Yeah, you're probably the only one who didn't know about this. We've been getting this catalog for years. It's fully of ugly stuff...expensive, too.

I don't know if they always do this, but I have one where the clothes are all drawn (instead of photagraphed) so how do you know what the stuff is going to look like.

It's always been all drawn - no photos. Some of the items, like the ladies' skirts, look like they've been water colored...really weird. So how do you know what it's going to look like? You trust that the person who drew the pix is a good artist, that's how.

The figures are always drawn in the Peterman catalog (doesn't the Banana Republic do they same thing?).

As a life-long resident of the self-proclaimed Banana Republic, AKA Australia (our Treasurer called us this some years ago!!), I would like to say that we draw nothing!! Drawing is banned, and has been for years. No pencils, crayons or even chalk. No drawing, no lines, squiggles, funny shapes. Oh no, out with the drawing. Hate the drawing!
Also, I'd love to see a real Peterman catelogue. You see, here in the Banana Republic we do not know of these thingss
Email me if you have a catelogue you'd be willing to share with me.
Thanks
Peter
"Erections are nothing more than the ebbing and waning of masculine life" I know..I've been there!
I just got the new J. Peterman Catalog last week, and guess who's on the front cover? The Maestro!
