I still have my Grandfathers WWII USMC uniform. Of course I don’t fit into it, and wouldn’t wear it anyway, as I never served.
The old sifters with the crank ... I lost mine when we relocated years ago. It was the best.
“Mad Men” was fun to watch just for the clothes and style. Took me back to high school. Now it’s “vintage”. :( Guess I’m vintage.
Even if it’s a documentary, people are dressed well walking the streets of the major cities. Nowadays wearing a long sleeved shirt and dress pants or khakis looks dressy in comparison to the shorts/T-shirt look.
Well said.
Sometimes old films from the 1900-1960 era appear on my Youtube feed. Nice to see folks out in public dressed nicely, with women in dresses or stylish pants, and men in suits and hats. But then I think about how hot it gets here in southeast Texas in the summer.
Speaking of the 1940s, just watched this classic again this morning...
KISS OF DEATH (1947) [Victor Mature, Richard Widmark, Coleen Gray]

I love women’s 40s hairstyles, pretty much the last decade when spending a LOT of time on women’s hair resulted in something better looking than a more au-naturel look. I was rather surprised at how plain Hayley Atwell looks (besides her implants) simply because I first saw her as Peggy Carter in Captain America.
That is one of my favorite Neal Stephenson novels.His Baroque series was remarkable.
They look so nice.
I miss dressing up as I did, even in the 80s.
I am watching Foyle’s War and marveling at the great clothes. I see them recycled through the series.
Love the pre 60s looks
Reminds me of a YouTube married couple. “Lost in the pond”, and “Old Fashioned AF”. He is British and she is American.
I wore a lot of 40’s clothes in the 40’s.
I love the old vintage stuff. I feel like I’m back at Grandma’s house “helping” in the kitchen, where she was a pro. The old tools are comforting in so many ways. Simpler times. Fewer agendas. Whole lotta love.
there was a couple in this area who were featured. They loved the 1700s. They built a 1700s house, with a small area for needed appliances.
When they came home from work they changed into their 1700s clothing and lived the life. Everyday.
They loved it.
I have a number of them too.
Well-built.
I’m afraid to think what would happen to that sailor if modern day feminists existed back then.
Sure, and even earlier...
That good? I picked up the three hardback volumes at a book sale last autumn and they're in my big stack of reads awaiting.
Worth moving to the top of the stack?
