"Why are you staring at my comfort pouch, Rick?"
"I was just wondering if you have it tucked in, Steve." Previously in: homoerotic vintage ads.
At that time this was considered bold, innovative. Today, we find it funny. I'm talking about both the underwear and the ad itself.
Munsingwear was a Minneapolis based knitting firm that from the late 19th century defined the cutting edge of undies innovation. Throughout most of the next century - until the factory closed in 1981 - it was instrumental in ushering in underwear's eventual transformation from pure functionality to real fashion statements.
The company took marketing/advertising to risque heights too, as it is evident from this as well as its other ads.
