There is a lot of stuff for the male figures, but when you take out the stuff I don't want, very little in what I can actually use.  Not into fantasy, historical or action fiction type things, there goes over half of it.  But even when I see something labeled as a '50's style, sorry Charlie, but I'm a '50's guy.  It wasn't so much the styles, although it was well into the '60's before skirts above the knee were really accepted, it was almost an obsession that everything was neat.  Blue jeans in school were barely acceptable, worn by those you didn't want to hang with, let them hang separately. 

Where I graduated, if you wore a string tie, it wasn't ridiculed, more than half of us did.  No tee shirts in school, you had to have a shirt, a real shirt.  To be "in", the collar was also starched, enough that it didn't fall open and lay on your collar bones.  Loafers, fine.  Oxfords, fine.  athletic shoes were for the gym, not in the school proper.  Dances, other school affairs where appearaance was really seen, you had your suit, white or light colored shirt and a tie.  (Explains why I liked string ties) 

That was Laytonville Calif. in 1959, where only a couple of years before, there had been 27 operating sawmills within a twenty mile radius,  by 63, down to three mills left, now zero.  Really back in the sticks, but even there, there were standards that were unwritten, just kept.  Not much of what's available now in 3d comes close.  Clothing for males is a real problem once you take out what I call junk, YMMV.

The "I" in Doric is Silent.
