50's/60's Black/Blue - ga tech campus




This is a very cool example of current fashions repeating styles of the past. The "latest" looks for men involve slimmer ties, collars, lapels and pants. The trousers are trim flat front, tapered and without a break. Jackets are more fitted and being shown in shorter lengths. Many of latest fabrics from Europe are sharkskin-likemetallics. Check out Thom Browne's latest designs fof Brooks Brothers' "Black Label" line and see what I mean.

All of the above were typical of the styles of the late 50's and early 60's. If I were a young man of fashion and on a limited budget, I would get me to a knowledgable vintage clothier. Fortunately, you've already found me so you're half way home!

The irridescent "sharkskin" suits of the 50's/60's have become iconic, reminescent of Frank, Dino and the "Rat Pack"  who wore them. They and the suits were the height of cool.

The Rat Pack's suits were generally custom-made by Jerry Lewis' Hollywood tailor, Sy Devore.  Sy did Jerry's amazing wardrobes in "The Nutty Professor" and "Cinderfella".  Sy also made Jerry's personal wordrobe until he (Sy) passed. By the way Jerry went through alot of tailored clothing because he was allergic to cleaning fluid!

In my experience, the sharkskin suits and jackets one generally finds are low-end knock-offs of the Rat Pack's stuff  but the suits and coats I'm currently listing  are of a quality that they could have been owned by wealthy celebrities.
