what did they wear back in the day?

[blm14]

yo blm14, i didn't know bobby hutcherson was so hip back in the day. he dresses much more conservative now.

i never thought of freddie hubbard as a dope dresser, to be honest. kinda regular jazz fare...

I kind of like that more old-school simple dressy style for jazz guys. Once you reach miles david after about 68 it goes overboard.

I have this one LP of hubbard's (cant for the life of me remember the name right now) where hubbard is sitting on a lip-shaped bright red couch and wearing a white suit and a white cap and he looks so pimp.

I'd like to nominate the pic of Steve Mc Queen on page 86 from Paul's book. I find that such an awesome and fun picture and fit.

And while everybody is now going to have a look in Paul's book anyway, I'd also like to call the Dorothea Lange pic of One Eye Charlie on page 25.

co signt on One Eye Charlie!

Theres also a great pic of elvis on page 86, and the cowboy on 57.

And those lumberjacks on page 21 are awsome (blonde guy is the definiton of swagger)... surprisingly modern fit on the denim, or maybe 47 style. So many great WDTWTs.

Great thread btw...

[cheep]

not the best pic....

[Sayword]

This is impossible but dope. The Steez and swagger these guys had in this film, uncanny

I thought early on, every so often, Stevie Wonder would look really cool (aviators and turtleneck combo):
