1979-1988 Banana Republic Catalogs

“Incredible. If you have ever aspired to dress like an Indiana Jones understudy or Diane Keaton as Amelia Earhart, I present the Abandoned Republic archives. Lots of khaki and linen goodness here for future thrift endeavours. There are capsule wardrobes! French Naval Capes! Photojournalist vests! RAF shorts! Calfskin boots! Donegal Tweed Jackets! Leather money belts! Fisherman's sweaters! Welsh socks! In a stroke of corporate genius, Banana Republic has started hosting the Abandoned Republic guides on their own website. While most of me is sad that they no longer purvey "the finest in travel and safari" I am also just happy that this exists in the wilds of the internet.”
