Trojan Weave, Kuppenheimer (1927) - J.C. Leyendecker Art Print
Couldn't load pickup availability
Troy fell to a gift. In 1927 Kuppenheimer offered its own, a bolt of Trojan Weaves wool rolled beside a soldier's shin, and J.C. Leyendecker painted the sentry who guards it. Tight coils of spring sack suit cloth waiting to become armor for Jazz Age commuters.
Bone white cloth flares into a scalloped kilt edged in jet. Checkered pteruges swing from his waist, black squares knocking against pale ones in a rhythm borrowed from Deco tile. Silver greaves shine at the knee. A baldric slants to a sheathed sword.
His skin glows with the peach polish that made Leyendecker the Roaring Twenties' favorite painter of men. Behind him a round shield swells in dented pewter. Terracotta drapery wraps his forearm, and the spear rises straight through the lettering to stitch headline to hand.
Few magazine illustrations flirted so openly with classical revival. The caption boasts of a stalwart wonder-woolen built to rebuff the ravages of wear. His stance agrees.
As a retro fashion poster or statement wall art, this Kuppenheimer print keeps watch over any room. This vintage menswear advertisement art print holding Leyendecker's cool ideal of masculine beauty, sold to a nation buying confidence by the yard.
Origin Story
Wall Art Size Guides
Framed Art Prints
1. Vertical
Use the sawtooth hanger at the top middle on the back of the frame and hang it on a single screw or nail.
2. Horizontal
Hang the two sawtooth hangers on two screws or nails at the same heightPut two screws or nails in the wall at the same height, spaced the same distance apart as the two sawtooth hangers, then hang your print on them.
Framed Canvas
1. D-rings (most secure)
Screw a D-ring onto the back of the frame on the left and right, both at the same height. A ruler helps here. Then put two screws in the wall where you want your canvas, level with each other and spaced the same distance apart as the D-rings. A spirit level makes this easier. Finally, hook the D-rings onto the screws.
2. Straight onto screws
Keep it simple: put two screws in the wall at the same height and rest the inner lip at the top of the back of the frame on them.
