What you don't notice the Neapolitan discrete waist suppression and the goodyear welt pumps?

You can't idolise this. Really. That man is wearing flip-flops.

Hello there LabelKing,

Thank you for your quick reply

I did contact Sotheby's in London but they didn't have any catalogues. I did also try a dealer called The Cary Collection based in New York which, according to its listing on Abebooks, had 6 such catalogues. I even rang the dealer and he assured me that he would put aside 2 catalogues for me but after waiting nearly a week he merely cancelled my order without so much as an explanatory email. He was so friendly and reassuring which had me all agog that a catalogue would be winging its way to me but I think he was really only leading me a merry dance.

I have a Sunday Times (UK) article on Bunny Roger which I would like to scan and post at some point. Do you know the one? It came out shortly after he'd died.

Regards,

Azeemfiji

I got mine from a seller known as the Catalog Kid: www.catalogkid.com/ They may have it but it's not listed on the website. The cover has a zebra-skin pattern, and is called The Roger Collection. I think I've read that article, but it would be nice if you scanned and posted it.

The pic is a bit blurry on my monitor, but it sure looks like Prince Albert, the Duke of York, later King George VI of England.

Thanks for that. I just missed out on one on ebay selling, incredibly, for 99 pence by a few days! But I think I may have located another one in New York (Brooklyn this time rather than Manhattan) for $96. The seller has emailed to say it's available. I've yet to hear back from 'The Catalogue Kid' but I might go thither for another catalogue not that I'm trying to corner the market in Bunny Roger catalogues but on the premise that one should always have two of such things: one for dipping into and one for archiving (almost sounds like an Oscar Wilde witticism!). Oddly enough, I've been trying to get one since 2006 but it's only now that I'm a lot more internet-savvy - and that I've finally girded up my loins - that I'm finally seeing things happen

Yes, it's interesting to see how such things have become rather desirable. I remember once seeing the special slip-cased Windsor catalogs for sale at a discount bin at Barnes & Noble.

Can someone explain why? Why would anyone want a catalog of a ****** **********er (unless you have a fetish for that sort of thing, then SF might be the wrong forum)? I don't understand. This is a serious question.

He wasn't a transsexual and as for cross dressing, well, it was a relatively common diversion among English aristocracy. This is Style Forum and Bunny seems to have had more than his share.
