Bop, some great stuff, you are on a roll there.
Would that be a Hardoy-Chair in the second last pic? I just wonder why the three guys are prep?
LOOOOOOOOOVE it! What link can I find the Hawaii 65 shots on?
You're some lad, Bop. Thanks.

Those are wonderful. It's like another planet. A better planet.
Nice shot Bop - quite a few people killing it in that one. I especially like the guy in back with his ocbd tucked in and sunglasses on.
The Trouser Technology is very advanced in that picture. Light years ahead of today's offerings.
The last pic is great. I think the guys in suits and girls in dresses are dressed up for something like an exam. I like the combo which the guy in the middle is wearing - dark trousers, lighter coloured jacket. Completely extincted nowadays.
Guy on the stairs has great trousers (Cord?) and is heading to his ballet class, considering the shoes.
The surfer pic is a good example why I liked the Grannis book so much - it shows the "backstage" area - the crowd watching, the path to the beach, the cars..all the background footage.
I really have a faible for those little beach cars like the Citroen Mehari, Mini Moke and VW Beach Buggy - or the red Jeep.
What year is that last photo Bop? I've been having this urge to grow my hair a bit.. something along the lines of that guy on the stairs.

Yes he did. He was standing next to the scooter he said today he's now sold on.
There was another similar shot he took with (perhaps) the same jacket where he had very short hair too. I think he said it was his astronaut haircut. Such a cool dude.
You're absolutely right. I never see that sort of combo on the streets. It's perhaps too bold for the average man today.
Wool - This photo was taken in September 1965 in Central, Omaha, NE, US. (according to the blurb)
Loving this thread, i can spend hours looking at old photos, like the skate one, these, bands, festival of britain - maybe i just don't like working!!!
