The Man with Unfortunate Pants

This rear of this photograph is marked only with "1974," and "Thelma Blumberg," the photographer's name.  Not much is known about Ms. Blumberg except that she photographed in the Gaslight District of St. Louis in the 1960s and 1970s.  A Google search turns up a copy of  Life Magazine, in which she once had a photo published.  Even less is known about the man in this portrait, who probably was quite fashionable for the time.  Before you chuckle too heartily, take a look down at the pants that you're wearing today:  this could be you in 35 years.
