The Museum of Costume in Bath, now renamed the Fashion Museum, has an exhibition called “Pockets of History” which ties in nicely with page 67 of the current issue of Threads.

Katina - I was fortunate enough to go to Bath this Spring and saw the museum and loved every minute of browsing and trying to take in every stitch of the wonderful garments displayed. The city of Bath and this museum are a "must do" if you go to the U.K.

Yes, it's a fabulous place; but even on their website you can see some good stuff.
Last summer we had a chance to spend a few days in New York before taking off for a conference in London. Even my husband enjoyed the display on tailoring at the Fashion Institute of Technology. We were both amazed at how flashy men's suits were in centuries past.
I've just come across this exhibition:
