Men's Hats This page is general information found in books and the internet referencing men's clothing. Most of the books and sites visited were discussing vintage clothing for all kinds of reason except photo dating. We searched through sites about dress-making, costuming, reenacting, museums and historic personality and fashion eras. Our idea is to just collection the information that will be useful in determining when a photo was taken. We thought it would be easiest to put this information in table form and realized it was too complex. So just arranging photos by decade to start would be best.
