Well, from a tailor's point of view vintage is a term that is used waaaay to easily.
This is just the technical aspect though.

2 things; the way it is constructed. Pattern, fit down to the way it is sewn.
And you'll never get it to fit properly. Peoples bodies just are different.

So when it comes down to it. After WWII ? Not a lot of true " vintage" left.

And who the heck wants to look like MC Hammer anyways?

Oooops I was supposed to keep my neurosis to myself. Sorry.

Today begins the official wearing of my 1942 Rose Bowl lid from Mike at NW Hats. The university is celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the 1942 Rose Bowl (which Oregon State won, beating Duke). I'll be sporting a vintage 40s Pilgrim tie and my A-2. Today's activities involve me being on a panel discussing the history on a local sports radio show, "the Joe Beaver Show" and attending a lecture by the author of a book about the game. I did the research from the OSU archives for his work. The hat is specifically styled to match an image from the 1942 Beaver Yearbook.

Tomorrow is the Homecoming game and I'll be talking Beaver History in the "Men of the Roses" display tent.

Beautiful hat and tie, you're sure to look the part.

Whippet again. Sorry guys it's my only hat

I'm sure that will soon change, nice whippet by the way.

Hey folks!
Another wet, gray day. This ca.1950 Stetson 3XBQ Mode Edge long nap finish, aka the Fuzzy Bunny should keep me covered.

Have a great day!

Thanks Jackm! I think you are right

Not so ridiculous. I said "soon" these eras will be considered vintage -- which is sort of inescapable. As decades go by, previous decades will be considered antique, no?

EDIT: Just to parse terms a bit more. From Merriam Webster -- vintage: "used to describe something that is not new but that is valued because of its good condition, attractive design, etc." It's this aspect of the term to which I was referring. Its meaning definitely implies social convention since "attractive design" is preferential and "not new" is relative. Along these lines, it actually wouldn't be out of place to call a 1980's garment "vintage" even now, especially, as Moon said earlier, if it is given the additional modifier of the era to which it is vintage.

What a load of nice hats here today. And that is just the ones I got to look at before I went out this morning. Now I'll have to catch up on the rest. Yum.
