Jews in Suits: Men's Dress in Vienna, 1890-1938

In modern Vienna, the Jewish men were the important participants in the cultural development and some of them were dressed themselves in ‘modern’ tailored suits. At the turn of the century, wearing suits became fashionable among the urban Jewish men and it also developed new models of Jewish identities beyond the externally prescribed notion of ‘the Jew’.

Arisa is joined by Jonathan C. Kaplan-Wajselbaum, the author of an important academic book which is so rich in sources, Jews in Suits: Men's Dress in Vienna, 1890-1938 (2023) to talk about the dress culture of Jewish men in Vienna.
