My working life, after graduating, was as a manager in the distribution industry. Being in charge carried responsibility and a suit and tie emphasised that. My suits were always conservative, dark and presentable. Every year I bought a couple of new suits in the sales.
In my own time, that's free time away from work, I have always had a love of dance and love of the fashions of the early part of the twentieth century. Both those activities went well together, that's how I came to love the iconic fashions that were worn back in the day.
Let me give you an example. Back in the 1920's Douglas Fairbanks Jnr., was Hollywood Royalty.

Here he is with fellow star, Mary Pickford. What do you think of his shoes? I loved them, got to have those shoes. So many ask, "where did you get your shoes?"
Wide bottom trousers were very popular back then. Here's a picture of a young Marlon Brando wearing such a style.
Had to have those too, fortunately my talented lady had just the pattern.

I won't swamp the thread with long lists, there's lots that I can add later. Not just what's in my wardrobe either. I have vintage phones, a vintage car, an original jukebox and similar technology of yesteryear. Please comment and tell me what you think, I shall add to this thread regularly if members are interested.
