Authors: Iain Jackson, Simon Pepper, and Peter Richmond 

Herbert James Rowse (1887–1963) was an extraordinary architect who shaped the city of Liverpool with his array of exquisite buildings, plans, and infrastructure. Practicing in an eclectic manner that was influenced by American Beaux Arts and later using simpler geometries of monumental bare brick, his large body of work reveals a modernity that was concerned with luxurious materials, restrained but contemporary decoration and sculpture, and bold forms often with a sense of theatre and performance. His work has endured passing trends and fashions, retaining a seductive appeal and resonance with visitors and occupants alike, despite its often monumental massing and extraordinary scale.

This book aims to discern not only the architectural merits and advances of his work, but also their wider significance. Through Rowse’s work we gain a glimpse into some of the broader agendas of the time and place, not least through the corporate and banking commissions that accompanied the large docks and shipping firms in Liverpool, where Rowse produced some of his most distinctive work. In addition to these commercial ventures Rowse contributed to the post-war housing debates through his proposals that looked to rows of cottages set around village greens, rather than high-rise living.

Fabrics Great, Size a little Big, Overall Pretty Good
Size: Medium, Color: Dark Navy
This suit was truly great, the size for the pants and the vest were pretty on point, maybe a little long for the pants. The jacket was way too big though compared to the rest. Overall pretty good suit for the price, very surprised at the build quality and faabrics.

Better than expected!
After reading the reviews about it being oversized, I was able to get the right fit that I wanted. It is on the thinner end as far as sweatshirts go, but I tend to run hot so I was quite pleased that I got a long sleeve shirt that didn’t make me sweat. Now, let me tell you about the quality …. For some reason I thought the design was just printed on it, but it’s not! The “jolly” is sewn on, and the stripes don’t look cheaper. I love the red banding at the neck, sleeves and waist. It’s so comfortable, and I got compliments on it all night. I would definitely buy it, or any of their own sweatshirts, again!

Runs big. Fabric is nice. Love the color
It's a nice color of green and feels great. I ordered a medium due to the reviews. It's a larger than a normal medium so it's slightly too small. I usually wear XL and sometimes L. So, it does run big. I returned it but probably will order a L.
