The Rebels' Wardrobe

Where did the t-shirt come from, and how did the white shirt become a symbol of rebellion? The Rebel's Wardrobe explores the fascinating stories behind the most iconic garments in menswear.

This book delves into the most important cornerstones of the male wardrobe – from the classic leather jacket and jeans to cargo pants and hoodies. Many of today's most everyday garments originated as functional workwear or military uniforms, developed for specific purposes before being adopted by subcultures and turned into symbols of style and identity.

Through in-depth texts and a rich visual archive, the journey from the battlefield and factory floor to the Hollywood screen and fashion scene is traced. The book illuminates how garments originally created out of necessity ended up defining generations of men. The Rebel's Wardrobe is an indispensable guide for anyone interested in fashion history, style, and the historical roots of the clothes we wear every day.
