Originally Posted By RoadTrip I prefer a look that I consider well tailored, classic and timeless. Jeans, created by Levi Strauss 1850's. Polo Shirt, created by René Lacoste 1929.

Originally Posted By wa6oqc Are my plaid pants, paisley shirt and Nero jacket considered retro? Actually when I grew up during the ‘50s we would wear blue jeans (JC Penney's) or cords (Sears and Robuck or Montgomery Ward) no belt but suspenders, white T-shirt or dress shirt black socks and leather shoes (Tom McAnn). If we were going to Disneyland we would wear our Sunday best. Black or brown leather shoes dark slacks white button-up shirt maybe even a tie and sport coat. E-gads I do dress retro!

Originally Posted By DVC_dad I wear a LOT of my dad's shirts from the late 60's including the one I have on right at this very moment. It's a sort of satan/rayon type shirt that buttons up the front, has a slightly larger than normal (but not huge) collar and is maroon with white stars on it. I even keep my sun glasses in the pocket just like dad used to.

Originally Posted By beamerdog murfsmom, I'm so totally jealous that you have one of the originals. Mine's close, but probably not exactly the same. I was told that the purse was made in Morroco where they cured the leather in urine. I try not to think about that too much. btw, why would they need so many for the film? It's not like she's really wearing it. Just curious.
