    Top Secret - The Book of Spies and Agents
    The Untold Story of Menswear’s Renegade Past in The Rebel's Wardrobe by gestalten
    Over the last century, musicians, actors, artists, authors, and activists have used clothes to cultivate a defiant posture in the public eye. Style icons like Marlon Brando, James Dean, Miles Davis, Mick Jagger, David Bowie, and Steve McQueen turned the fashion world on its head by endowing particular clothes with new symbolism and meaning, especially with a sense of “cool.” A wide range of subcultures emulated the new styles, and what was once considered radical, in time became mainstream.
    Built like tanks but made for the skies, the shearling bombers were designed for frigid cockpits. They can handle whatever you can throw at them. Learn more about it The Rebel's Wardrobe a book by gestalten.
    The T-shirt is so firmly ensconced in the modern wardrobe that it’s easy to forget there was a time when baring one’s arms was a transgressive act. Thanks to both servicemen and silver-screen icons, the simple white tee crossed the boundary from underwear to outerwear, becoming an essential part of the modern man’s wardrobe.
    Though it may be tinged with nostalgia, the combat-ready A-2 is as imperishable and commanding today as when it first appeared. It refuses to fade away. World War II prompted the military to outfit its fighting personnel in highly functional, durable, and well-proportioned outerwear.
    In the second half of the twentieth century, utilitarian work boots drove wide-reaching style movements in London, Tokyo, and New York City, like the Dr. Martens featured in The Rebel’s Wardrobe by gestalten.
    There is an irony attached to the Harrington: somehow this coat, which defined 1950s conformism, found its way into the closets of nonconformists. Each of them—mods, skinheads, punks, and hipsters— adopted the coat as a form of rebellion against everything the Harrington seemed to stand for.
    Impractical for athletic contests, the hats were replaced within a few years by six-panel merino wool caps with short leather visors, the precursors of the modern baseball cap.
    Long before the turtleneck became a powerful symbol of radicalism, it was an old standby for fishermen, particularly in Guernsey, a small island in the English Channel, where the knitted sweaters continue to be made. The pattern is simple, allowing the sweater to be worn either backwards or forwards. Ganseys, as they came to be called, had a high neck, three-quarter length sleeves, and a diamond-shaped gusset in the armpit that allowed the arms to move freely in spite of the sweater’s tight fit.
    Friend to the seafarer, the chunky and oversized sweater from Galway Bay was the fisherman’s Sunday best. This fascinating piece of clothe is also featured in The Rebel’s wardrobe.
    The cast of Quadrophenia (1979): When they started shooting Quadrophenia, Sting (center) and his band The Police were relatively unknown. By the time the film was released, they were climbing the charts.
