  1. Great image of a very handsome man! I love seeing chest hair in vintage photos. I confess I have a weakness for the "bear" type!

    1. I have a fondness for the ursine myself. Chest hair in vintage photos was sometimes "blanched" out by the harsh flash technology of the time.

  2. Perhaps it took an extra-luxuriant "rug" to show up with the vintage flash photography.

    1. Yes, that's true overall, but there were exceptions, particularly when the photographer got the lighting just right.
