The DORCUS COLLECTION

[NewMexExpat]

"Doc, the last time I saw an outfit like that . . ."

Funny, funny STUFF.

 

[Dixon Cannon]

That's DIXON Cannon to you sir...

Oh, definitely.

Go back to the opening post: you'll see that "The Chap" website is credited. The "Dorcus Collection" material was found at "The Chap" website by Dixie Cannon, who posted a link to it in an FL section that is closed to unregistered viewers.

I thought all the 'Chaps' would get a big kick out of this site! I've had it bookmarked for a couple of years now. I howl everytime I pull it up again. Some of those descriptions are just classic, aren't they?!! Man I wonder where some of those models are and if they've ever seen themselves on those pages!!!?? Wouldn't you just want to hide your head in shame??!!

Glad everyone is enjoying this so much! -dixon cannon

You mean Shaft.

But that was done in 1971. You are really on the cusp there.

Honestly, I don't think that this look is half bad.

*runs away*

I'll run along side you. I think this is a relatively timeless sporty look. Isn't that jacket almost identical to what some of our 50s-themed members would wear?

He looks an awful lot like Kevin Keegan did back then ...

It's hard to tell from the photo about the jacket. I think the main problem would be with the bell bottomed trousers (and the long hair...silly Hippies... )

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Is it, in fact, one of the Bay City Rollers? I recall a photograph of them very similar to that one ...

This looks like it's directly from a Bill Burroughs book.

My dad has one of those! I believe it was referred to amongst his hippie crowd as an "Afghan". And he hangs around building sites wearing it!!!

Well, it was inspired by a 50's "Ike" or short jacket... it is a little on the long side (Low waisted) and has a 70's touch to it. The pants and the hair is all wrong... now, if he wore the right kind of pants and had hair like Desi Arnez, well, it wouldn't look so tacky.

Don't know what you're all laughing at. I wore all of that and was proud!

All I can say is:

 

[Lincsong]

Yes. Cheryl Tiegs and Bo Derek.

[Marc Chevalier]

And Farrah Fawcett was impressive for the time.
