It’s interesting that mens’ suits fashions haven’t changed much in about 80 years.

I think fashions for boys have changed, but I don’t have kids or keep up on children’s clothing fashions.

Professional WordPress nerd. Lover of all things older than me. I am fascinated by early 1900s labor and feminist history, and have a sporadic addiction to reading nonfiction about those things on Archive.org. I scan old photographs and ephemera when I get really super bored. On Etsy I sell vintage clothing that I got as part of an interesting trade deal a few years ago.
