As a menswear designer I have files upon files of "tears", images I have torn out of magazines, books, photographs etc over the years to serve as inspiration for a later date. I often don't know exactly what it is about the image that speaks to me at the time. Later though they are a constant reference point when starting a project. I go into the files with a concept in mind and pull every image that is relevant for consideration and inspiration. Often completely altering the concept once I start digging and the inspiration strikes. The problem with this imagery is it is often well known imagery, either of a celebrity or style icon. Leading me to be inspired by the same images as my competitors even if our takeaways are different.
Recently my dad has been scanning all of my grandfathers photo slides to digital. It has been a treasure trove of menswear inspiration. I thought I would start a thread to share these never before seen images so we could all get inspiration from something "new"/old. If you have an awesome pic of your grandfather in an original pilot jacket, your second uncle on safari in the 70s, so on and so on please feel free to share.
Maybe this type of thread already exists, if so please let me know and I will just participate in that thread instead.
Please no well known images, celebrities, or style icons. Just photos of friends or family.
