" On a recent visit to the new offices of Hart Schaffner Marx, the newly retooled, made-in-the-U.S.A. manufacturer for Hickey Freeman and its own eponymous label, we were impressed by two things. First: the clothing \u2014 it looked great, with newly slim silhouettes for suits and eye-catching pops of color (especially the rich madras), texture, and sophisticated-but-loose styling by newly appointed creative director Joseph Abboud. Second: the stuff Mr. Abboud had hanging on the wall. The archival images throughout the offices and showrooms \u2014 many of them by artists like Edward Penfield, Thomas Webb, and John E. Sheridan, whose work featured prominently in the history of this magazine as well \u2014 were mounted on fabrics from the collection before being framed, and to excellent effect. All these meticulous renderings of seventy- and eighty-year-old styles next to Spring 2011&amp;#039;s offerings \u2014 fascinating. We figured you would get a kick out of them, too.
