Damart advertisement, I was interesting to discover that an emporium once noted for its refined and conservative taste and (in the Gents Department) unquestioned machismo...
...was unwittingly pushing at the closet door back in the 1950s!

(I'm ashamed to admit I missed the pun in the title until I got to the comments page! It's perfect!)
Great ad though there's an awful lot of starch in those shorts....
