Re: Tradmen
Very jolly pics - Thanks!
Trad to us today looking back, if we choose to use that term, but to them back in '35 all this was new or new-ish. The Weejun was still to be invented the year after these shots were taken along with the Bean Camp Moc.
The style we're seeing here is a definite move on from the 20's manifestation of the look and so not retro or backward looking for them at all. It IS a part of an ongoing tradition, but I'd suggest that it was the 'ongoing' part of that term that was their focus, not the 'tradition' part.
No whistful yearning for the past here, but people of their place and time rooted in 'being there'.
IMO.
What do others think?

Re: Tradmen
Interesting photos, about the time when it was still truly an Ivy League style. Only in the 1950s did it become a mass-market style.
If you have more photos please post them.
This sort of "real people" photos are priceless.
