Clothing and fashion experts or anyone good at dating things!!!
« on: July 19, 2009, 12:16:13 AM »
Anyone care to guess about when this photo was taken?  I know there are several people that like older fashions so I thought someone might know. We think he's my mothers Grandfather from Spain who went to Argentina.

My guess is right around the turn of the century - but that's based more on the history of photography (and it's availability) than the clothing. But I'm hardly an expert.

Very dashing fellow!

I'd say early 1910s, just before WWI.  The cut of the coat and the trousers, the high, stiff collar, the single-breast waistcoat and the enthusiastic moustache strike me as late Edwardian.  I'm no expert, either, just a keen amateur  ;D  But here is Wikipedia on 1910s men's fashions.  Very similar, IMO.  Certainly no earlier than maybe 1907, but I think more likely 1912-1914.
