Not sure if these have been posted here before (I ran a search and didn't see anything), but well worth a look regardless. Old color photographs of New York in color. The men all had such style. I imagine a good percentage of the suits were bespoke made by local tailors. Ahhh, the good ol' days. Also notice how little traffic there is on the streets.

Yes, thank you for sharing these, D. The lack of traffic and the high quality of dress (by current practice) are striking.
