A hot haircut for young men today is inspired by a style their great-grandfathers might have worn. Long on the top, cropped short at the sides, the cut was brought back to prominence by Jimmy Dermody, the character played (until his recent untimely demise) by Michael Pitt on ‘Boardwalk Empire.’

In the Image section this weekend, writer Adam Tschorn explains how the retro hairstyle returned to popularity.
