Vintage Pretty Gritty! Lots of Halloween parties and events this weekend. These guys might inspire costume ideas:

Jazz trumpet player and orchestra leader Clyde McCoy with trumpet and sousaphone player, Louisville, KY. Clyde attended Louisville Male High School. Here he poses with his trumpet while wearing a plaid baseball uniform (over a shirt and tie) and baseball glove. Another man, unidentified, plays Sousaphone while wearing the catcher’s costume.

Have fun!

Vintage Pretty Gritty Day!

Boys playing baseball on S. 1st Street, 1922.

From the caption: “The boys mostly wear knee-length pants with thick stockings, sweaters, and caps. Their shoes are lace-ups, which are likely made of leather.” UofL Photo Archives.

I’m sure these boys couldn’t wait for some warmer spring days, much like us! Have a great weekend.
