It’s amazing what a time capsule these old catalogs can be. My wife and I found a 1982 Sears catalog on a shelf at her parents’ summer cottage this year and we spent a long time reliving our elementary school memories. The appliance section alone looked like the stock of every shitty college apartment we ever saw.

What is a dazzling urbanite like yourself doing in such a rustic setting?
Groovy threads!
I grew up in the 70s and JC Penny clothes were certainly a magnet to draw some pretty brutal ‘ribbing’.
Is that Stanley on the right? “Fighting the power and eating whatever we want!”
Do they sell the gold-fish shoes with that? Inquiring minds.
People are too fat to wear this stuff now
These are some bad mamma jamma’s
Get out the Superfly vinyl.

This has the Garanimals with the matching tags vibe
My mom for all her amazing qualities, was horrible at clothes color choices. My K-3rd grade was full of matching tags

To borrow my dad’s old joke, “I hope their shoes are waterproof because those pants are pissers.”

Majority of men today would need a maternity version of high rise pants like these to fit in.
I remember my dad showing me his year books from the mid 70s when I was a kid. I saw the kids with the plaid flairs and said “haha I found the nerds”.
My dad said “those were the coolest kids in school.” Lol.
He was wearing high water jeans from 2 growth spurts ago so he never got the chance to be one of them.
Gotta say the shoe game was on point back then.
Pimpin’ ain’t easy, but JC Penny made it a little easier.
Lookin fly
And they all look fucking fabulous.
The disco era. It’s seared into my long-term memory to this day and no amount of injected bleach can get it out.
plaid was rad
Red Lion shirt on the left still goes hard af
Clicked through to mock whatever photo J. C. Penny was going to have circulated in the 1970s. Stayed to upvote; it’s time we bring back this look.
Can we talk about those gorgeous ‘fros?

Fun Fact… The Mothership J.C. Penney store is still in operation! Located in Kemmerer, WY since 1904.
