I am having a 50s sock hop for Debbie, because she is turning 50...  I am looking for some 50s clothes for David to wear.  We're having it within days after he gets home.  Little bugger.  Anyway... I'm not coming up with a lot of luck for guys' 50s stuff on Ebay... Anyone have any ideas?

All you need for a guys 50's outfit are dark blue jeans, kinda fitted, not cutting off circulation or anything, but you should be able to tell if he's got something in his back pocket; a white t-shirt, again, fitted with the sleeves rolled a couple of times, white socks and loafers. The ends of his pants should be rolled so you can see the socks, and if he has a leather jacket he should throw that on, but since it's summer it's not necesary. Since his hair's already short from the army have him grow the "bangs" slightly really slightly longer than the rest of his hair (this is called a "butch") and he's done!

Well the 50's weren't really exciting in the menswear department. You could find a leopard print jacket and put black slacks with it like some singer did, I can't remember his name right now, but he hung out with Johnny Cash. Or make him cross dress and stick him in a poodle skirt, that'd be funny.

I do like the poodle skirt idea :)
