Men Wearing Polyester - 70's Fashion

The year is 1975. You're flipping the pages of the heavy big book weighing on your lap. The Sears Catalog. Yes, sir. This dream book of consumer merchandise had its place in the majority of homes in the USA. 

Sears Best brand men's polyester ensembles pictured on the page above were your typical sporty casual outfit. Men in the 70's found that polyester was the predominate fabric in off the rack fashion. If you weren't wearing jeans, you were probably wearing polyester. And, why not. It was wrinkle free without ironing, stains were easy to remove and it stretched as you moved. You're an action man. 

Mens polyester pants, shirts and jackets were worn snug back in the seventies. The Sears catalog offered a visual representation color coordination of mens outfits right down to the belt. Your grand daddy had it going on, man.

We've had Sears Best brand mens vintage clothing from the 1970's at DressThatMan.com over the years. There's a good chance we'll have it again!


In 1992, Internet access was available to the general public - in 1993, Sears stopped printing the big catalogs.

How do you know it's vintage?

Chicago "House of Duro" Mens Custom Tailored Suit from 1974

When it comes to vintage clothing, we are often asked "How do you know it's vintage?"

That question isn't so easily answered since so much of the time it comes down to years of experience and the resulting accumulation of knowledge. The feel of a particular fabric, the cut of a suit, construction details, manufacturers labels and tags, fashion research - yes, all of these things may yield some clues. Yet there is nothing as glaringly obvious as an article of vintage clothing that is dated - and that is something that sings joyfully to even the most seasoned vintage clothing mavens.

We have found this to be true of some mens vintage suits. Especially the suits that were specifically constructed to measure for a man by a custom tailor. They often had a place on their tags for a name and a date, and we've occasionally come across a cotton pocket inside the suit pants which was stamp dated. It pays to thoroughly search vintage clothing items for clues because you might get lucky!

The suit in the photo above was constructed at the famed Chicago "House of Duro" - operated by Carmen Duro which catered to Chicago's elite. Mr Duro tailored clothing for Liberace, Mohammad Ali, Paul Harvey and more. He never sketched his designs, his ideas were translated directly to patterns, graded sizes and into finished garments. Now that's true fashion artistry.

Tailor Carmen Duro's concern, according to an article written on June 23rd, 1975 in the Sarasota Herald-Tribune was, "not one of fashions but, of lifestyles" he was "concerned that young people were not interested in trades - particularly his trade."


We hear that. There is nothing like the art of an experienced tailor and a mans custom made suit. We'd love to see more tailors setting up shop in the United States. A throwback to the domestic garment industry and the good old days.

...

The grand daughter of the late Carmen Duro has a website that promotes vintage clothing sites as well as indie and mod clothes. Check it out here!

Mens Vintage Clothing: Mens Style 1979

In the fall of 1979, men were styling some fashionable looks when it came to suits. Tweeds and corduroy suits. Mix and match. 

Some things never go out of style. This retro look would still get some double takes on the street. OK, so maybe the dude in the steely blue brushed corduroy suit on the right might be dated for his vintage clothing choice in suits on the street today... but, the other two would be rockin' it and not look out of place for their retro style.

Check out our current selection of mens vintage suits and jackets.

Deadstock Vintage 1950's XL Western Shirt


When it comes to Mens Vintage Clothing - Deadstock Clothing is KING! Here's a rare gen in vintage: a 1950's RED unworn Tem-Tex Western Sportswear mens shirt with Extra Long Tails. And, it's even a super rare mens XL size. See it here.

How do we know this is a 50's western shirt? According to a reference book we have in the shop which shows the exact tag on this shirt, that's how! We don't guess when it comes to certain vintage items (most we have enough experience to know). 

What reference book do you have about vintage western shirts? It's called "Western Shirts - A Classic American Fashion" by Steven E. Weil and C. Daniel DeWeese - and it's a fantastic reference book for mens vintage western shirts.

1967: Men Carrying Purses and Wearing Knee Socks with Shorts

It's 1967. You're looking at the Sears Catalog contemplating those Oakbrook Polished Cottons. Unfortunately, what you yearn for are the socks and the Man Purse or "Murse" that is depicted in the illustration. What quickens your decent into the abyss of fashion depression is that neither the socks nor the murse get a mention in the catalog.

You vow to find the socks and the Man Purse. And when they are tracked down, and you can buy them... you're going to wear just the socks and carry the murse.

So there.

Fashion Flashback: 1967 Mens Boxer Shorts


Back in 1967, you could buy boxers shorts out of the Sears catalog that were guaranteed for one full year. This leaves us wondering how many guys might have actually carried their undies back to the store for a refund. If any did.

Most of all, the photo collage really made us chuckle. Those boxers are pulled up and over their belly buttons. And, that coffee cup the big guy is holding looks like he may have wrestled it from the two smaller men hanging out at his left hip. 

We observed a moment of silence in reverence to a world without Photoshop... and vowed to toss out our threadbare underwear.

Mens Vintage Clothing: Pants of the 70's

Men's Vintage Clothing - Sears 1975 Catalog


Back in 1975, polyester was KING of the fabrics when it came to men's fashion. Most often worn tight and close to the body, polyester had fair amount of stretch which allowed men to move freely yet keep that body hugging, more fitted look.

Sears was one of the department stores that was well known for producing mens fashion for the masses, and at DressThatMan.com we have sold many items from Sears over the years from the 1970's. Of course, these men's 70's fashion pieces are now items are which are referred to as men's vintage clothing - desirable today for costumers for use in film and stage, celebrities of all types, musicians, sports figures, and... top shelf men who simply love keeping it REAL in genuine vintage.

As illustrated in the photo above, men's doubleknit polyester plaid pants were a common sight on men and in their closets. We've got loads of Men's Vintage Polyester Pants online at DressThatMan.com - and many have never been worn.

Adding some genuine mens vintage clothing to your wardrobe is a great way to enhance your style and stand out in the crowd. 70's fashion can be damn funny... and fun to wear!

Men's Fashion In the 70's

Back in 1975, men in polyester leisure suits were a common sight across the American landscape. As illustrated in the Sears catalog photo above, some guys chose to wear bright color slacks with their plaid leisure suit jacket. Also note the first guy is wearing a turtle neck shirt, the second is wearing a pull over sports shirt and the third is wearing a traditional button down with a tie. And if you observe closely - look at how high waisted those pants are!

There was no internet, or Google back in 1975. Instead, people waited to get their hands on the latest big department store catalogs. Prior to surfing the web, people flipped the pages of 5 pound seasonal catalogs. And, in the condition of which we have seen some of these catalogs - there was a LOT of page flipping going on, man!

For the modern day man, if you're web surfing on an iPad or any touch screen computer you can simulate that page flipping action at DressThatMan.com - we've got plenty of original men's vintage clothes from the 70's for you to check out.

Men's Vintage Fashion: 1979 Hot Pants

Women remember when hot pants and short shorts were all the rage back in the 1970's - but, who is clamoring for this 70's booty short look to come back in men's fashion? Tennis anyone!? 

With this treacherous heatwave we've been having across the nation
DressThatMan.com can safely assume there must be a fraction of men across the USA wearing this look, although the majority of them are most likely confined to their homes...

Mens 60's Fashion: Man Gang 1967

Striking a rather unnatural pose for a 1967 Penneys Catalog, this retro man gang look like they could blend right into a fall color scheme. Over the years, we've had many men's vintage clothing items from JC Penney on the DressThatMan.com website and the color scheme shown above was a popular one in the mid to late 1960's.


Guys posing like this on the sidewalk are going to get some attention no matter what they are wearing!

We double dare ya, man.

Men's Vintage: Broomsticks Slacks


Check out this advertisement from 1971 for Broomsticks Men's Slacks. Broomsticks Slacks were a product of Glen Oaks in New York City. This particular men's fashion season featured these doubleknit slacks in 100% Celanese Fortrel polyester fabric.

According to their advertising at the time, "They stand up to all the action - whatever that might be." In 1971, these pants sold for 18 to 25 bucks a pair. While those prices might not seem like much today, according to the Government's Inflation Calculator - those $18.00 pants back in 1971 are equal to spending $102.14 today. And, the $25.00 pants are equal to $141.86!

Note the slightly higher hemline and how snug the pants were to a man's body compared to modern day fashion. DressThatMan has carried these vintage pants from time to time, and no doubt - it's very possible we'll have some to offer in the future in the store. Providing we can grab some pants in excellent or unworn vintage condition.

The one thing these pants wouldn't stand up to is getting burned with cigarettes (or other things)... and since smoking was something people did a lot back then don't be surprised if you find a pair with some burns on 'em.

Not from us. We're just sayin'.

1970's Men's Disco Pants

1970's Disco CostumesMens 1970's ClothesMens Disco PantsMens Disco CostumesDisco Clothes for MenVintage 1970's Clothing




DressThatMan.com has your pants, man! If you're looking high and low for some cool men's 1970's authentic disco era pants that have never been worn by another man, chances are good we've got 'em in stock. We've recently acquired a mountain of mens disco era pants in prime sizes from waist 33" to rare XL sizing up to waist 42". And, if you've been searching online or off, you already know how difficult it is to source real man sizing in vintage clothing - particularly in genuine 1970's fashion.


Deadstock Vintage (original clothing specific to a bygone era that has never been worn) is an indulgence of luxury and a pleasure to wear for the creative and vibrant man. Your mere presence says it all in whatever you do. You know that impression is everything, so why show up at the retro themed event wearing a cheesy costume that, chances are good, some other guy will be wearing. No way man. You want the REAL THING. Real clothes that men wore in the 1970's. 


Some men who crave Deadstock Vintage Clothing, simply cannot bear the thought of wearing clothing that was previously worn by another man. Doesn't matter if it was dry cleaned or freshly laundered - the thought creeps some of you out. We know, because we've heard it repeatedly, and we truly appreciate your honesty.


Which leads us to another familiar question we get...


How can I find my pant size on your site?


First thing you need to do is to actually measure a pair of pants you own that fit (dress pants - not jeans). Don't measure your body and don't go by what tag size you think or know you wear. We measure everything on the site flat on a table so you can get the best possible fit. Modern day sizing tags don't generally measure up as they are tagged. See more about how we measure here.


Once you have the waist and inseam measurement, you can put it in the search box on the DressThatMan.com website like this example: "34x32" and hit the enter key.


When you initiate the search with the measured size, it will pull up all of the available pants in that size - including pants that can be altered in the inseam length to that specific size.


Of course you can always peruse our pant catalog by general sizing: SMALL (waist 32" and under) - Medium (waist 33" - 35") - Large (waist 36" - 38") and XL (waist 39" and UP)


We'll be busy adding more deadstock vintage mens clothing over the summer, including men's 1970's disco pants in solid colors. Keep an eye on our site - we've got loads of great merchandise we're prepping for you.
