1930s men’s reproduction clothing and vintage inspired 30s clothes can be hard to find. The 1930s are a niche decade for classic men’s tailoring as well as swing dancers around the world. Who doesn’t love the 1930s wide leg pants that make dancing the Balboa even more fun?
Trending now is men’s 1930s vintage workwear and casual clothes from sporty plus four knickers to denim chore jackets, blue jeans and flat caps. Some men’s clothing brands have taken the old time look of the 1930s and updated it with a modern fit for that everyday vintage swagger.
I put together this list of men’s 1930s reproduction clothing brands and new 1930s inspired men’s clothes, shoes and sewing patterns to help you relive the 1930s.
