Anyone have pictures or know of vintage 40's clothing sources?
I'm seeking to assemble outfits to wear when riding and exhibiting my 1946 Schwinn.
Ideally, period era outfits in a style that would have been worn by a teenager, like my father would have when riding his bike in the the immediate post-WWII years.

I'd think any image archive showing kids clothing from that period would
suffice, because I doubt ordinary Americans of that time bought unusual
clothing to do ordinary bike riding.

You could search for images from American Youth Hostels, e.g.

or this?

although that one seems to show a lot more girls than guys. Wonder why? ;-)
