*I will edit and add to this later later to describe the events leading up to the current fashions of 1929 and why political events influenced the fashions of the era.

I posted these items in their own tread due to the large pictures. I left the images large so you can read the text if desired. Expand your computer screen to full view if necessary to see the entire image.

*******************
Here are some fashion ads from 1929 for men. If you want more visuals, just ask, and I can post more items from my husband's collection. Unfortunately, most of it I sold off but he does still have a few items I can post - mostly men's accessories and a couple pieces of clothing. I can pull from his collection as time permits so you can see what items really looked like.

Why don't men's dress shoe styles ever change?

Two - seam legs for extra fulness and what about 'for the stout man'?

Men's hats! Baseball caps and toques aside, I have one male friend who wears chapeaux and everyone finds him quaint.

My husband wears (non-baseball) hats and no one finds him quaint (at least, if they do, they don't tell me about it!)

Isn't it a great pity that not many people wear hats nowadays. They do so complete the 'look' of even a work-a-day outfit!

mine too, avid. He has a beret, a variety of ski toques (they count as hats in Canada) and several flat caps for winter; a wonderful Biltmore fedora for summer.

I can't quite imagine Mark in a beret, but he does have a Crusher, a fedora, a great straw cowboy hat for summer, a variety of baseball caps and a truly dreadful knitted watch cap (I call it his serial killer hat.) He wore a a top hat at our wedding and looked really fine. He used to have a fishing hat, too (he called it his dork hat) but I think that has been passed down to my son, who looks less dorky in it.

Suddenly, I felt the need to add the fact that he still has all his hair -- he just likes hats.
