Hi everyone,
My name's Jon and I'm 18 years old. I've always been fascinated by the old styles and attire of the 30's and 40's. Fedoras and Ivy caps have also been a huge interest to me also. After I found this board, I decided that I wanted to try to start wearing this type of clothing/hats, or at least have one outfit, not necessarily a whole wardrobe.
OK so my questions:
1. Where does everyone buy their clothing? I've seen some VERY sharp attire from member posts, but I haven't seen many references for where to purchase clothing like this. My first guess is an actual tailor or suit shop?
2. What are some basic names for all the different clothing? As you may have noticed, I've been fairly vague with what I'm talking about, as I'm not sure what to refer to everything as. Suit, pants, and coat seems more specific, but also vague. Additionally, what are some popular brands?
3. What are the price(s) or price ranges for different articles of clothing for the 30's and 40's style of clothes? Like I said, I'm 18, so I don't have tons of money to spend.
4. As I mentioned earlier, I'm very interested in fedoras. But with the lack of proper attire to wear one...I wanted to know if there are any more modern looks/attire/outfits that can be worn along with a fedora?
That's basically all I wanted to know for now...let me know if I'm being too vague with my questions though. Thanks!
