The many friends of Cameron Buchanan, cloth man extraordinaire, have been delighted to see him recovering from his recent illness.It’s good to have him up and about again. I dropped in to see him in the lovely Edinburgh apartment he shares with his wife Emma on September 3. I wore a tartan tie in his honour. He wore a pink shirt in mine.

Sharp Suits

Jan Rust — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 15:00:20 +0000

Suits is my pictorial celebration of men’s tailoring over the past 150 years or so. Alongside about 26,000 words, there are almost 150 images in the 200-page hardback and I worked hard to find pictures that were not too familiar. The book was published by Pavilion (part of Anova Books) in September 2009 and it was launched with a brilliant party at Richard James’ main store on Savile Row. The luxury cloth merchant Dormeuil and the prestigious Italian menswear brand Pal Zileri both produced limited editions of the cover wrap for special clients. Anova used the front cover image of a Ted Lapidus suit from 1966 on its seasonal catalogue.

Cult: A Visual History of Jeanswear

Jan Rust — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 14:58:19 +0000

While I was working at Sportswear International magazine, I was asked to write some supporting text for a great pictorial book on classic denims from Levi’s, Lee and Wrangler. The fashion director William Gilchrist (now stylist to the Rolling Stones) and the in-house photographer Roberto Manzotti arranged their finds by decades. I wrote a short introductory chapter for each decade, setting the changes in jeanswear in the social, economic and cultural context of the USA. Twenty years on, Cult: A Visual History of Jeanswear is a hard-to-find favourite with denim fans.
