Ad for a new dinner suit by Kuppenheimer in “The Saturday Evening Post,” January 24, 1925. Art by J. C. Leyendecker.
Leyendecker had a highly successful, 25-year-long contract with the men’s clothing manufacturer Kuppenheimer, which began around 1910. His illustrations helped promote an image of suited elegance and sophistication, making Kuppenheimer a well-known brand for men’s fashion. His work for Kuppenheimer, much like his famous “Arrow Collar Man” for Cluett Peabody & Company, became iconic and contributed significantly to the company’s popularity. The company operated independently as a leading manufacturer of men’s clothing until 1982.
