What you'll find here:

This blog is a collection of vintage advertisements, posted Monday through Friday. All ads are scans from magazines in my collection (or those of my friends), so I claim no copyright over them. Remember, these ads are from bygone eras: don't get upset if you see something you don't like, nor excited if you see something you do.

If you particularly like an ad and want a hi-res copy for yourself, email or message me and I can send you one.

Wrights Slacks

Playboy Sept. 1966
Why is this guy so short?  Or is the girl a giant?  Why is he so adamant about his pants?  I mean, that girl is attractive enough that if she came along offering to iron my pants, I'd let her.  Anything for you, doll.  Though I'm not sure we can trust her; look at that cord wrapped around her ankle.  Accident waiting to happen.   At this point, I'm not sure if this ad is using misogyny as a means of selling pants, or if its a humanitarian effort to save clumsy co-eds from iron cords.

Twofer Tuesday - Jade East

Playboy Sept. 1964
Fun fact:  I found a set of Jade East cologne in an antique store recently... they smell pretty awful.  
Maybe it's because they're old?  Do colognes go bad?

Dickies Slacks

Playboy Sept. 1964
Is a "campus tiger" an escaped zoo animal, or a sexual predator? 
Because I'm kinda getting both from this ad.

Campus slacks

Playboy Oct. 1968
   I think the first thing is that the girl's dress gets wet?  I guess so it gets clingy, and we can steal middle-schoolish glances at her bosom? Tee-hee!

I'd also point out that these pants are SO GOOD that they even keep his shirt and hair perfectly dry as well.

Broomsticks Slacks

Playboy Sept. 1964
     OH NO!  That woman is kneeling on that tiny man's shoulder!  Really though, you'd think they could have tried a little harder to edit the man into a more believable position, instead of obviously in the foreground of this picture.   Regardless, I thought this was an interesting ad since it appears to be advertising both the pants and the Mustang.
