Still Groovin', Man!
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. Of course... you'll need a photographing friend along to lag behind and record the details. It could be fun, man. Really. People need reasons to smile. 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?
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…

1970's Fashion is FUN!

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!

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!
