killer jaw lines
Great colors, great fashion and beautifully candid.
Well off. The depression had not yet ended and WW2 not yet begun. This was a time in between earth shattering events in this country. In 1938 there were still a lot of people who could not afford a meal.
Great style.
Think about how expensive those clothes would be today .. 4 grand between the two
man looks great, different times to compare to current times. That was their ‘street wear’….ours is diff. But supper dapper, respect.
Very dapper
those wide peak lapels are tight
He’s about to team up with Newt Scamander to battle Grindelwald.
No fast food in sight
Pollution prob low
Absolutely gorgeous
Back when clothes are durable and better quality
Disappointed…. Not a single Batman’s parents out on the town joke.
That would be the perfect era to go back to. Fashion was at its best, and New York just was learning how to cope with becoming the melting pot of civilization. Though the 60’s and 70’s brought a lot of culture there, it would have been beautiful to go back in time there for a day.
Your grandpa looks like he was a part of the Peaky Blinders
Everyone dressed so fashionably in public back then! Suits and ties and fedoras, and pretty dresses.

I was not prepared for the massive amount of drip
Aesthetic standards were much higher then. People looked amazing even if they only had one pair of shoes, one suit and two shirts. And they actually made a huge effort if they were going anywhere….even just a trip to the store was worth getting styled up for. Constant daytime tv and consumerism killed all of this
Rockin the zuit suit!
Handsome couple but they’re wearing very normal for the time, blue collar class clothes
The days when people dressed for success
Looks a little like Tom Hiddleston
I think back in the day everyone dressed better than today.
You mean before everyone dressed like slobs.
That’s what the old people used to tell me when I was a kid
They do. You know I’m happy everybody’s wearing what they want but you have to kind of admit just a little bit of a part of you kind of misses when people cared about how they looked when they went out. I’m a millennial, but I know that this way of thinking is archaic. But I still can’t help but feel the way I feel. Everybody was in suits or at least dressed very nicely. These days I can’t take 20 steps down the street without seeing the outline of some dudes dick or someone’s fat ass falling out of pajamas.
I’m fully prepared for a mass down voting but I’ve got karma to burn. The older generation has gotten a lot wrong, don’t get me wrong.
Looking like movie stars
People used to dress so nice. Probably wasn’t very comfortable but sure looks amazing in old photos.
