I think it's compensating for the complete lack of bulge in his trousers.

[yumenohogosha.livejournal.com]

If you have any left, give me some! I clicked the link below and watched the video! Do anyone remember Flagg Bros.? I think they sold similar styled clothes...

YES!!! My classmates used to bring those catalogs to school. So it really DID happen.....

[sp23.livejournal.com]

I think I saw that outfit in a bad, futuristic 1950s sci fi movie. LOL

[write-light.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Now I know what inspired SPACE: 1999.

[hostilemakeover.livejournal.com]

I wish we could find a color copy of that catalog...

[craving-vintage.livejournal.com]

My goodness, that collar!

[craving-vintage.livejournal.com]

Check this out! An article and video and other stuff too.

Yeah, I was going to mention that Eleganza seemed to morph into a pimp-style label in the 70s:

Nine inch dog collar! LOL

Yes, hello, Time-Traveling Fashion Police, Special Crimes Unit? I have an emergency.

[freezer.livejournal.com]

Yes, kiddies; there was once a time where this was The Fashion Sex.

[tudorlady.livejournal.com]

And young folks think 70s styles are cool. Having been a shy adolescent who wanted to be as invisible and non-dorky as possible in 1972, I can tell you this triggers some ugly flashbacks >:\

[evilfoo.livejournal.com]

remember HASH JEANS?

[ladycakes.livejournal.com]

I always wondered if they came with a giant Goody comb in the back pocket.

[tudorlady.livejournal.com]

No, what were they? Just getting to wear jeans **at all** was a huge battle back then...

[evilfoo.livejournal.com]

IIRC, huge bell bottoms with a ... STAR embroidered on the back seat. I think they were fairly adrogynous? I lived up in the backwaters of northern minnesota, and was in grade school during the 70s, but I remember the cool kids/neighbors having them.

"Dashing" is like "Classy." If you have to tell people that it is, then it isn't.

[cactuswren.livejournal.com]

Or, for that matter, "elegant".

[cionaudha.livejournal.com]

Yes to all of the above. But guys? I really need those shoes.

[bluebear2.livejournal.com]

Zylor is all knowing. Zylor is our leader.

[hazeltea.livejournal.com]

Sir, I could not advise it.

[dandyads]

Oh god he looks like some kind of tv space space explorer getting ready to go to a gay disco on Mars.

[bluebear2.livejournal.com]

Oh puh-lease. If he was going to a gay disco he'd never wear those lapels.

Well, unless Mars was stuck in the '70s.

[ladycakes.livejournal.com]

Eleganza is such a draggy name.

[murakozi.livejournal.com]

Well now we know where Captain Scarlet did all his clothes shopping.

If it wasn't located in the US, I'd be inclined to think that Gerry and Sylvia Anderson were behind the company.

Dooooeeees.. yoooouuuuur....

...collar hang low, does it wobble to-and-fro, can you tie it in a know, can you tie it in a bow...

[franklanguage.livejournal.com]

We used to sing, "Do your tits hang low, do they wobble to and fro..."

[dinosaurbob.livejournal.com]

The only thing that collar would be good for would be tying it in a knot to choke the life out of anyone who would wear that!

That's a summary execution order from the fashion police of *any* era.

[bzul.livejournal.com]

More than a collar, it's a handy "wanker yanker". Official hooligans and unofficial fashion police of all kinds could use it to demonstrate their opinions and cast their "no" votes with full emphasis.

"Do you not find my penis-like collar sexy?"

Costume designs for an extremely low-budget 1972 movie set in 1982.
