Any questions you have, I would be honored to do what I can to help. I have a great interest in vintage style haircuts as well, and I am trying to find more photos, articles etc as well. I plan on more or less specializing on the traditional and vintage aspects of barbering. The article you are referencing from is fairly accurate, maybe a little out of date, but has most of the basics. If you have any questions or want feedback or input, like I said I would be honored to help. I like your article on the period foods. I used to re-enact mountainman rendezvous and black powder shoot when I was a kid. I understand your passion!

I will be sure to collect on that. Thanks for your help

The concept of long thug gym shorts wasn't around until recent gangsta times.

One of the only GOOD things to come out of the "gangsta" look, longer shorts... for men.

Sproily, I think your hair's pretty killer looking. Do you have any side/back views, I'd be interested in seeing them.

Real nice style and cut! I like the sweater vest and tie, I wear that 30's sporty look all winter long.

This looks like an Arrow collar advertisement, but with slightly less sharp facial features.

here's my hair style.

I didn't see this question raised in the thread, so I apologize if I'm redundant: How do you get the top to wave like that. I've been thinking about trying it, but I don't know how?

It's from a 30's finnish catalog. Some really great shots in that one.

Just check her out! It's from the same catalog.

Hey, Thanks! I don't have any handy, but I'll take some next time.

They don't look half as nice normally though

You have to have wavy or curly hair, that's how I have mine. Do you have straight hair?

Did anyone notice those cuffs? The have a "v" shape where the button is!

You'd have to have naturally wavy hair in the first place -- unless you're willing to use an electrical device to give yourself an artificial wave. Seth Shulman (whose photo you showed) is very wavy-haired. So was James Cagney.

I have wavy hair but can't seem to get that sort of marcel... :eusa_doh:

I believe that Seth uses a thick pomade to "train" his wavy hair into that marcel.

Alot of 50s shirts have this as well. Ive got about 4-5.

That's pretty cool!

A thick pomade turns my curly hair into poofy straight hair; I think a light pomade with hold that doesn't turn the hair straight (RC, for example) is what would work.

Thought you all would enjoy this: a 1953 scanned in book of Barbering (yes, the hair cut photos start around page 145).

Enjoy!
