    Hair cuts

    I brought a similar Johnny Depp Public Enemies picture to my barber and it really does help! It's a rather hard haircut to describe which is why I think most modern barbers cut the hair too short.

    Halloween Costumes

    One of my favorites too! My friends and I had been planning this theme for a while. We're all animators, and it was about time we dressed like cartoons characters for Halloween! Your avatar happens to be from my favorite Daffy cartoon by the way! We couldn't find one in time, or a purple...

    Post '30s belt-back jackets and suits

    I made a perosnal discovery regarding the belted back sport coats. Upon watching the 1924 Keaton film "The Navigator" I realized that the '60s belted backs might actually have been more inspired by the sporty early '20s style sportcoats. In the film Keaton is wearing a tweed, two button belted...

    Thanks! I would actually love to teach animation at my college someday, but right now I'm in my theisis year.

    What are you wearing today??

    What I wore to my Career Strategies class last night. It finally got cool enough for me to finally break out my '50s overcoat. The buttons were replaced sometime between now and then.

    Show us your suits

    I'm sure to most this would pass for a '40s look, but it definitly says '80s to me. It's low medium width lapels and boxy cut are the giveaway. Late '40s early '50s double breasted jacket/suits aren't impossible to find and are normally much more affordable than pre-1948 suits and jackets.

    Halloween Costumes

    My friends and I are planning to go to our College Halloween party as "The Dover Boys" from the Chuck Jones cartoon of the same name. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYnSRGbz1cY

    Show us your suits

    It's the fitted single breasted high peak lapel look that says late '20s/'30s to me. I've seen the double button thing as late as 1955, in the movie "Guys and Dolls".

    Those are called Monk Fish, you can find them living in the North Atlantic. Probably one of the ugliest fish I've ever seen. My grandma says they're delicious though.

    Coming this fall: ABC's "Pan Am" -- "Mad Men" in the skies?

    I couldn't sit through the whole thing when the show premeired. So many inaccuracies and over acting. Seriously, since when does a Kennedy era pilot have long sideburns. They're trying too hard to be the next Mad Men, and as a result the show feels like a 1970's does the 1950's type show, just...

    Cut and style say late '20s early '30s to me. I notice it has that interesting double button as well.

    BOARDWALK EMPIRE (HBO) - Everything you wanted to bootleg about the Show!

    An excellent start to a new season. Nucky's suit in this episode was quite interesting, I've never seen one of that style in that era before.

    That suit is a real beauty! Excellent find!

    What are you wearing today??

    With the Fall weather finally starting to settle here in New York, I finally got to wear my circa 1959 tweed casual jacket and '50s Lee Fedora.

    Broad shoulders, fit and lapel style definitley say late '30s. Nice suit by the way!

    What do you like the most about The Golden Era?

    I pretty much have the same opinion as most other loungers, clothes, cars, music, movies, etc. But another main thing about the Golden Era that hasn't been mentioned on this thread is animation. Animated cartoons were once also works of art, created by people with a vision for storytelling. The...

    Vintage Reproduction Sports Coats

    Yes! I tried on their newsboy cap and was quite impressed! They make their caps so that they have structure when you put them on, so they keep their roundness. They even make their ivy/flat caps the proper wider shape too. They're a little too pricey for me though.

    100 years in 100 seconds

    Costumes seem pretty accurate. Excellent video. Really show's how the styles declined after the early 1960's.
