A pleasure to read … Kaplan has, with very real skill, produced a close analysis of the design and wearing of men’s clothing in 19th- and early 20th-century Vienna … This text has left me sadder and wiser – with a far greater understanding of the roots and depth of anti-Semitism in Austria in this period. * Lou Taylor, University of Brighton, UK * This highly original study of Viennese Jewish men recreates their culture of clothing with clarity and imagination … Essential reading for those interested in men’s dress and modernism. * Peter McNeil, University of Technology Sydney, Australia * This book offers fresh, new perspectives on the critical role of men’s clothing in fashioning modern Jewish identities. Jews in Suits presents a thought-provoking examination of the sartorial habits of rabbis, politicians, authors and scientists, who granted themselves the authority to shine in the cultural scenes in Vienna and beyond. * Elana Shapira, University of Vienna, Austria * Jews in Suits is an erudite, handsomely printed, and substantial book, by an emerging voice in Jewish and Fashion Studies. * Australian Journal of Jewish Studies *
