We've stocked Avant from the start and are of course massive fans of what Eric brings to the world of print and the stories of old clothing. This is a special and personal dive in to his own collection.
"
Eric Maggiori has spent years acquiring pieces most collectors will never see in person. Volume II puts that knowledge directly in your hands not as a coffee table object, but as a working reference.
And when the page isn't enough, you scan the QR code and hear Eric explain it himself. Over two hours of that, included.
Inside you'll discover
American Workwear: Understand why certain pieces are worth 10x what the market thinks, from the Gold Rush to the mid-20th century
European Workwear: The undervalued category. Get ahead before everyone else catches on
American Militaria: Fatigue uniforms, flight jackets, field gear. Authenticate pieces most experts miss.
J.L. Stifel & Sons: The rarest textiles in the archive. The knowledge most dealers get wrong
Vintage Tees & Sports Memorabilia: The most personal part of the archive which is also the most unpredictable one.
The QR Experience
Every garment is paired with a QR code linking to a short film presented by Eric himself, in front of the piece, explaining what it is, where it came from, and what most people miss.
Over two hours of exclusive content. Embedded throughout 260 pages.
Part book. Part documentary. The kind of object you study, reference, and pass down."
