EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 1970s, we catch a glimpse of the fashion trend that had everyone in stitches - the Tee Hee shirts. It seems that some people will go to great lengths for a good laugh, and these T-shirts became their weapon of choice. Designed with fun and quirky prints, they quickly became a top-selling garment among trendsetters of all ages. The mastermind behind these crude yet hilarious designs is Bob Lange, a 28-year-old entrepreneur based in North London. Alongside his brother, he runs a successful business that thrives on pushing boundaries and tickling funny bones. Their £1.75 shirts have become wildly popular among teenagers and young adults, allowing Mr. Lange to indulge in expensive cigars and drive an extravagant car. Even Butlins holiday camp couldn't resist joining in on the laughter sparked by these shirts. A spokesperson from the camp expressed their amusement at this comical fashion statement, highlighting the importance of being able to laugh at oneself. This snapshot captures not only a moment in time but also reflects society's desire for humor and self-expression through clothing during the 1970s. As we admire this vintage photograph, it serves as a reminder that sometimes all it takes is a simple tee shirt to bring joy into our lives – even if it means embracing our silliest side!
