Vintage

I love looking at vintage ads. It's pretty refreshing that the style we hope to achieve today, has been in demand for nearly a hundred years.

There are too many styles that come and go. Transient looks that we will scoff at as a society in 10 years and think "What were we doing?" (the 90's comes to mind)

This just screams "educated" 

I invite you to take a look at how it was done back in the day, by means of advertisements and catalog photos I've gathered up. Yes, even then there were some quirks but the standard look for men was a hell of a lot better than it is now (think sweatpants and t-shirts).

Gant, a Swedish company, had it's peak in US popularity in the 1960's. 

He is having a little too much fun with those 4-color cords

Some things don't need to be improved upon

The 3/2 Roll. A 3 button blazer but only the middle button is used. 

Straw boater hat, perfect for the Henley

Seersucker and summer belts

There is a lot going on here...but I approve it. 

This family is straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting...
