"The stylish writing, splendid illustrations, and witty clothing reviews that have made the Banana Republic catalogue so popular fill this full-color volume and make it your passport to a very special world. Here, you'll discover the whole exciting story of the durable, classic clothes that have stood the test of time to exemplify the essence of Mel and Patricia Ziegler's Banana Republic.
Open these pages and trek through the desolate beauty of the Australian outback or the lush jungles of Africa as you contemplate the history and the virtues of the safari jacket, the pith helmet, and the bush vest. "Should Khakis Match?" and "Just How Tough Are Those Gurkhas?" are some of the questions you'll ponder. Sip espresso in a sophisticated European capital in your Italian waiter's jacket or the ever-versatile weekend dress and meditate on "Who's a Tourist and Who's a Traveler?" On to the tropics where you'll soak up the sun as well as the history of the Caribbean shirt, Riviera shorts, and the Panama hat. In Alaska's magnificent cold whiteness, the fisherman's sweater is your best friend.
Photographs of such diverse adventurers as Ernest Hemingway, Charles Lindbergh, and Teddy Roosevelt; great stills from Hollywood movies (the immortal trenchcoat!); more than 300 full-color illustrations as well as travel journals and writings of Sir Richard Burton, Isak Dinesen, Evelyn Waugh, and others complete THE BANANA REPUBLIC GUIDE TO TRAVEL AND SAFARI CLOTHING. If you like the catalogue, you'll love the book!
