[Fashion Pin] Era Fashions - 1928 to 1931
One of the things a Model A owner may do is to "dress up" in era clothes when driving to a Model A activity. The growth of this segment of our hobby has been phenomenal and tends to get the whole family involved in Model A'ing.
Both original and reproduction fashions are seen at MAFCA activities. At regional and National meets, fashion judging is a favorite event. Articles on fashions appear regularly in The Restorer magazine.

May 2007: Updated Fashion Information is the first in an on-going series of fashion updates designed to keep era fashion enthusiasts informed of recently discovered fashion information that is not included in the MAFCA Fashion Guidelines.

Anyone interested in submitting new fashion related items not found in the Fashion Guidelines or A Book of Fashion Facts 1928-1931 may send documented pictures and sources to the Era Fashion Committee Chairperson at MAFCA headquarters. The Era Fashion Committee will review the information for accuracy. If it is approved it will be placed on this web site for informational purposes only. If an entrant plans to enter with the items that have been submitted and approved to this web site the entrant must bring documentation that verifies the authenticity of the item worn or carried. The documentation could be a copy of the information posted to the website, or an era publication from 1928-1931.

The first article in the Era Fashion Updates series focuses on era purses. The link to that new series can be reached by clicking on the Era Fashion Updates link above.

February 2007: "MODEL A ERA IMAGE" is a new category for Fashion Judging. You can wear a combination of original, reproduction, or modern garments and items, or all modern garments and items, as long as you have the era "look". Undergarments are not judged.

You can also show off your era treasures in a meet activity called "DISPLAY ONLY". You probably have great fashion related riches locked up in you closet. Get 'em out! You can put together a display for everyone to enjoy.

These new categories are covered in the Fashion Judging Procedure Manual which you'll find in the Era Fashion Judging link above.
