Steve, thanks for your series on underwear fashions and International Male.

I remember International Male very well, and very much enjoyed their catalogs before the enterprise was sold to Hanover House and the whole thing changed dramatically, from the design and content of the catalogs to the clothing items themselves.

Although no longer in operation (as far as I know) and somewhat harder to research are two other suppliers of men's clothing, with specialization in underwear. that were very active in the 1960s and 1970s. They are Ah Men Clothing, which also had a retail shop just a block or so from International Male in West Hollywood, Parr of Arizona.

I remember receiving, and jerking off to, catalogs from both companies in the '70s.

Thank you Bob for the tips on the other companies-I had not heard of them but will now check them out.

Monkey Mark-thank you for ID'ing the model as Brian Buzzini. I'm sorry but I have to remove your comment because Google computer program drones usually view links inserted into a comment as spam.
