Fashion Victims: The Dangers of Dress Past and PresentFrom insidious murder weapons to blaze igniting crinolines, clothing has been the cause of death, disease and madness throughout history, by accident and design. Clothing is designed to protect, shield and comfort us, yet lurking amongst seemingly innocuous garments we find hats laced with mercury, frocks laden with arsenic and literally 'drop dead gorgeous' gowns. Fabulously gory and gruesome, Fashion Victims takes the reader on a fascinating journey
From insidious murder weapons to blaze-igniting crinolines, clothing has been the cause of death, disease and madness throughout history, by accident and design. Clothing is designed to protect, shield and comfort us, yet lurking amongst seemingly innocuous garments we find hats laced with mercury, frocks laden with arsenic and literally 'drop-dead gorgeous' gowns.
Fabulously gory and gruesome, Fashion Victims takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the lethal history of women's, men's and children's dress, in myth and reality. Drawing upon surviving fashion objects and numerous visual and textual sources, encompassing louse-ridden military uniforms, accounts of the fiery deaths of Oscar Wilde's half-sisters and dancer Isadora Duncan's accidental strangulation by entangled scarf; the book explores how garments have tormented those who made and wore them, and harmed animals and the environment in the process. Vividly chronicling evidence from Greek mythology to the present day, Matthews David puts everyday apparel under the microscope and unpicks the dark side of fashion. Fashion Victims is lavishly illustrated with over 125 images and is a remarkable resource for everyone from scholars and students to fashion enthusiasts.Binding Type: Paperback

**Title: Perfect Fit and Style for the Price!**
Size: XX-Large, Color: Navy Blue
I recently purchased the Gafeng Men's Trench Coat in XXL, and I couldn't be happier with my choice! At 6'2" and 210 lbs with an athletic build, I was initially concerned about finding the right fit, but this coat exceeded my expectations. The fit is perfect—tailored yet comfortable—and the length is just right.
The style matches the pictures exactly, which is something I’ve struggled with in past purchases. The lightweight, wooly fabric is surprisingly warm, making it ideal for winter without feeling bulky.
For the cost, this coat is a fantastic deal. It looks sharp enough for business attire while still being versatile for casual outings. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a stylish and functional overcoat!

Definitely NOT the COLOR that’s advertised but not bad
I got this for my son for him to have his 1st official “dressy” coat for certain occasions. It will do for the price, but as I said in the description, it’s definitely not the color that’s shown in the advertisement. Its also not taken in like the picture. But not bad. It’s more of a camel color than a khaki like the advertisement. My son is 5’9 and has a slim build, I bought a L because he’s tall and this fits fine to be honest. I want him to be able to grow into it next year as well. If you have long arms you may wanna size up.
