The 1940s working hipster

[repeatclicks]

I just thought it interesting again how trends creep up seemingly out of nowhere, but can be traced to something from years past. Ive seen any number of kids in both NYC and London who dress like this. Baseball hat with the bill flipped up, wire frame glasses and cardigans.

The only thing missing is the Nike Air Maxs, the Skinny jeans and possibly a scripted tattoo on the neck. Unreal!

Small point - that's not a ball cap. It's a railroad engineer cap.

Vintage sweaters are the greatest. The cuffs don't get all stretched out easily. They are cut and assembled to FIT rather than hang like big formless bags as many of today's sweaters do.
