Though I haven't posted much on here, I have been trolling for a while. After reading Whodini's post on where this forum was going, I thought an inspiration thread would be interesting. A quick search found that one had just been created (a may be a noob to this forum, but not to forums in general). Someday I will get around to posting some waywt pic's, like when the weather is appropriate for outfits of this style. Cuz i'm probably the most preppy/trad person in Bozeman, MT.

Life Magazine...

for real, i wish it was still everywhere. I think our country needs its watered down propaganda... or at least decent photo-journalism.

On a random note, Life's photographic archive is available online through Google Images. Just add "source:life" to the search query.

I almost bought that issue for 2-3 dollars once, wish i had...

I would love to have a big long 2 big long red strips along my bookshelf(LIFE,TIME), along with a yellow one as well (Nat'l Geographic) with each issue from say 44-64 or something crazy.

in that regard I am a packrat who hoards print material to draw inspiration from later.

yeah, but the google archive only has images... no articles, no advertisements. good but not quite the same.

I'm finding myself really attracted to minimalism lately, nothing extreme, mainly the cut and the fabric. Oh, and for some reason, I'm infatuated by the style of the 1950's and 60's g-men :p

I don't really use anything specifically for inspiration, just absorb my surroundings and put them in a mental bag and mix it all up. Then I buy dope ish that is somewhat arcane. I then wear what I feel like wearing depending on the level of g-ness I desire to achieve.
