Great vintage photo from the ‘Golden Age of Air Travel’ in the early 1960s.  Back when stewardesses and pilots were somewhat of a “celebrity” status occupation.

One of the stylist/youth movements that has influenced the Thick as Thieves aesthetic is the mid 1960s French youth movement, “Les Minets”.   In many ways this was the French youth version of English Modernists.  Highly obsessed with style and looking clean cut at all times, this short lived and not often spoken about youth group has definitely contributed to the style lexicon.

The iconic 60s French actor, Alain Delon, who’s film “Le Samourai” was a huge sartorial inspiration for many.  This striking blue-ish-grey coat is definitely something to behold.

Fantastic photo taken in the late 1960s of British working class kids.  Although we look at this as a “subculture” look nowadays, back then this was the mainstream look for those who wanted to be “in crowd”.

Very hep pic from Provence, France in the 60s.  Great juxtoposition of youth/vigor, and experience/twilight years.  They both look like they’re very happy with where they are at in life.
