1940's bicycle clothing
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. tia, Barry |

You could search for images from American Youth Hostels, e.g. http://www.vintagekidstuff.com/ayh/ayh.html http://openarchives.umb.edu/cdm/sing...l32/id/3/rec/3 or this? https://www.pinterest.com/vintagesan...s-photographs/ although that one seems to show a lot more girls than guys. Wonder why? ;-) -- - Frank Krygowski |

Something like this: https://i.pinimg.com/564x/eb/78/b5/eb78b5ce779b091a56a4f8eb2b1e3832.jpg Turned up cuffs on jeans were common. Horizontal striped shirts were NOT and rarely appear in men's fashions (because it makes one look short and fat). Replace with flannel shirt. Black and white tennis shoes were everywhere. In some parts of the country, wearing a hat outdoors was mandatory. This photo might be closer to the mark. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/0d/23/71/0d2371ae82b3e23b4199ddf45714c4d3.jpg Please note that if you follow advertising drawings, you're likely to be dressed in the manner of someone's illusion of how teenage bicycle riders were expected to dress in the late 1940's, rather than how they actually dressed, as seen in photographs instead of advertising renderings. That's fine because the illusions or stereotypes are often more convincing than reality. How convincing you're going to appear as a teenager will be decided more by your acting abilities than your choice of clothing. Nobody went bicycle riding dressed like these drawings: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/6d/df/ed/6ddfed6681d4fcfc4ddd59e65b5ff1b3.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/70/01/f4/7001f4731c7448ccd3cca2b5c82b7999.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/736x/ac/60/f7/ac60f702d68ad1ff433e36d6f6f4d809--s.jpg (Notice that the kickstands are on the wrong side of the frame). It might be worth browsing through these images: https://www.pinterest.com/jason5266/classic-bicycle-advertising/?lp=true Again, the advertising drawings are the illusion, which is what you want. Don't forget the Bicycle playing card and clothes pin attached to the front fork as a noise maker.

wrote: Turned up cuffs on jeans were common. We rolled up our jeans because they were too long. Don't roll up jeans that are already the correct length. Nothing should be shorter than mid-shin. Exposed knees were indecent. Most pants, particularly children's pants and everyday pants, were too long so that one leg-length could be sold to everybody. The farm-wife magazines urged women to cut off their husband's overalls, and not let them fold up cuffs -- cuffs were dangerous around farm machinery. Cuffs on girl's pants were not a problem -- if we wanted to play on the machinery, we would be wearing play suits. (Matching shirt and shorts made from chicken-feed sacks.) Jeans were for weenie roasts and hikes. The *younger* girls wore play suits. The two older wore bathing suits because they wanted a tan, and traffic on our road increased considerably when one of them was plowing. I can't remember what I wore between play suits and house dresses. We moved to Florida just then, so it was probably jeans for play. Definitely dresses for school. Women's jeans have long been extinct, replaced by "designer jeans" of no use for riding bikes or picking strawberries. Women's bikes were designed to accommodate skirts. When my older sisters got bikes, Dad wouldn't let them get that kind because stuff marketed to women isn't built properly. (This is still true today.) When I grew old enough to ride, my uncle made me a bike out of the good parts of the older girl's bikes. I like to never learned how to ride, because I'm a good deal shorter than them, and it took me longer to grow into it. I'd never heard of bike fit, and assumed that I was a slow learner. -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at comcast dot net http://wlweather.net/PAGEJOY/ -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at comcast dot net http://wlweather.net/PAGEJOY/ |
