Hi,
Welcome to the page, what I hopefully liked to do with this blog is retain all the information I’ve discovered concerning the lives, and loves of different groups of people in mid-20th century America. It’s was not only a time of great upheavals in American society, but is also a very creative time that produced some of my favourite art, music, poetry and fashion.
I like to try and focus in on some of the social issues, as well as geek out heavily on the clothing and music. If you’re into, the 50’s, 60’s, Jazz, Ivy, Gang Life, Civil-Rights, Beats etc. Then hopefully you’ll find the blog interesting.
Happy Reading!

This blog is my bread and butter. It is sorely needed. Keep doing what you’re doing!
Thanks Nick, there are a few people on board now, hopefully we can keep the articles coming, and they are to people’s interest.
Do you have the source of the Advert for Pendleton 49er, and Topster Jacket? Magazine and date ?? Thanks, I am doing research on the 49er jacket.
Unfortunately not to hand… I will try and find out though
I would greatly appreciate that. Thanks. The Pendleton archive has yet to find it.
Apparently it is from the mid-50s to 1957 at the latest. Unfortunately I do not know what magazine it was published in. Sorry I couldn’t be more use
