Hey, is that Jude Law in that pic?? I didn't know he was a time traveler. How about Kurt Russell (or his great, great ...) in this one?

When I see pictures of the clothing they wore I always think the same thing. Summers must have been miserable. No shorts, tee-shirts and flip-flops back then.

People were used to being warm and sweating during the summer and cold and shivering during the winter. Of course, all those layers made winters less difficult actually.
I think it's also notable that dept store workers could afford to dress like that back then. Try doing that today, unless the store sells its employees those clothes at cost...which is why it's easier (cheaper) to allow informal clothing.
