In 2007, I launched on this site a column called Lets' Bring Back -- which has since celebrated hundreds of forgotten-yet-delightful fashions, pastimes, objects, and personalities.
From zeppelins to sealing wax, from turbans to typewriters, from Auntie Mame to the Ziegfeld Follies, Let's Bring Back has covered a lot of ground. Special editions of the column included a wildly popular Mad Men edition and the crowd-pleasing "Culinary Delectables" edition, among many others.
This week, Let's Bring Back made its official debut as a book -- and in honor of its release, I've compiled some of the most popular items mentioned in the column over the years.
I hope you enjoy revisiting these things, and let us know what you'd like to bring back in the comments section below!

My blue-collar grandfather even had a suit, tie, overcoat and fedora to wear when he and my grandmother would go out. Too often I see denim and ball caps worn out to restaurants. The least a man could do is take off the hat. Average people have very little class left these days. |
