In this instalment of Super
Clothes, we’ll take a look at some super PJs.
This long-sleeve
flannel-esque getup is size 3T. It’s by
Billy the Kid, from the 1980s. As an
aside ... did you know that the first time the real Billy the Kid was arrested,
it was for stealing clothes from a laundry?
Perhaps that story inspired
the name of the clothing line!
This Superman pajama set has
Velcro tabs for a cape. No manufacturer
label survives. It’s size 7. I like the depiction of Superman’s belt
across the front of the shirt, don’t you?
This set is from PCA, size
5. For the life of me, I’m not sure if
the “fly back in time” is an attempt to reference the Back to the Future
films. To me the Super Phizzog is reminiscent
of the work of Ross Andru, for instance this page from 1968’s Superman
204.
That’s all for this week,
friends. Come on back next Monday for
who knows what!
