PACHUCOS-1940’s

[@joshargan1601]

What cool fashion those guys had, with their trousers up to the sky! Just awesome!

[@Savadorason1]

-Anybody notice how those cool baggy 1940s & 50s suits, pleated tapered pants, & hairstyles came back in style in the 1980s 90s & early 00s ?

Chicano's always kept it rolling it never stopped

[@SeanLigman-yo6yc]

Ummm... this style in one way or another has informed my wardrobe since my teens in the eighties. I still will choose these shillouets, details, haberdashery...the works...just with a modern twist in fabrics, colors and patterns....,

[@hughestodd]

I’m tired of living in a creatively stunted, retro world. What happened to the innovation that began these movements to begin with?

The scene wear the young "Pachucos"were seated on the ground without their clothing was in front of the then Carmen Theatre located at 718 N. Figueroa. The building still remains today under a different name. This is located in the Bunker Hill neighborhood and was the "flashpoint" of the "Zoot suit" riots of the early 1940s.

That's one attire, that has never faded away. The good ole' letterman jacket. 😀

[@JustBob5150]

The opening scene was on Western Ave in Los Angeles between the 800 block north to the 500 block south.

Tough little guys for sure. They didn’t stand a chance against military guys in LA but they put up a good fight.

Hey, this is great! I'm working on a short documentary about Lowriders with some students. We are a nonprofit that teaches filmmaking in Taos, New Mexico. Wondering where you got all this footage and the photos. I'd love to use some for our documentary. Let me know if this would be possible. Thanks!

Wow

[@johnmanning4339]

I didn't know Al Capone was a Pachuco. He did have the same style, flashy dresser, but bad to the bone.

[@AntonioPerales-bb8pm]

@johnmanning4339 Nothing of the kind whatsoever. You sling labels carelessly. Al Capone was no way a Pachuco anymore than Pachucos were mobsters. Your description is not apt at all about the cultural Other, and you resort to guesswork. Your data base on culture is small, and warped. If you have self respect you will show more respect. Your comment labels you as of the Era of the "Mexican Bandit" stereotype, which continues noticeably. You see us as crooks. Get over yourself.
