A New York Times Best Art Book of 2019; “A riveting book . . few stones are left unturned.”—Roberta Smith’s “Top Art Books of 2019,” The New York Times

This fascinating and enlightening study of the tie-on pocket combines materiality and gender to provide new insight into the social history of women’s everyday lives—from duchesses and country gentry to prostitutes and washerwomen—and to explore their consumption practices, sociability, mobility, privacy, and identity. A wealth of evidence reveals unexpected facets of the past, bringing women’s stories into intimate focus.  

“What particularly interests Burman and Fennetaux is the way in which women of all classes have historically used these tie-on pockets as a supplementary body part to help them negotiate their way through a world that was not built to suit them.”—Kathryn Hughes, The Guardian     “A brilliant book.”—Ulinka Rublack, Times Literary Supplement

Great jacket for the price!
Size: XX-Large, Color: White
The denim jacket has a nice relaxed fit without feeling too baggy and it looks great doing it. There's just enough elastic for the jacket to stretch a little without losing its shape. The color's accurate and it's hard to beat the price so I've no notes!

You get what you pay for
Size: 13, Color: Black
First thing I noticed when unboxing was the Strong plastic smell coming out of the shoe I tried them on and Shoe runs small I bought size 13 and it was way to tight I ended up giving them to a co worker that use size 12 and fit him perfectly, he started walking and the rubber sole was leaving black marks all over the tile floor you could see exactly where he was stepping and left a trail he literally used them for less than 1 hr and ended up throwing them away, definitely you get what you pay for. Reminds me of payless shoes, cheap smelly plastic shoes.
