Vintage Original 35mm Kodachrome Slide: Man in Fedora and Overcoat January 1961
Location: Unspecified residential setting.
Date: January 1961, based on mechanical date imprint on the slide mount; Kodachrome flip-corner mount style is consistent with this period.

Item Description
A middle-aged man poses outdoors in bright sunlight against a brick residential wall with bare climbing vines and a dark iron railing. He wears a dark fedora, horn-rimmed glasses, a gray overcoat, white shirt, and vivid red patterned tie. The close composition and sharply rendered period clothing give the image the character of a formal early-1960s personal portrait.

Key Photographic Elements
The photograph offers a clear record of men’s everyday fashion at the beginning of the 1960s, including the fedora, heavy overcoat, horn-rimmed glasses, and necktie. These details reflect a style of dress and social presentation closely associated with the late 1950s and early 1960s. The warm brick background, winter-bare vines, and direct sunlight provide additional domestic and seasonal context, giving the slide interest for collectors of vintage fashion and mid-century family photography.

Condition Report
The slide retains attractive color, clear facial detail, and strong texture in the man’s clothing and the brickwork behind him. Direct sunlight produces somewhat harsh contrast and causes the subject to squint slightly, while scattered small dust specks and minor edge marks are also visible. There is no severe fading, heavy scratching, or significant blur, and the portrait remains clear and presentable. The original Kodachrome flip-corner mount shows light age-related wear but remains intact..
