How welcoming of folks like me and @An Acute Style would those shops have been in 1958?True the threat of nuclear war was more present, although it may be catching up.
On the plus side, there were infinitely more purveyors of fine clothing than now,
especiallty Ivy /Trad wear. Fine campus shops abounded in places like Ithaca, NY
where I went to school, let alone New Haven, Cambridge and Princeton.
Yeah I was wondering this myself. In NYC or San Francisco life may have been OK. Other places? Not so much!How welcoming of folks like me and @An Acute Style would those shops have been in 1958?

Re: the navy flannel suit I posted above…
What’s the consensus on the jacket length? Feels like by modern standards, it’s a tad too long, but by classical standards, it’s fine. My gut tells me the length is acceptable and I shouldn’t risk shortening it, but I’m still of two minds. A very good tailor could make it work, but anything less than ‘very good’ and it could be disastrous.
