Four words to describe the 1920's-1930's black american experience..

Four words to describe the 1920's-1930's black american experience..
thanks guys- 4 letters is the objective..i thought of jazz but hopefully diggin a little deeper might yield that one word i'm searchin for. Guppy- i'm well aware of the past history and obviously i am not seeking out an offensive word..there's plenty of positive words still swirling around so...- 1on1

h-e-l-p. Palm beach linen suit..
funny thing about dressing-the-part, you may start out trying to impress " the neighbors" but if you've done it for many years, then it becomes an extension of your character, it is part of what defines you..so you do it even when no one's watching. -

Mathematicus - Beltbacks from the early 20's ? Are you referring to the European Norfolk suits ? Speaking of 20's, I would love to get my hands on a Jazz jacket..i'm trying to match one up to my 20's knickers. Another 20's item I have seldom seen are the Oxford Bags..only ever did see one chap... -

seen that too..yea right, if he could get those burn marks to disappear then he can quite his day job..he can make a s#@t load just preforming miracles. re:$500, even thats too low nowadays, thats the starting price (assuming its a belt back ofcourse)- good luck with just 5 bills. I really dont... -

I know that geezer..no doubt he has all the bells & whistles (and prices to match)..ive been to his studio where he see's clients by appointment. He's got all the rare gear, 1920's Jazz jackets, lots of linen and other beltbacks. He's on the Gatsby circuit...nice guy. BTW how much do you think... -

Sola fide - thanks for weighing in..i guess you cant thin the Palm beach "heard" any further it seems. What pops up now and then is so random or a top or bottom, then you gotto run amuck trying to match into a suit etc, or the condition is so appauling that its not worth the stress of attempting... -

I'm a very detail obsessed guy,so small details end up being the most important to me..you could wear a 30's suit off the rack, but whats much more tedious/hard to find/harder to accomplish is how one accessorizes in proper period mode. -

There is so much repro/fad driven cheap vintage in NY that I don't think the average (new yorker) Joe knows whats coming or going..ofcourse tthe connoisseur would easily weed out the good from the ugly. -
h-e-l-p. Palm beach linen suit..
in retrospect I've been foolish on a number of occasions..always waiting for the perfect "one"..then one is left holding the empty bag, it finally dawns on you that there's just a finite supply out there. To be fair I do, do 40's/50's as well, that's the stuff I'm decently stocked with.. the... -

One thing about NYC..i did get the odd compliment here and there, but it was in the way of " I like your style" or "that's a cool outfit"..you could tell they had no clue what the look represented..albeit they liked it, but to think these people are living in the biggest most metropolitan most... -

you know I heard of David Owens but I don't thing I made it to his shack..Oh another interesting shop is "the general store", run by a Japanese crew in Dumbo..they do have some sweet gear in there, I actually bumped into a PBL suit but it was not a belt back, just plain..so I passed on it... -

h-e-l-p. Palm beach linen suit..
Here's what few people will tell you (assuming they even know it in the first place) about vintage in NY. The people (pickers/dealers/rag mill operators) are very well informed, in other words, almost nothing slips through their nets, plus the fact that BECAUSE New York is the "contemporary... -
