Peacock Revolution [EPUB ebook] 
American Masculine Identity and Dress in the Sixties and Seventies

The Peacock Revolution in menswear of the 1960s came as a profound shock to much of America. Men“s long hair and vividly colored, sexualized clothes challenged long established traditions of masculine identity.
Peacock Revolution is an in-depth study of how radical changes in men“s clothing reflected, and contributed to, the changing ideas of American manhood initiated by a “youthquake“ of rebellious baby boomers coming of age in an era of social revolutions.



Featuring a detailed examination of the diverse socio-cultural and socio-political movements of the era, the book examines how those dissents and advocacies influenced the youthquake generation“s choices in dress and ideas of masculinity. Daniel Delis Hill provides a thorough chronicle of the peacock fashions of the time, beginning with the mod looks of the British Invasion in the early 1960s, through the counterculture street styles and the mass-market trends they inspired, and concluding with the dress-for-success menswear revivals of the 1970s Me-Decade.
