Description
A Perfect Fit: The Garment Industry and American Jewry (1860-1960) by Gabriel M. Goldstein and Elizabeth Greenberg is a comprehensive exploration of the role of American Jews in shaping the national garment industry from the Civil War era to the mid-20th century. This copiously illustrated book brings together twelve scholars to examine various aspects of the industry, including its development, relationships with Britain and France, and the impact of immigration on American fashion. The essays also delve into the early film industry's connection to American fashion, advertising history, and regional manufacturing centers. Through a diverse range of perspectives, A Perfect Fit provides a fascinating insight into the complex history of the American garment industry, weaving together important threads that shed light on American society, culture, and industrialization during this period.
