fashionista's wardrobe. This first English translation also includes a bespoke pattern by TONY

Nice, but a bit transparent.
Size: X-Large, Color: Lake Green
I love the feel of this shirt. It is very cool and comfortable. The only thing I will add is that this shirt is a bit see-through. If I wear it, I do not feel comfortable unless I have an undershirt on.

Comfortable golf shirt
Color: Navy, Size: XX-Large, Color: Navy, Size: XX-Large
I recently tried the Esabel.C Men’s Golf Polo Shirt (Pique, Short Sleeve, Stretch, Moisture-Wicking), and it’s a great everyday performance shirt that balances comfort, style, and functionality. The first thing I noticed is the lightweight pique fabric, which has a subtle texture that feels breathable and soft against the skin. Pique polos are designed to allow better airflow, making them ideal for warm weather or active use. The moisture-wicking and quick-dry properties work well to keep sweat away from the body, helping you stay cool and comfortable throughout the day. The stretch material is another standout feature. It moves easily with your body, which is especially helpful for activities like golf, walking, or even just long workdays. Performance polos often use blends like polyester and spandex to provide flexibility and improve range of motion without feeling restrictive. Fit-wise, the shirt has a clean, modern look—not too tight and not too loose. It works well tucked in for a more polished appearance or untucked for a casual style. The classic collar and button placket keep it looking sharp enough for both the golf course and casual office settings. I also like how easy it is to care for. The fabric resists wrinkles and holds its shape after washing, making it a low-maintenance option for everyday wear. Shirts like this are popular because they transition easily from sports to casual wear without sacrificing comfort. Pros: Breathable pique fabric with moisture-wicking performance Comfortable stretch material for easy movement Lightweight and quick-drying Versatile style for golf, work, or casual wear Easy to wash and maintain Overall: The Esabel.C Men’s Performance Golf Polo Shirt is a reliable, comfortable option for anyone looking for a stylish, breathable, and functional polo. Whether you’re on the golf course, at work, or just out for the day, it delivers solid performance and everyday comfort at a great value.
