Everyone look so damn cool back then.

I guess what feels off to me about people trying to recreate that look today is that it's not authentic, but is worn as a self-aware "hey look how cool i am" outfit. Back then, the working man didn't wear a fedora because it was a fashion show, he wore it because that's what he had to wear, and that's what was expected of him. It was the same guy who today wears jeans and a tshirt.

It would be great if we could all upgrade again though.
I definitely agree with you there.
