Photos & images of historical male clothing

[Cadoret]

Hi all,

the project has now changed: the filming location is in a museum in Spitalfields (Folgate Street), and it looks like it might have to be set around 1720! Any links to historical stuff any time during this period would be helpful!!!!

Oh, especially hair and wigs  :-)

I hope no-one will mind if I post this, as it's not strictly genealogy-related!

I've been cast in a student short film, and I wanted to get a feel of what middle-class men wore in the early 1900s, particularly re shoes & hairstyles.

Can anyone suggest a good site with photographs, or better still does anyone have photos from around 1905?

Thanks in advance,

Graeme

This should give you something to be going on with:

Thanks for the link, Ruskie, but I'd better hang fire on this one; I just found out last night that the filming location is going to be at Dennis Severs' House in Folgate Street, Spitalfields, so it might have to be re-set in around 1720!

And that's not definite, so I'm not sure exactly which period it'll be set in - but the link is brilliant, Ruskie; thanks v much!

Anyone know how to change the header of a post?

That sounds like a lot of fun Graeme. You could also pop along to the V&A - they've got some nice clothes there
