Description: Nineteenth-century menswear, in all its stylish glory, takes center stage in the John L. Wehle Art Gallery’s new exhibit, The Sporting Life at Genesee Country Village & Museum. The exhibit combines museum founder Jack Wehle’s stellar collection of sporting art�"four centuries of paintings and bronzes that illustrate hunting and horse racing and driving �"with rare examples of historic clothing that would have made any dapper sport proud. The display will be on exhibit until the end of December. These articles of clothing are rare, not because they were extraordinary, but for exactly the opposite reason: because the clothing exhibited represents the typical garb worn by middle- and upper middle-class men. Unlike wedding, ball and christening gowns, so carefully saved as precious mementos, men’s clothing tended to be used, abused, then worn out and thrown out. Few museums and historical societies have collected 19th-century menswear extensively; however, Alfred Station, NY, collectors, Susan and Bruce Greene have assembled a stunning collection of 19th-century clothing, much of it documented to Western New York.
