Sup /fa/, my grandpa was getting rid of a lot of stuff from his garage.
He was a fashion person around the 60's and 70's.
We found a box that he said wasn't open since the mid 80's
We opened and found many mint condition 70's clothing
>all matching my size
>neat.jpg
He gave me the entire box for being a good grandson's
Now I have all these stuff to try out but don't know where to start.
So you decide /fa/, what should I wear and I'll feature it in the next /waywt/.

Hard to tell about the pants from the lighting, but the one on the right looks like a nice black and white houndstooth, and could be something casual. The other one with blue and black may be harder to pair with, but could be done for spring/early summer.

The black tie below the white glasses is definitely a keeper, and if the one beside it is just a slim black tie (again, can't really tell from the lighting) then that's something you could get a LOT of use from. Depending on the others, they're all kind of whatever.

The Suit jacket on the far right (4th) is really nice, and if roughed up a bit, and leather patches attached to the elbows, it could be a real nice casual daily wear. The 2nd one isn't awful, but it isn't great. And 1st and 3rd are kinda awful. You'd look like a gambler in a Fallout New Vegas casino.

Three things about 70s clothes:

(1) For a while in the 70s, it was impossible to find any slacks that weren't slightly flared. Flared pants were never as popular in the 60s, nor in the 70s among the young, as Hollywood would have you believe, but somehow the people marketing clothes for those who wore jackets & ties thought it was a fashion. The young laughed at it.

(2) The jackets often had comically wide lapels.

(3) The ties were often comically wide.

Wow, nice stuff. I, for one, think that you should get rid of ties 2 and 7. In terms of jackets, 1 and 3 quite hard to pull off, however for Fallout New Vegas cosplay they are perfect. Pants are great, sunglasses are great. If I were you, I would try to go into smth preppy.

Walking around with a blazer as everyday wear looks just as shitty as walking around with the latest streetwear trash. Although you won't look like a grown man trying to emulate the look of a person 10 years younger than you if you'd go with grandpa's clothes.

Looks more 80s than 70s this one. I have some 1970s clothing as well, they tend to be over the top so you have to pick your pieces carefully or else it will look like you are playing in a period piece.

Thank you all for your comments, I just tried out the 3rd blazer today with black dress pants that I have and hung with my friends.
They saw my outfit and were amazed at the way it fit me.
We chilled at a Johnny Rocket and older people, few girls, and a waiter all positively comment on my blazer.
The older gentlemen brought him up his old days and chatted that he has seen those around JCPenny around the late 70's.
Neat.
The girls told me it looks nice on me and that it also looks funky.
The waiter told that I look like a manager for the place, kek.
Love all the comments.

Weirdly good considering you just started trying this out, the rumpling in the blazer gives it a nice laidback casual feel that dressing too sharp won't give, and the slim grenadine tie with the tail just a bit longer than the blade is also spot on, again because it looks no-effort, like you just threw this on and it's what you're used to and comfortable in.

In short, top good.
