The Look, Circa 1900

This dapper barber’s name may have been lost to history, but from the looks of it, his brethren live on in the streets of Williamsburg and Bushwick, Brooklyn, where skinny mustaches, skinny pants, skinny suspenders, and boater hats are again the look of the moment. As for the look of this Edgartown barber shop with its oil paintings and ornate chairs – well, they simply don’t make them like that anywhere anymore.
