Vintage clothing is the shit.

[tachosomoza]

Seriously. I dig fedoras, narrow lapel suits, wide collar shirts, suspenders, and Members Only Jackets. www.rustyzipper.com (http://www.rustyzipper.com) has an excellent selection of authentic shit. Anyone else here share my passion for raiding grandpa's wardrobe?

Stuff like this.

I enjoy wearing a suit jacket as well, with a red star on the lapel. It makes me feel like an 'old school communist' somehow, serious as hell. :lol:

On mayday I'm going to wear a complete suit with a white shirt, black tie and all. :cool:

Yeah, the narrow lapel suit, horn rimmed glasses, skinny black tie, fedora and white shirt reminds me of old school revolutionaries like Malcolm X. People knew how to dress back then.

I've got a leather jacket exactly like that Muhammad Ali is wearing in this picture. I wear it with my black Kangol beret as a tribute to the original Black Panthers.

"First as tragedy, then as farce" totally applies here

[gorillafuck]

I thought you meant old, old clothing. like seriously old shit. not the trendy clothing that already takes up all of tumblr.

It's funny how you accidentally wrote the word 'the' in the thread title...

So suit jackets and ties are 'vintage' now, eh? Fascinating...

[Bronco]

Yeah the suits are cool

[Ostrinski]

I need to get myself an overcoat of some kind

[Railyon]

Just ordered a lumberjack shirt to up my already incredible prole creds

the specific cut of the suits and size of the ties is here, yes, though its increasingly becoming the preferred cut today prob cuuz it looks good

[tachosomoza]

Yeah, Mad Men had a lot to with the return of early 60s swag.

This is what happens when you buy all your clothes in charity shops; this kind of stuff is seriously standard fare as far as I'm concerned :lol:

[tachosomoza]

I love thrift stores.

[Rooster]

You assholes should see my wardrobe.

you must be lucky then in my experience thrift shops are full of horrible suits from the 70s and 80s

I like how every worker used to wear the exact same shit back in the days. Not literally but I've seen so many pictures of workers protesting, picketing, etc, and it's just a mass of people wearing the same exact hat and shit. And it's also awesome how everybody used to wear hats, like EVERYBODY:

Not a hatless person to be seen!

I like how nice everyone dressed back then. It's really awesome when you see old men (maybe 70-90 years old) wear the old style clothes from back in the day with the hat, suit, tie and everything.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

of the many privileges of being a man perhaps none is as liberating as our clothes. the fact that we can all wear a normal suit and a tie and look teriffic or tenis shoes, jeans and a t shirt and look pretty good. my ex once told me how great i looked in a plain white t shirt. guys, we have a really good thing going here. and i dont wanna see any of you trendy bourgie self indulgent twats ruin it for all of us by trying to dress different. youre making the rest of us look bad. unformity is good for everybody. dont fuck it up. lest we end up like the womenfolk who torture themselves with hair treatment, make up, perfume, comestics and expensive fancy clothes to look nice.

if this trend applies to our generation, we are all going to look like shit when we are old
