    Hair cuts

    "Taper Fade" hairstyle While many associate what's called the ''taper fade'' hairstyle with modern rap/hip hop culture, I've found that the hairstyle--or at least a hairstyle very similar--goes back to at least the 1910-1930s. Take these three pictoral examples taken in the 1930s--One is of the...

    T-Shirts in the 1930s - 1940s

    How common were T-Shirts? How common in the Golden Era, and even for those who grew up in the golden era (Let's say those between between 1910-1929 or so), was the wearing of just a T-shirt as the top attire, the way we do today? My mother says her father would, most of the time around the...

    I know these glasses weren't from the golden era, but I figured since many of you know good sites to find older items, maybe you could help me find these glasses--My father bought them in 1995 and wore from 1995 until 1998, and it seems the particular style (large and roundish) was popular with...

    How to maintain a classic hairstyle?

    Well, I never met my grandfather--He died in 1975 and I was born in 1990. I do know he had an "ACE" comb, as my uncle has it along with his other possesions.

    How to maintain a classic hairstyle?

    I don't know what this style is called but as you know it was worn by both statesman, actor and your average joe alike until the 60s shaggy/long hair trend began..It's sort of a long on top but slicked back, long sides but slicked to the sides, clean ends and back style. Here's an example--My...

    Colorizing Old Movies

    I know for many this is a no-go, but I want some members' opinions on this--The colorization of black and white films. I personally support it in many cases, as I'm not really a fan of black and white (whether photography or films, b/w looks ''dead'' to me)..But in some films, colorization would...

    Jinx Falkenberg

    On the back of the photo she's labelled as "Barbara Lamarr" Maybe my grandfather got mistaken, or maybe Hedy introduced herself as Barbara--she did take the last name Lamarr in honor of the '20s actress Barbara Lamarr. He sent these photos home to his sister (Many of the photos say in a...

    Jinx Falkenberg

    I wonder if this event or events (as one of my grandpa's pictures says October 1942 on the back, the other November 1942), seeing as there were BIG stars there (LaMarr, Falkenberg, Ritz and maybe others) was captured on film? I mean video.

    Jinx Falkenberg

    Hey Don't know how many of you know of Jinx Falkenburg, but she was a big model and actress during the 30s, 40s and entertained at many a USO event during the war.

    Help finding a hat

    Hey Back when I was a child (and even before I was born), my dad often wore a variety of hats, be they fedoras, berets, straw hats (in the summer) or anything in between. In the '90s my dad became such a fan of hats that we have my sister remarking on a home video at her Sweet Sixteen (in 1996)...

    What kind of shirt is this?

    While not a Golden Era picture, this photo was taken in 1975--It is sadly the last of my grandfather, who died that October. I'm sorry that this isn't a golden era topic but you guys know a lot about vintage fashion--What kind of shirt is this? I ask because I've never seen any sort of dress...
