Tip of the Hat to Back to Jack

2011-12-07T12:16:00.000-08:00

Jack... the first man brave enough to send in a photo for the gallery, otherwise known as DressThatMan's Funky Fashion Hall of Fame. The shop crew was recently reminiscing over the excitement at receiving the photograph above of you wearing the wild print 1970's disco shirt back in 2004.

Thanks for the the memories, man!

Original 70's Polyester Leisure Suits

2011-12-06T09:04:00.000-08:00

Here's a genuine 1970's super groovy RUST color polyester leisure suit made by Levi's. For the action man on the dance floor, this suit will move and groove with you all night long. Polyester doesn't wrinkle easily, and it has a natural stretch to it - so you won't feel constrained showing off the manliest of maneuvers.

This suit is fully machine washable, too. Labeled an XL, the jacket measures up as a 44 and the flared pants measure in at 39x32. Western influenced with the pearly snaps. A standout with the contrasting top stitching on the jacket and the pants.

Get all the details on this vintage disco era suit here. Come on cowboy... lets get it ON!

Men's Pants In 1967

2011-11-29T16:06:00.000-08:00

Dig the depiction of Men's pants in the 60's in the photo above. 1967 specifically. From the Penneys Fall and Winter catalog. Belt widths ranged from medium to wide, and some pants were minus the belt loops all together. Cuffed leg hems and uncuffed. All with tapered legs, and... as you can see, pants were worn much shorter back in the 1960's. Gotta show off a bit of sock and those shoes, man.

If you're a guy into wearing uber expensive modern day shoes, you could be hoping for this "show off your shoes" style to make a comeback. While others may be having horrible flashbacks to Family Matters Steve Urkel character.

If this style ever does come back full circle, we might all have to be reassessing what socks we are wearing. Those bagankle (baggy ankle) socks will be the first to go - and not simply the stretched out at the ankle socks, but the ones that slowly make their way south throughout the day and end up looking like two homeless Shar Pei puppies. Which on a side note, might make some cool sock puppets. At least you could have a little bit of fun with them before adding to the sudden influx of socks overflowing the landfills.

Yes Sir. Socks don't get the respect they deserve nowadays. They are kept mostly hidden, in the dark, far away and underneath things. The ones we love are prone to lose a twin, mysteriously disappearing in the apparently hungry washer and/or dryer. Wanted posters don't help. Neither do rewards. Sometimes we keep the solo sock hoping for a reunion and wait for years before we finally throw the urchins out.

Yet, every now and then the stars align in the universe and a sock comes back. "So Far Away" by Carole King stops incessantly playing over and over in your head, replaced by "Reunited" by Peaches and Herb.

Go ahead. Be proud. Show off your socks.

Sensationally Senseless Fashion

2011-11-21T14:53:00.000-08:00

Here are some photos above taken from a Penneys catalog circa 1967. Evidently, it was incredibly popular to stand out in the crowd by wearing adult outfits that were akin to being dressed like 2 year old twins. That's right, no need to wonder who is with who at that shindig when you are dressed in matching clothes. Yes, there is no better way to get people to back off when you don't have to audibly say he or she is mine. It's clear. We get it. Nice to meet you two.

While we find this wildly amusing today, it's a fashion statement we would be quite surprised (and horrified) to ever see a successful revival of.

Men's Designer 1970's Vintage Disco Shirts

2011-10-27T07:33:00.000-07:00

Some original 1970's Men's disco shirts are far more special than others, and the shirt shown in the photo above is certainly one of them. It was mighty tough getting a photo of this rare 70's shirt because the camera flash bounced off the fabric giving the black background on it a semi-transparent appearance when it actually is jet black.

It didn't last long once we put it up on the site here, but it is one shirt we'll always remember.

"How to tell a guy how to dress..."

2009-10-20T13:05:00.000-07:00

Oh, yes. Someone recently Googled the search term "how to tell a guy how to dress" and subsequently found the DressThatMan.com web site.

The Dr. Phil inside us is concerned because, what you are Googling seems to be more of a communication problem with your guy with a mere sideline of taste in fashion. If this is a new relationship, it may not be wise to "tell him how to dress" at all, and... if it is an established relationship, you've probably already told him (more than once) and he's thrown away all of the dingy underclothes by now and felt like that was a sufficient upgrade. Sorry, but because of that supreme sacrifice he doesn't hear the complaints now. Not even when replying, "yes, honey... whatever you say."

In either case - a more gentle form of coercion can then be utilized. Like secretly measuring his pants and ordering some really super tight, pimp daddy deluxe 1970's polyester flares for him yourself. Yes. With your own money. Along with a color coordinated 70's disco shirt to bring the ensemble together. Yes.

Once you place your order, a few days later the package will arrive. Set the stage for the reveal. Perhaps a home cooked meal, romantic music, then right before dessert... surprise! I've got a gift for you... and give him the package.

If he says NO, then you can say no, too. That's all the incentive he needs.

Or, so we've heard.

Be aware that these , and other, cheap Disco Costumes and 70's outfits are NOT at all like the REAL 1970's deal that you'll find at DressThatMan.com - costume type clothes and other reproduction clothing is often highly exaggerated in design and cheaply mass produced.

The best of Muskegon Michigan!

2009-07-13T08:09:00.000-07:00

Man, sometimes you take a weekend trip and you simply have to blog about it. A couple of the staff here at DressThatMan.com visited Muskegon, Michigan over the weekend and are still raving about the weekend jaunt. When you can't shut up about something... you had better document it in writing.

You HAVE to have the ultimate Bistro experience at Mia & Grace. Owned and operated by chefs Jeremy and Jamie Paquin, who adhere to the "farm to table" philosophy of serving food grown and raised locally.

Yes, I can cook and you can cook, but - Jeremy and Jamie aren't what we would call cooks in the simple context of the word - without a doubt, they are world class chefs that will serve you food that will completly blow you away. Superb. Freakin' fantabulosity, baby. After eating there and meeting them, I'm seriously thinking I cannot actually cook at all.

Yes, the dining experience at Mia & Grace had such a gastronomically profound impact on us that if we were ever given the choice to take a trip back in a time machine back to the 1970's to Studio 54 disco or eat at Mia & Grace... "well, hello Jeremy and Jamie... bring it ON!"

After lunch we visited our favorite winery in Muskegon - Clay Avenue Cellars to sample the new stuff and acquire fresh fruit wines. The wines are made with Michigan grown fruit and have no added color or artificial flavorings. Simply delicious. Perfect for imbibing with friends on the Lake Michigan beachfront while watching the sunset (and for hauling several cases back home). The wine from Clay Avenue Cellars totally capped off the perfect day, even while we were still talking about the Mia & Grace experience!

We had such a phenomenal time in Muskegon we were compelled to share it. Good food and wine are meant to be shared experiences. This was one weekend for the memory bank... and the groovy people associated with it all ROCK!

We'll be back. Soon. As in very.

Whoa, man! Got a disco party to go to and nothing groovy to wear? If you're a lucky man then this suit will fit you like a glove.

Believe it or not, this genuine 1970's is UNWORN and was purchased in California back in 1975 for 75 bucks, which according to the inflation calculator makes this suit worth just under 300 bucks in today's cash. For whatever reason, the man who bought it never wore it - so it's been in storage ever since.

Check out the details on this authentic vintage 1970's polyester leisure suit here. One guy in the world is going to get incredibly lucky in this top stitched suit!

1970's Vintage Jeans

2009-01-12T09:59:00.000-08:00

Looking for 70's flares and bell bottom jeans from the disco era? Check out Dress That Man for some genuine denim fashion that is UNWORN.

1970's denim Levi's have superior fabrics in comparison to what you'll find on the racks in stores today. Those jeans are heavy duty and feel stiff until you break them in by wearing them and washing them several times, and... they wear like iron. Just ask your Dad or your Grandfather. They'll know exactly what we are talking about.

We've also got a limited number of late 60's and early 70's denim jeans. These vintage jeans also have a 14 oz heavy duty denim fabric. Plus, they are SANFORIZED meaning the fabric was specifically treated using a 1930 trademarked process to reduce shrinkage in cotton-blend fabrics to less than 1%. You can read more about the Sanforized process here.

Not all vintage jeans are created equal. One popular (made for the department store masses) from the 1970's was the "Male" brand - the fabric as well as the construction of this particular brand was made of cheaper materials and methods. Yes, there certainly are plenty of others that fall into that category of lesser quality and construction (such as many sailor type patch pocket jeans from the 70's) - but, the "Male" brand is one that stands out, as there seems to be a lot of them still out there in the vintage market.

We get a few Male brand vintage items on occasion, mainly because they were part of a large lot, but we don't actively pursue that brand any longer after receiving complaints on the quality of the construction - which we agree with!

Nothing beats the heavy duty denim in original vintage flares and bells, man!

A website was brought to our attention recently where we were being discussed here. Which then led us to this post here - yes, one that we found rather amusing.

PayPal rotates the featured shops, and has NEVER sent us "millions" of visitors even when we are up there in the featured space! Rest assured.

As we have disclosed on our myspace page - in 2008, we had over 1,200,000 visitors look at over 4 million pages. We should know, having total access to the server stats. Yep. We surely know, baby.

As a Vintage Clothing store for MEN only, with a major emphasis on fashion from the 70's disco era, we are quite clearly a specialty enterprise that is focused intensely on a niche market. One which would only be appealing to a segment of Men, women and costumers who are seriously looking specifically for original vintage clothing.

We're doing what we should be doing, man. Concentrating on funking you wild guys up. And, remaining relevant to our cause.

The fact is there are many sites out there offering speculative and erroneous information about us: Alexa, Quantcast and more. Of course, Alexa stats are driven by people who have the "Alexa toolbar" installed, which doesn't reveal the big picture - and Quantcast... well, they'd like to sell us something and then post all of the statistics. Uh huh.

We've also noticed a recent insurgence of bullshit keyword spamming type websites with our name in them for what reason we aren't sure - other than they are desperate in trying to get hits, so they add as many "keywords" as possible and we happen to be one of them. Yet, we haven't noticed one person arriving on our site from any of them. Hmmmm.

Having a website is much more than how many "hits" you get.

It all comes down to what you've got once they arrive.

HAPPY 2009 from DressThatMan.com!

2009-01-02T06:15:00.000-08:00

Thanks for keeping it real and funking it up in 2008, man... it's all about you guys... and you ROCK, baby!

Onward into 2009 and we'll be hunkering down in the DressThatMan bunkers prepping more fabulous vintage clothing for you. After doing our year end inventory, we've discovered a many hidden gems in our warehouse stock. Yes! We've literally got thousands of unlisted items we'll be prepping and listing in the New Year.

Thanks for making 2008 another fantastic year at DressThatMan.com!

Men’s Vintage Clothing from DressThatMan.com

2008-12-23T07:02:00.000-08:00

Happy Holidays, man!

It’s almost time for us to do our year end inventory, and honestly… we can get tired just thinking about it. But, some things just need to be done and that’s all part of the process as a corporation. Yet, it somehow seems cruel to be doing this between Christmas day and the New Year. This surely sets the stage for another massive blowout on New Years Eve, doesn’t it?

We’ve got thousands of items in the inventory, both on the site and off. And, since we’re talking about inventory… we’ve got NEW items arriving soon!

Yes, Sir. We’re in the process of acquiring and prepping several large lots – yes, HUNDREDS… of Men’s vintage pants (shirts and more) that will put a smile on the face of our retro loving customers. Why? Because they are different from the unworn 1970’s vintage polyester disco pants we’ve got on the site currently – many of which we had/have multiples of, and some of which remain on the site in certain styles and sizes.

Oh, boy. We’ve got major piles of vintage DEADSTOCK men’s pants coming (that’s new old vintage with the tags attached for those who don’t know) chock full of funky 1970’s disco era bell bottoms, flares and even some peg leg men’s pants from the mod 1960’s. Polyester, cotton blends and corduroys. Flare jeans, too. Warehouse items that were unsold back in the 1960’s – 1970’s. Locked away for decades and soon to be released upon the world. Super cool, man!

Most of these new pants we’ll be listing are hemmed, and some of the polyester flares and bells are for the man who needs a shorter inseam – when buying the super long unhemmed vintage polyester pants for the tall guys that we have on the site - that would, unfortunately result in your cutting off the bell/flare when getting a custom inseam. That was something that really bummed some of you guys out - we know because you told us.

So, watch for a flood of new old stock to appear in the PANTS and SHIRTS department at DressThatMan in the upcoming months of 2009. Soon, more of you will be ridin’ groovy!

We get questions... lot of 'em. Some of the questions we've had recently are:
Why don’t you have a mailing list? Yes, we get this question all of the time and well… we don’t have a mailing list because we know how much unsolicited email we each get, and quite honestly – it’s annoying. So, we don’t want to end up being categorized as junk mail or spamming. Plus, we’re always busy behind the scenes here, and if we have something to say – we’ll say it in our blog, or… you’ll see the changes on the DressThatMan.com website.

Hey guys, I ordered from you before I want (insert items list here) just charge it to my card, OK? Sorry, but we don't store customer credit card details anywhere on the website so we can't do it. We never see your credit card details as it is encrypted by the merchant processing end of our shopping cart and is handled on the back end. We believe it's safer that way NOT to have a customer database that may be compromised.

One of my favorite bands/celebrity/actors wears vintage clothing that I think they bought from DressThatMan.com - can you confirm this? We don't tell those kind of secrets! So, we can neither confirm nor deny it's true. What we can say is that we have a growing list of talented and famous people who do buy clothing from us regularly.

Got a FACEBOOK site? Yeah, we do, but… truth is we don’t hang out there at all. We’re strictly old school, man. We’re hanging in retrograde on MYSPACE here: http://www.myspace.com/manecan - yes, our mannequin has complete control of the site. He’s often unruly when he isn’t modeling.

HOT FASHION 2009

2008-10-06T13:37:00.000-07:00

Check out these models wearing the newest creations by famed French fashion designer Pierre Cardin during the presentation of his Spring-Summer 2009 and Autumn-Winter 2009 collections. These photos were taken at his villa in Theoule sur Mer, southern France, on Monday, Oct. 6, 2008.

What the hell? Do you know anyone who actually yearns to look like a BUG and flit around town in either of these creations? While the first model appeases the photographer while striking a pose behind dark glasses as a big RED period with a pocket, that second model appears quite unhappy wearing the quilted kite with a shark fin head. Miserable perhaps due to only being able to move her arms at the elbow.

Born on July 7th, 1922... Pierre Cardin is a world famous Italian born French Fashion designer known for his avant-garde design and a love of geometric shapes. But, please Mr. Cardin... is this actually the haute couture of the future? We suspect if it was anyone BUT Pierre Cardin, these pictures would have never made fashion news. Ugh.

The 1970's has taken quite the rap for its eccentric and flashy funky fashion for years, and of course, the crew at DressThatMan.com fully promotes its revival to this day. We dig it.

Compared to this shit... the 1970's were dead ON serious, man.

You asked for it and you got it, man. DISCO CLOTHES! You wanna look the part and dress up 70's style for Halloween. Maybe you want to be John Travolta and wear a white disco suit from the 1970's. And, REAL vintage white suits from the disco era are like finding a needle in a haystack - and expensive if you find one. So, instead you opt for costume clothes. If that's you, then check this place out:

Of course, if you're throwing the party and want to look like you stepped back in time, you'll want to shop at DressThatMan.com - we've got MORE original 1970's clothes that are UNWORN and waiting for the right man to come along than any place you'll find worldwide.

Make your event historic by wearing the REAL vintage deal, man! Shop early so you get what you want... our stuff is flying off the shelves as you read this. If you wait until the last minute to shop express shipping is costly and you might not find that gem you are looking for in our inventory.

Return Policy Changes at DressThatMan.com

2008-08-08T07:51:00.000-07:00

DressThatMan.com Incorporated has recently instituted a change in our return policy and wanted to write a post and talk about the changes.

What has changed? We are now charging a nominal fee of 10% of the cost of the returned item(s) to cover restocking fees. Ugh (Yes, we did this kicking and screaming all the way). Previously, we had a 0% return policy (for 4 years) providing customers returned merchandise to us within a week, and only after that restocking fees applied. And, we liked that policy a LOT... because, as consumers we all thought that restocking fees were pure bullshit.

Yet, as a Corporation we have come to the realization that there is an ever increasing amount of time and costs involved in processing returns, and the 10% charge is nominal as compared to other online vintage clothing stores in the industry. Processing returns including the time for re-steaming, repackaging, adding to the online inventory along with additional bookkeeping costs involved have forced us to reevaluate the policy and make these changes.

While most didn't abuse our previous 0% return policy, a few did. When a customer orders several outfits with the intention of keeping one - it takes multiple items out of inventory and items offline for several weeks of non-availability to other customers. While we don't mind if you choose to order a couple of outfits and choose once they are in your hands, you will now pay the nominal 10% restocking fee for doing so. And, we cannot stress enough that you check the measurements on items and follow the sizing information section to minimize returns altogether.

Surprisingly, some online vintage clothing stores won't allow returns for anything other than "store credit ONLY" - a practice which, rest assured we will never institute. Why not? Because, lets face it... due to the very nature of our mens vintage clothing, we know that many of you guys out there are purchasing from DressThatMan for a special event. We don't feel it's ethical from a business standpoint to hold you hostage in that way. Granted... while we'd like your money, our main goal will always be customer satisfaction with our merchandise.

As for our long standing repeat customers, the old 0% policy still applies. Special treatment?

You betcha.

Customer Service

2008-06-02T12:44:00.000-07:00

Customer Service is where it's at, man. But... there are some people that you're never going to make happy. Ever. Just because.

Why? Mainly, because they are pissed off. And, this one began as a customer who apparently didn't win an ebay auction. That said customer is in possession of five shirts purchased from DressThatMan.com for him by his Mother for his birthday.

We won't name him, because we do have a privacy clause on the site and we don't ever release customer information without permission. Even though it was actually his Mother that was the customer and not him - technically we could post his information but we won't - so, if he gives us the go ahead - we'll release it. Along with the mp3 of his long telephone message he left on Memorial Day ending with he won't be shopping at DressThatMan.com again.

It's a well known fact that many of the top vintage stores both online and off, along with their network of buyers, do find specialized items on ebay that are purchased for resale. OK, so... the hot-under-the-collar customer was completely bent out of shape because number one: he had to apparently had to pay over 100 dollars for a rare 1970's Nik-Nik shirt that he felt he was in competition with a vintage clothing store for, thus jacking up the price. Blaming us and ticked off, because other shirts he wanted he was also outbid on. We've seen collectible Nik-Nik shirts go for just under 200 bucks on ebay in the past.

Unfair, shady business practice? Nope. Ebay is a free market, and we've got no doubt that Antique Dealers and specialized shops buy on ebay all of the time. In fact, we know of of many names that are used to buy vintage clothing items for online stores that are always buying on ebay. We don't have to name names. It's not warranted.

Is buying on ebay an unethical practice? Is buying something for resale and making a profit shady when you're in business? Hell, no. We're not talking widgets you can pick up a dime a dozen here in this particular instance. We're talking about a relatively rare items that are decades old and are NOT available on the racks at the mall for mass consumption. The rarest items are very often NOT the most profitable items due to their cost. Certain specialty items we have waiting lists for - if we can ever find them.

Many of our customers "don't do ebay, and would NEVER buy on ebay" Why? Because of past disappointments. Things not being what they said in the auction, things having issues: smelly items, damaged items and not being able to find EXACTLY what they want EXACTLY when they want it. Plus, many sellers don't accept returns and that's a hassle for some people.

Are we competing with our customers on ebay? Often we and our buyers are bidding against other vintage clothing retailers when it comes to specialized vintage clothing items. When a customer buys directly from DressThatMan.com and needs to return an item because it doesn't fit or isn't right for him for any reason, they can return it for a full refund. Minus shipping charges, which is pretty much standard in the industry. BUT what isn't standard in the vintage clothing business is that not everyone will give you your money back for a return and you are forced to accept store credit, a practice we don't think is fair. Why? Because vintage isn't for everybody and maybe you wouldn't find another item you actually wanted in any given online store.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our customer service rep, Shelly called and left a voice mail message explaining that vintage clothing store shopping on ebay was a common practice and blah, blah... "I don't know what to tell you... maybe you should bid higher next time on ebay..."

OK... so maybe she could use a crash course in public relations - but, the comment wasn't exactly out of bounds considering it is ebay and the guy was pissed off he didn't win some auctions there.

DressThatMan.com Customer Specialist Taylor then wrote to him (via the email address on the original orders placed by his Mother) the same day:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi ::: name removed :::,

Thank you for the telephone call. We received your message that you left on Memorial Day today, May 27^th, 2008.

The vast majority of Mens Vintage Clothing items we have at DressThatMan.com – come from the people who have them and contact us directly, and from warehouses that have long been closed.

It is a common practice for purveyors of vintage clothing to search for specialized and rare items in all possible sources. This includes ebay auctions. As for items not "showing up on the site" soon after an auction ends, the network buyer who then sells an items to the corporate division at DressThatMan.com often waits until they have several boxes of items since most buys are made in bulk. You mentioned an item that went for 100 dollars on ebay and then shows up on the site for 50 dollars more. Whatever Nik-Nik shirt you are referencing …in vintage retail, a standard mark up of 50% is well within reason. Chances are, the mark up was even less – because our network of buyers also have to make a profit. At DressThatMan.com, we have retail buyers waiting for Nik-Nik disco shirts worldwide, so it would be no surprise to us to find that ebay would be a source in the network of vintage clothing buyers who then sell to us. Many of the vintage Nik-Nik shirts we obtain never make the site for general public consumption due to the waiting list we have.

As for ebay, it's a free market. Our network of buyers are not in direct competition with the customers who shop at DressThatMan.com – our buyers are simply searching for items on our most wanted list.

We're sorry that you are disappointed that you didn't win an ebay auction, and we're sorry to hear that you won't be shopping at DressThatMan.com because of it.

Regards,

Taylor

Customer Specialist

::: start :::
Then we get this from ::: name removed :::

Thank you for returning my call last week. This is the last message you will hear from me, but I felt your comments warranted a reply. You conveyed that buying clothes on Ebay and then re-selling them on your site is within ethical bounds. I simply want to know why this source is not listed on your site's section: Where do you get all this stuff?

I just want to reiterate that I am disappointed with your business practices, because I love your site and the merchandise you offer. I simply want you to stop and think about the limited options your clients have when it comes to making ONLINE purchases. I never said it is illegal for you to attain clothes from Ebay, but I think an ethical boundary has been crossed in directly competing with your customers on an alternative site for purchasing vintage clothing. If you feel that Ebay is fair game, then I simply encourage you to be truthful with your customers and include Ebay on this section of your site. Why hide the truth? I have taken the liberty of writing the copy for you so you will have more time to scour Ebay for other incredible bargains.

Where do you get all this stuff?
While you sleep, we are scouring the globe. When you are awake, we may be shopping on Ebay. While you are waiting to see if your $100 bid for a Nik Nik shirt will result in a happy ending, don't be surprised if we outbid you at the last minute. Don't worry, the shirt is not completely lost to you forever. Just wait patiently for about a month, and then you can pay $150 for that same shirt at DressThatMan.com. There is no reason to frown. We've got you covered! DressThatMan's buyers are super savvy garment zombies who enjoy the thrill of the hunt and chase and take pride in the fact that we hand pick all of our selections according to higher standards. Not much makes us happier than finding great stuff that ultimately makes you happy and deflates your bank account. Then it's happy - happy - happy ...all the way around. We love that almost as much as we love inflation. Although, we get some of our best vintage merchandise directly from the original owners, the man who loved his vintage fashions and still does, except he can't fit into it anymore and wants it to have a good home. Some items come from estate sales, vintage shops and through an ever increasing network of reliable people who buy things specifically for DressThatMan.com and know us by our high standards.

All the best,

Columbus, OH

P.S. I converted your snide voicemail ("I don't know what to tell you... BID HIGHER NEXT TIME") to an mp3 file. I'm still trying to decide the best way to share it with others. www.dressthatmanEXPOSED.com???

::: end :::

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Snide voice mail? A number of people were in the office when the message was left and it wasn't snide in the least. Send the mp3.

It's a fact. It's ebay. You lose an online auction because your bid wasn't high enough. Bid higher.

We understand that some of our items are pricey, and we also know that not everyone can afford to buy vintage clothing items from DressThatMan.com and that ebay along with other, smaller vintage clothing stores are options. But, we also understand our customer base and the fact that we have many wealthy clientèle who want certain rare, difficult to source and collectible items and the bottom line is that we are in the business to find them.

By the way, we did have the webmaster add "online auctions" to the list on the FAQ page of the site.

Do It Yourselfers Beware!

2008-05-22T07:17:00.000-07:00

We knocked our site of Commission last night trying to upgrade some software. Deludged with mail throughout the night informing us our site was down, as any link that was clicked on, users got the following bright white nearly naked but rather blaring page with these words:

---- begin error message ----
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@dressthatman.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
---- end error message ----

Oh, it was nothing that YOU did by clicking on the site, the problem was clearly at our end. You did not cause the error. We thought we could interpret what seemed to be some relatively simple instructions and upgrade our shopping cart software to address some minor bugs and NOOOOOOO... we put 'er down. By the time 11 pm rolled around, we knew it was a case of having to wait rather sheepishly for technical support to come to the rescue the next day.

We're all about empowerment through trying things. Common mantra being, "I think I can... I think I can..." the fact is, some things are better left untouched while you're thinking you can. Try thinking you can wait.

Anyway... we got technical support working on cleaning up the atrocities we have committed upon ourselves and the site was working again before many of you even knew it was down. Throwing money at certain problems tends to do the trick.

Yeah, we'll still collectively sing the mantra, "I think I can... I think I can..." but, the next time we get that feeling when it comes to technical aspects of the DressThatMan.com ecommerce site... we're gonna change our tune to, "I think I can delegate this task to the appropriate technical group."

We've learned a valuable lesson, and we've duly spanked ourselves in the process.

Listen up. Save your ass.

Our celebrity gallery guy, Dez is still workin' it! He knows that wearing authentic 1970's clothing gets it him plenty of attention, and when you're an actor... attention is paramount, baby.

DressThatMan.com is all about providing top quality original vintage clothing for MEN who aren't afraid to be the center of attention - especially 1970's style. We dare you to attempt to be nonchalant and go grocery shopping in these threads. Please take lots of photos if you do. Especially of the amused shoppers that will surely be staring.

You could be the IT guy that accomplishes that task. Spread the love.

We do not recommend applying for a bank loan in these clothes, but then again... if your banker possesses that 1970's era disco soul... it could give you just the advantage you need.

Go wild. Release your inner disco man!

What is Vintage Clothing?

2008-05-02T07:32:00.000-07:00

The term “vintage” has different connotations to different people, but here at DressThatMan.com we’re talking specifically about Men’s Vintage Clothing. And, we consider true vintage clothing to be mens fashions that were manufactured in the past – up to 1980.

We’ve notice a surge in modern day manufacturers in using the word vintage associated with their clothing. Modern vintage style clothing being manufactured today, certainly isn’t the true vintage we are offering on our website.

Without naming names, there are several modern day clothing companies that, for example, that are selling what they call “vintage” denim jeans. Most often, these jeans have a distressed, worn appearance. Apparently, the marketing wheels behind these companies feel that by making their jeans look “old” it’s OK to call them vintage. Yes, it’s somewhat misleading – but, it’s a marketing tactic that isn’t particularly unusual when the sole objective is the sale.

The word vintage according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, clearly refers to the year a vintner harvests and produces wine from a vineyard and a period of origin and manufacture, length of existence meaning age.

A pair of genuine vintage denim Levi Bellbottom Jeans from the 1970’s is not at all like modern day “vintage” style clothing. For one, the heavy denim was originally manufactured in San Francisco, California USA. Initially rather stiff, this extra heavy-duty 100% cotton denim from Levi’s is not being reproduced today. People who lived in the era and owned a pair of these original jeans know exactly what we’re talking about. And they will recall that these jeans took some time to break in and they would outlast any pair of jeans offered in the market today. The shrink-to-fit denim would take a very long time, and many, many trips to the washing machine and dryer to gently fade from their original indigo blue color. These were the superior Levi jeans, which are today classified as genuine vintage 1970’s Levi’s. Sought after by celebrities, collectors and vintage purists today because of their age and high quality construction.

The vast majority of shoppers at DressThatMan.com do wear the vintage clothing they purchase. Granted, there are some collectors who will buy deadstock (unworn vintage) clothing for display publicly or privately, for nostalgic reasons or to hold onto as a potential investment. We also have many Hollywood and Theatrical costumers and department heads who buy genuine vintage to outfit or, as a guide to reproduce clothing for film, theater and print.

We try to make it clear on the website exactly what vintage means, but we consistently get inquiries which make it clear to us that some people don't understand exactly what vintage clothing is. "Can I get this shirt in an XL?, Can I get 10 of these bellbottoms in the following sizes... Can I backorder this sold item? When will you be getting more of these suits in? etc. True vintage is an original article of clothing that was manufactured decades ago in a particular era. Therefore, these items have a limited supply unlike modern day manufactured clothing.

The best advice we can give you is: If it says VINTAGE on the label…

… it ISN’T true vintage.

1970's Fashion is FUN!

2008-04-17T07:37:00.000-07:00

Oh YEAH, man. 1970's fashion for Men was and is FUN and damn FUNNY, too!

So very appropriate is SHIR1970 shown here that it deserves a special mention. Certain prints don't last long on the site and this is sure to be one of them.

In the seventies, it was commonplace to wear snug shirts and practically painted on super TIGHT polyester pants with your platform shoes when you were stepping out on the town. Today, men wear their clothing much looser than they did in the 70's.

Which is exactly WHY some guys who buy authentic vintage disco clothes from us, have complete giggle fits when they put these clothes on. Sometimes, their partners think they look great, yet they fear leaving the house and being laughed at... even though they cannot stop laughing themselves.

The crazy prints in disco era shirts were often loud and gaudy and, the range of colors in polyester pants often defied explanation and comparison. Since polyester is colorfast and doesn't fade or wrinkle much, and is hardy in the stain resistance department, your pants would look just as bright as the day you bought them for as long as you kept them in your wardrobe.

If you are a man who never lived through the most decadent and and funky fashion era known as the 1970's, it's gonna feel mighty weird to put these clothes on. BUT... if you can suck it up and release your inner studly 70's man and funk it up in genuine clothing from the seventies, you're sure to have a blast from the past!

70s DISCO OUTFITS for WILD MEN!

2007-09-04T05:40:00.000-07:00

Hey, man! Are you thinking about putting together a 70’s disco outfit for that Halloween costume party you’re going to? If so, it’s not too early to start your online shopping spree now.

DressThatMan.com gets absolutely crazy busy in the fall with guys trying to put together funky disco outfits to party in. So, if you already know you’re going to be dressing up 1970’s style, it’s time to begin that search. Vintage clothes here have a tendency to fly off our virtual shelves, and it’s not unusual for us to get an email from someone who saw something on the site in the morning, put it in their cart without checking out and by the evening find that something is no longer available when they try to complete the transaction.

The vast majority of our Men’s Vintage Clothing is one-of-a-kind, so… whoever completes the check out process first gets the goods! That’s right – even IF you have something in your cart someone can snatch it away by checking out and completing the transaction before you do. And while that may seem incredibly rude, adding an item to your cart does NOT remove it from the inventory at DressThatMan. We can’t have the cart work that way, because as you already know – sometimes you add things to your cart when you are virtually shopping online and then abandon the cart and never complete the checkout process.

Occasionally, you’ll see abandoned shopping carts in real life stores, but… not nearly as often as it happens when people shop online. Imagine the chaos if you were in a Department Store and were heading to the check out and someone reached into your cart and removed a one-of-a-kind item right in front of your face and THEN – cut in front of you in the checkout lane! Shoppers rage would surely dominate the headlines if this became an everyday occurrence.

Don’t wait until the last minute to get it together, man! We’ve got a great selection of vintage mens 70’s disco pants, wild print big collar disco era shirts, polyester leisure suits, original 1970s platform shoes and more.

Get it on in authentic seventies fashion at DressThatMan.com!

One of our staff members has a massive collection of vinyl record albums from the 70's and early 80's and is now in the process of converting those old LP records to mp3's and CD's.

Why let that fabulous collection of vinyl records sit in storage? Yeah, you can still play them if you have a turntable system at home, but... it's impractical to lug a turntable with you wherever you go. Now you can easily convert that beloved vinyl album collection and you'll soon be able to play them on mobile devices such as your ipod and in your cd players on the road or at home. Have a blast making a compilation of your favorites from that old vinyl!

Mens Vintage Style

2007-06-28T09:31:00.000-07:00

Is your particular style based on popular taste or current fads? If so, you may want to step back and reevaluate the image you are projecting, or... the image you wish to project.

For some people overall style is a manner of living, with subtle consistency. For others, it is an eclectic mix of playful exuberance achieved with random intentions. Some rebels break the mold and develop a personal sense of style that virtually becomes them, which then becomes the popular taste of their admirers.

Celebrities and costumers have long known that by mingling vintage clothing into a wardrobe, it’s possible to create a unique expression of individuality. The exclusivity and rarity of vintage pieces makes this original and authentic fashion highly desirable.

Modern day designers often revert to perusing collections, styles, cuts, fabrics and patterns from what is now vintage clothing for inspiration in creating new lines. Incorporating aspects of vintage fashion into modern day fashion is quite common... as everything old is new again.

DressThatMan.com has a long list of celebrity clientèle who peruse, buy and wear our original vintage clothing. Our authentic vintage clothing has also been utilized in a diverse array of multimedia applications; film, television, theater and print.
