Abstract: The article focuses on the trend in old-time fashion in the U.S. in 2009. It mentions the reemergence of Pendleton, the brand that offers plaid-wool shirts preferred by the performer Beach Boys. Three-piece glen plaid suits, sweater vests and trim tuxedos will be included in the spring collection of menswear designer Michael Bastian. According to designer Ralph Lauren, his spring collection was inspired by the character of the worker, farmer, cowboy and pioneer women.
