Those Photographs of Mr Gable look almost 'Bed Head' would a chap be told to go to the mens room and comb his hair?
The Kollege Kut (1956)
one of the first things i noticed about Boardwalk Empire's costume/styling was that Jimmy Darmody's hairstyle looked too modern. it was just about believable in the first (pilot) episode, then the undercut got more severe which made the long hair on top hang over it in a distinctly 1980s 'edgy' new-wave sort of way. i like the cut, but it's not a 1920s accurate cut.

I hear ya, HBK. But the same discussion came up on the Waldorf Barbershop [URL="https://www.facebook.com/Waldorf.Barbershop"]page[/URL] - and this comment is relevant to address your onjection:

Waldorf Barbershop ... there is a touch of 90s to it. I think the difference is the pscychobilly or neo-punk influenced cuts in the 90s had just the front bangs / fringe left long. The Darmody cut is long all the way to the back of the crown of the head.

sorry HadleyH, it's not the same cut. the Fairbanks has a more gradual fade and less long top.
nit-picky i know, but when it comes to men's style there's no such thing as too nit-picky, because we have such a reduced amount of options of dress and hairstyle (compared to ladies) the differences make all the difference.
Mine looks basically like this
Well does it grow long like this, lol. LBJ embrassed his later years with a ponytail:
Then lets vote, shall we? we ask to all of the gentlemen (and ladies if they wish) here to express their opinion .... are the two haircuts almost identical? Yes or no. ( between Fairbanks and JD)
