"They're bad, they're mad, they're up front (but never out of sight)...and, of course, they're for men only...real men...the three-fisted variety." Amazing these didn't take off and become popular!
Well I'm going to offer a million internet dollars to the person who finds the patriotic U.S. Bicentennial version of that top outfit!!
Really though, what's with the chef top and the long apron piece--it just seems dangerous, like I don't think it's a great idea to take a long piece of fabric that could easily get stepped on, caught in doors or machinery, and then wrap it around your junk. And on top of that, it looks very sci-fi, like it's from an episode of Star Trek they weren't allowed to air.
exactly. you cant see it from the straight-front view, but the one that focuses on the codpiece you can see shadowing to tell that its pants.
i just wonder...did they add padding, like to codpieces, to indicate things were bigger than they were? and what about the poor guys who are growers, not showers?
okayyyyy I looked at it for way too long, because the white is so blown out against the background, and the only way I could make sense of it was that it was a long piece of white fabric draped down the front of black pants
but I get it now -- it's the inside of the leg that's white.
Okay, what humor magazine did the top one come from? Or was it something like Stag or whatever, that had humor pieces (apparently written, some of them, by guys who'd go on to work for National Lampoon) in between black and white photo spreads of the girl next door to the adult book store?
The name Irving Klaw sticks out because he photographed quite a few fetish pictures of Bettie Page (amongst other fetish models) and was tried in Supreme Court for it. (It was documented a bit in the movie The Notorious Bettie Page.)

"Who controls our clothing? If you notice, the clothing industry is dominated by homosexuals. They want men and women to look basically the same."
