Reviews

McCauley Bowstead's talent lies not only his is deft handling of an enormous quantity of material, but also in his ability to write coherently with sophistication. His work is like a bespoke suit compared to ready-to-wear. You know-and appreciate-the difference once you slip it on. Menswear Revolution is quality craftsmanship. -- Andy Reilly, University of Hawai`i, Manoa, USA
