Men in Eden: William Drummond Stewart and Same-Sex Desire in the Rocky Mountain Fur TradeThe American West of the nineteenth century was a world of freedom and adventure for men of every stripe not least also those who admired and desired other men. Among these sojourners was William Drummond Stewart, a flamboyant Scottish nobleman who found in American culture of the 1830s and 1840s a cultural milieu of openness in which men could pursue same sex relationships.

The American West of the nineteenth century was a world of freedom and adventure for men of every stripe--not least also those who admired and desired other men. Among these sojourners was William Drummond Stewart, a flamboyant Scottish nobleman who found in American culture of the 1830s and 1840s a cultural milieu of openness in which men could pursue same-sex relationships. This book traces Stewart's travels from his arrival in America in 1832 to his return to Murthly Castle in Perthshire, Scotland, with his French Canadian-Cree Indian companion, Antoine Clement, one of the most skilled hunters in the Rockies. Benemann chronicles Stewart's friendships with such notables as Kit Carson, William Sublette, Marcus Whitman, and Jim Bridger. He describes the wild Renaissance-costume party held by Stewart and Clement upon their return to America--a journey that ended in scandal. Through Stewart's letters and novels, Benemann shows that Stewart was one of many men drawn to the sexual freedom offered by the West. His book provides a tantalizing new perspective on the Rocky Mountain fur trade and the role of homosexuality in shaping the American West.Binding Type: Paperback

Boys’ Formal Tuxedo Suit
I’m very satisfied with the Boys’ Formal Tuxedo Suit! The suit looked exactly like the pictures, the material feels nice, and it fit my boy perfectly. Delivery was on time and the packaging was good. Great quality for the price!

Great value and quality, runs slightly small.
This is a great deal and fit perfectly! My kid is more of a size 10 but I ordered size 12. It's only slightly big in the waist but the pants have elastic adjusters so we were able to make it work. It's great quality! We ordered yellow for a school play but I plan to order other colors because my kid feels like a million bucks in his new suit.

A great option for those looking to save some money!
Color: Black, Size: X-Large, Color: Black, Size: X-Large
Last May I got married in Alaska on a glacier. I wanted a suit/tux that would not only look halfway decent, but one that I could expose to the elements and not feel too bad about ruining. Luckily, nothing was ruined and it ended up looking great! The fit overall was relatively true to size with the jacket being a hair too narrow for shoulders. The material was surprisingly very comfortable and well made. I have a longer torso and the jacket was the perfect length as well. I've never been one to go all out spending a ton of money buying or renting a suit or tuxedo, so this was genuinely a lifesaver at the time. If you're in a pinch and need something nice to wear, or just looking to save some money, you won't be disappointed.

My Husband Gets SOOOO Many Compliments
Color: Royal Blue, Size: X-Small
My husband has a closet full of suits. I try to make sure he has 7 suits available to wear, so when his blue one started looking bad, I started looking for a new one, but with inflation money has been tight lately. I saw the price and the reviews on this one and thought, why not take a chance. Wow! I'm so glad I did. He loves it and he looks great. Every single time he wears it, people are like, where did you get that? That's a nice suit, and these are people who where suits (and their wives who know suits). The next time we need to replace a suit, I'm coming right back.
He loves wearing it because he is always very comfortable and so far, it hasn't shown any signs of wear.
The material is on the thinner side, but thicker than linen, and keeps its shape nicely. When we first got it, I steamed it, and I haven't needed to iron or steam it since, but he does keep it hing up when he isn't wearing it.
Tip: use the size guide. I was very hesitant to buy a size as small as it was saying for my husband, but it was right on point. It is an absolutely perfect fit.
