Is this what Americans were unironically wearing in their free time in 1950's? Trousers, shoes and shirts? Around the house? Thank God for sweatpants. 1950's were trully awful and restrictive decade, muh protestant modesty and frugality and all.

Everything they’re wearing in the ad is appropriate. Idk what you’re on. Are you saying you wear sweatpants in the summer? Lol

Clothes fit better back then so to some degree you probably underestimate the comfort of them.

I live in the year 2020 and I hardly ever wear sweatpants. Only when I'm out running in the cold.

High-rise pants and higher armholes are two examples.
Shirts and jackets were typically slightly trickier to put on but fit better when they did.
For example if you look at old Fred Astaire movies he can dance around and put his arms right up without his jacket collar going halfway up his head.
And people were less fat so "lowest common denominator" fitting didn't have to account for so much flab.

Wear tailormade or tailored clothing and see for yourself
A bespoke suit isnt uncomfortable in the slightest

>> No.14908065

>>14908055
Surely not everyone had tailor-made clothing, didnt mass production make that the expensive alternative?
>>14908051
Those first two points, and the last one, do make sense so I'll take that, but as with the above I dont think most people had tailor made clothing. Although to be fair there were many less people in poverty so I guess it's possible

>>14908065
Yeah I'm not sure if that guy thinks everyone wore bespoke everything but you know most women would have known how to make shirts and pants for their husbands and children back then so that is kind of bespoke too.

Slacks and a collared shirt were the go-to casual outfit until the 1970s. Hell, even suits were considered casual wear for a long time, since they descended from riding gear.

Have you actually ever worn a shirt made out of a comfortable fabric? If you've only worn the t-shirts and casual shirts of some dollar store I can understand why you'd feel cotton sweatpants are the best you can get.
