This blog will not present modern-day iterations of this "look"; it will be shown in its original context as an American style worn during this specific era. Author commentary will be kept to a minimum.

A good read. I would have placed it at 1962. Interesting. The look hasn't changed much at all, though Brooks Brothers no longer owns it.

Great to see this again. I posted this last year from my old copies, but these scans are much better. LW is right, BB has given up ownership of The Look. Sad indeed.
