Fun Fact: Another reason why dudes in the 50’s would buckle their belts to the left side is if they were in a band, particularly a rockabilly band, the buckle would be out of the way from scratching the back of their instruments. I adopt this every time I do Million Dollar Quartet and Buddy: the Buddy Holly Story.
@@modernvintagelifestyles So the first question that came up is do you have any videos where you feature flat-front chinos instead of pleated pants? It's less dressy but also more forgiving for fat guys and old guys.
What’s the first song’s title and band? Just discovered your channel and it’s literally the kind of channel I’ve been searching for and wanting for years now! So many vintage women’s fashion videos but NONE for men’s vintage fashion! Please upload some new videos soon brother!!! 👍🏻
Is buckling on the side only appropriate for skinny belts? Because I have a vintage looking one but it's not skinny, and I'm wondering if I should buckle it that way.
Hey there, It's appropriate with any belt size and any buckle. If you look at old East Side Kids movies, you'll see the teens there would wear even a rope as a belt and even the knot was to the side.
Don't Blame Me - Earl Bostic. I think you can only find that song on record, which is where I got it from to use in the video. Earl Bostic is the best!
Hey there. Most of the vintage clothes are now in vintage shops, but you can still find vintage at flea markets. That's here in Southern California though. Online, eBay and etsy have lots of vintage, but usually for very high prices.
@@tipofan4life439 well, if you look for a solid print gab shirt, you're looking anywhere from $40-100 in excellent condition. If you don't mind a hole or a stitch here and there (like me), then you can find it cheaper. Some slacks, plain color (blue, brown, Grey) should run about $30-50.
@@tipofan4life439 if you can't find vintage slacks with the dropped belt loops, then a pair of pleated slacks, cuffed with a classic fit should do. However, even that may be difficult to find these days with all the modern skinny, slim fit variants. Try the thrift stores too!
can you do a video or suggest some repro vendors that sell to US customers? there isnt shit in the US...and vintage stores in colorado are few and far between.

That's true. Or so they wouldn't scratch their cars when leaning over the side of the hood.
I just found this channel. I wish there was more and newer updates. This is PRICELESS!

@@modernvintagelifestyles Now that I think about it, that is very true. The coverage is pretty comprehensive. Thanks for all of the awesome work!!
