Vintage JoAnn

Every day is an adventure at Vintage JoAnn as I never know who or what  is going to come strolling through my door.  Today a good friend stopped by and dropped off a load of the most bodacious men’s 1970′s shirts.  Cotton and polyester, long pointy collars, tapered fit, from an era when some men’s clothing rivaled woman’s in outragousness.

Retro prints galore, takes you back to those disco nights.  I grew to adulthood in the 70′s and remember when…

The guys in my high school and my boyfriend (future husband) sported these beauties worn tight with several upper buttons undone with their bell bottomed pants which were often cuffed and usually dragging on the ground over big chunky boots and shoes with platforms.

My hubby never sported the platforms but he did rock the rest.  Also in his defence, he never sucumbed to the leisure suit fad, although my brother in law’s graduation picture shows him wearing a particularly fetching baby blue polyester one.

Oh, and of course don’t forget that the really cool guys had rather longish hair then, cut in feathered shags that went past their collars.  Facial hair was big too, with big bushy mustaches and long sideburns,

I even remember some of the younger teachers in my high school looking like this. Oh My…..

Anyhow , all you groovey guys out there who need duds for your 70′s party or who just like to keep your friends on edge with your cool vintage clothing, We have quite a offering for you.

Oh great, now I have a bee gees song in my head that won’t GO AWAY!
