RETRO STYLE for MEN






























Retro clothing KICKS ASS, man!


We absolutely love it when guys hand pick an outfit from our virtual racks and put it together well. Check out the pics in this 70's rocker fashion ensemble that one of our customers put together: One distressed 1970's vintage leather jacket, a deadstock mens butterfly collar shirt and a plaid pair of seventies bell bottom pants with cuffs.

When you wear vintage clothing, you are creating and developing a style that's uniquely YOU. It's true, that nobody can copy your style exactly when you wear vintage clothes.

Why look like everybody else when you can stand out in the crowd?

70's DISCO PARTY DANCE MUSIC


UPDATE: be sure to check out our super groovy compilation of authentic 1970's disco party dance music for your ipod from DressThatMan.com's iTunes iMix here.

Hey, man!
Now that you're all dressed to kill in funky fashions from the 70's you
bought from your primo disco clothes dealer, DressThatMan... you need to get your hot hands on some great disco dancing music by the original artists from the seventies to get that party started. Because wearing funked up authentic 70s fashion just isn't enough, you gotta get down and boogie to the beats and give that polyester a workout.


If you were a complete purist being true to the 70's disco era, you'd be spinning records... but, we know that not many people not of the era actually have record players anymore. And, lucky for you much of the original music of the seventies has been remastered and is now available on CD's so you can still kick out those jams. And, that's a good thing... because most of our disco music collection on record albums are scratched from too much partying with amateur inebriated DJs at the helm. Or, because we were fighting over which one would play next!

If you're setting up music for a retro disco theme party it's gotta be LOUD, baby! A big subwoofer would be an ideal addition to your CD system setup. Why? Because back in the disco days the thumping of the beat was so intense in some clubs you could feel the music pounding in your chest. OK... so we don't expect you to go THAT far, but... you get the picture.

Need help in the 70's dance moves department? Check out these DVD's full of music and performances by the original artists. Grab Superstars of Seventies Soul: LIVE watch it and learn to boogie from the masters. Another DVD you should definitely check out is KC and the Sunshine Band present Get Down Tonight -The Disco Explosion Live. Two great DVD's to play for your 70's party guests to get everyone in the Disco dancing party mood.

It's not a fun and fabulous 70's retro DISCO theme PARTY without the original fashion and the music!


Dress your men in authentic 70's fashion from DressThatMan.com: tight polyester disco pants, wild and crazy snug funky print disco shirts, vintage mens platform shoes, polyester disco leisure suits, big butterfly collars, flares, bell bottoms and more. Don't forget to take lots of pictures of your guests having a riot at your disco theme party, and after your hangovers subside... send us pics and become immortalized in the Funky Fashion Hall of Fame!

UNRELATED NEWS YOU CAN USE
Just a tip for all you people out there who are wine freaks and might be passing through the State of Michigan. We found this little place during our travels that is located in Muskegon, Michigan that makes some positively KICK ASS wine! We bought a case of assorted fruit wine flavors from Clay Avenue Cellars for our staff party and WOW... it was like a fruity warm explosion. They don't sell their wine online from their winery yet - maybe one day they will - we hope, otherwise we're gonna load up a truck whenever we happen to take a road trip and get out that way again. Feel free to write to them and tell them you want to be able to buy their fruit wines online, and maybe that little Michigan winery will listen to what the people want!

If they were closer to us we would easily become certified winos. After work of course, we wouldn't want the fruit flies around the packing tables...

What fuels our FEVER for VINTAGE CLOTHES?


The DressThatMan warehouse was blessed with the most stupendous gift ever. A DeLonghi Magnifica Espresso machine.

Of course, we bought it for ourselves, which is sometimes the best way to get a gift - because you will get EXACTLY what you want. And, seriously all we can say is that it is simply marvelous.

If you're really into coffee, cappuccino, espresso, lattes... all of it. This machine is THE freakin' BOMB.

We've been through many pounds of illy espresso beans already, and just picked up another 5 pound bag of espresso beans from Starbucks. We've got the coffee bar fully stocked with various sugar free flavorings and every accoutrement you can imagine related to making the most exquisite coffee. We're so thrilled to have the coffee shop in-house, we thought we'd share.

High octane fuel behind the funky facade of DressThatMan.com! If you're looking for a high end machine that does exactly what the maker claims - grab this one.

70's Fashion Fiascos: Book Review


OHMAHGAWD! If you want to trip out and experience some of the seventies gaudiest fashions, then this book is a MUST HAVE for you. We laughed so hard we cried, and THAT was just at the photographs.

Packed full of 70's trivia for both Men’s and Women’s fashion, with tantilizing tidbits and cultural landmarks of the seventies, this book is a fun flashback for those who lived through the decade, and a complete trip for those who newly discover it. Author Maureen Valdes Marsh of Vintage Grace, tackles the subject with humor and warmth.

A bit of trivia gleaned from the book... “In 1974 alone, manufacturers were selling wholesale volumes of approximately $1.7 billion in leisure suits. At an average retail price of $79 to $100, that’s a lot of leisure suits in the closet.” According to the inflation calculator, those suits would now be worth between $330 and $420 in 2006! But, you men who want to get funked up and relive the decade can buy an authentic 70’s vintage leisure suit from DressThatMan.com for far less, but enough about us - let's get back to the book.

Vividly illustrated throughout its 112 pages, this pop culture book is perfect for honing your seventies look and as a reference to the most flamboyant fashion decade known to man, and woman - the 1970's.

As passionate devotees to men’s far out and funky attire, DressThatMan.com wallows in in that colorful polyester wonderland. Kudos to Maureen for giving the world this colorful book we love!

We LOVE you GUYS!

Thank you, Thank you.

You groovy, retro loving dudes out there made our October the most frenetic month on record at DressThatMan. You kept us hopping at such an amazing rate, that we were exhausted late into evening most days. There was lots of overtime here for everyone this month.

And, the reception we got from you made it all worthwhile. Some of you excitedly wrote once you received your orders, giving us the additional inspiration we needed to keep on keeping on. We truly appreciated it.

We expect to get some fabulous pictures from some of you to add to the Funky Fashion Hall of Fame and it’s an understatement to say that we’re very, very excited about that.

Our October 2006 site stats are amazing, and the month isn’t quite over yet. We’ve had over 300,000 pages looked at on the site so far this month, and over 60 THOUSAND visitors. Astonishing to say the least.

Disco shirts, flares and bellbottom pants, 70's platform shoes and polyester leisure suits were literally flying off the shelves. This month we dressed a bank president, some investment firm executives, college students, lawyers, hollywood A-listers, marketing professionals, musicians, a policeman, a firefighter, 2 doctors and, guys who just wanna have fun! Plus... many, many more. You guys ROCK!

We have so much cool stuff in the works behind the scenes, that we’re excited beyond words about the future of DressThatMan. We were so busy in October that there were many items that simply haven’t made it to the website yet because we didn’t have time it takes to prep and list all of them.

We’re so damn happy that our collective cheeks hurt from smiling. And, it’s all your fault. But, like Martha says... it’s a good thing.

To repay you, DressThatMan.com is gonna keep on keeping on in bringing you the best in Men’s Vintage Attire.

The best is yet to come!

Men: INCREASE YOUR HEIGHT

Stand tall, man.

We all cannot be Robert Wadlow, and really... how many of us aspire to be 8 foot 11 inches anyway? The fact is, we don't. But, some of us wouldn't mind being a few inches taller. Just to boost our confidence.

Whatever works, works. Mens platform shoes, elevator shoes, height increasing shoes, mens heels, inserts to give you lifts... whatever gets a rise out of you so you stand a little taller and feel more confidence, well Sir... it's all good.

Check out the vintage shoe section over at DressThatMan.com - while we are certainly known for clothing and attire that will funk you up in a flashy way, what you may NOT have noticed, is that certain styles of platform shoes - the ones that aren't overly exaggerated - they contain classic good looks to enhance your stance wherever you are.

We dig the classic leather platform wing tips with business attire and the more dressy casual look. The platform of the shoe itself in this particular wing tip style is relatively small in height and the heel is just right to boost you a few extra inches. These vintage shoes we're made back in the 70's and are great for the disco, but... unlike costume type platform shoes, they have classic good looks and can be worn by men who want to boost their height a bit all year round.

Check 'em out.
