Velour hot pants. Montgomery Ward has given the fabric and the weather something to negotiate.

This original 1970s ad promotes a HotPants jumpsuit in Celanese Arnel triacetate and nylon under “Velour: some like it hot.” The combination is wonderfully specific to the fashion mood of the period. A fun dressing-room or textile-history piece for anyone who appreciates an outfit with the confidence to ignore a few practical questions.

THE DETAILS:

• Original period magazine page, sold unframed.
• Approximate size: 10 × 13.5 inches; portrait orientation.
• Approximate date: 1970s.

Condition: Vintage page with mild age toning and light edge wear; inspect photos for details. The exact page pictured is the one you will receive.

I carefully trim each page, place it in a protective sleeve with a sturdy backing board, and pack it with bubble wrap in a sturdy box. You’ll receive the original page shown in the photos, not a reproduction.

Framing: Vintage magazine sizes vary. Use the measurement-mat photo as a size reference, and choose a larger frame with a mat cut to fit this particular page.

I white-balance the photos to show the original colors as accurately as possible. Colors can still vary with your screen settings.
