Era Fashions are a fun way to “dress up” your involvement in the Model A hobby.

When we speak of fashions there are two camps of interest: 

1. FUN FASHIONS are what we choose to wear as we go out and about in our cars and to events with our club. This is probably how most of us are introduced to the fashions of the Model A era. With Fun Fashions we dress stylistically of the period. We are more concerned with comfort and ease of wear and care of these clothing choices, not whether our outfit is “exactly” correct. You might start with one item as simple as a hat, and eventually add one more item, and then another. Most of our members who enjoy fashions fall into this category.
2. FASHION JUDGING, on the other hand, is a bit more involved. If you choose to go through the rigors of judging, you will want to have researched and studied the fine details of the era, from the top of your head down to the bottom of your shoes. Words often associated with the experience in the judging room are strict, knit-picky, and exact. But what many folks don’t realize, is that as an entrant you are in competition with yourself and how well you have researched the era to put an outfit together. The goal in the judging room is to look exactly as though you have traveled through time from the Model A era.
