TSA! My paper was accepted for a presentation at the Textile Society of America’s Biennial Symposium in October! Excited to be at my first TSA event, albeit virtually. #textilehistory #queerhistory #lgbtqhistory #queerdress #lgbtqdress #hankycode #queerculture #gayculture #lgbtqculture (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CESZj1QhXjN/?igshid=1tx3y5zpuewln

Prior to the hanky code, queer men participated in different types of coded language. Travel books like Vagabond not only provided information on safe spaces throughout the country, but also sold branded jewelry which could be used to communicate queer identity through common knowledge of the publication. From the collection of @leatherarchives during my #researchvisit in 2015. #queerculture #queerdress #lgbtqculture #lgbtqdress #lgbtqidentity #queeridentity #gayculture #queerstudies #lgbtqstudies #hankycode #graduatethesis #mastersthesis (at Leather Archives & Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-YIkY1BcZu/?igshid=1i9phpviorcub

Ahead of @bostonlgbtqhistory ‘s hanky code fundraiser party at Jacques on Sunday, I was asked to write a short article about my favorite #queerdress topic. #lgbtdress #lgbthistory #queerhistory #hankycode #gayhistory #gaydress #knowthecode #dressjournal #fashionhistory #textilehistory #lgbtculture #queerculture #thehistoryproject #queerboston (at The History Project: Documenting LGBTQ Boston) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwuBRrIHfrk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mo6d2n0g7uj5

Early hanky codes, most likely from the 1970s.
