Last week we took a hard-hitting look at some unthinkably perfect ’70s men’s fashion choices, and you’d better believe we were inspired.

And boy are they witty.

Truth be told, we’d wear a good number of these today. OK, all of them.

Scroll down for a rollicking good jaunt at the precursor to the annoyingly iconic “ironic tees” of the late 90s and early aughts, courtesy of the good folk at Dangerous Minds:
