Now I know where the inspiration for the first season of Mad men came from. I bet those wool suits were hot and itchy!

Don't know bout the Bermuda shorts, but some of the other shit I'd wear!

It's funny though. The basic style of a men's suit has not changed much at all. Except for the late 60'early 70's when bell bottoms were in, later Leisure Suits, large collar shirts, and big shoes in the 70's. Then padded shoulders in the 80's. But still, the basic style has not changed to this day. That 1954 suit could show up at an office meeting today and no one could even tell that it was from 1954.

I love how the music sounds like it's from a Tom & Jerry cartoon. 5 stars for 50's fashion! It proves that men's interest in fashion isn't such a new thing!

Does anyone know who the narrator is?

[vidcat1]

The narrator is Ed Herlihy... he did the narration on most of the 50s & 60s newsreels.
