Here is Marion Taylor's report on some 1920 shopping options for the sportwoman looking for country clothing and attractive accessories (apologies for the June in January focus of her article).
Aside from Filson, Barbour and Beretta (and for a privileged demographic, Holland & Holland), who is minding the store for the current generation of archival sportswomen?
In the area of footwear, I'm happy to report that British Sporting Ltd still carries a scotchgrain boot for women by Crockett and Jones. Full country clothing selection, including Crockett and Jones, and Barbour, available
here.

Are those safari sneakers, or canvas ankle boots with vulcanized soles?

The ads from A&F and Bonwit's are wonderful. And now I'm getting all misty nostalgic about hats.
These are superb, thanks for sharing.
I have these boots. I bought them for $375. Me, the most frugal woman in the world bought gaspingly expensive boots. Why? Because I am frugal and I know the quality will last me for a lifetime. They feel wonderful and look even better.
These boots are very comfortable to wear and easy to take care of. Thank you for the post!
