Favorite Don Era

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Funny, as I recall, these 'man-blouses' were very popular in the 70's. I remember seeing lots of guys wearing them, in person and on TV. In fact, I'm pretty sure my ex husband had at least one. They weren't very popular where I grew up, though Don certainly sports that look now. (Flannel or flannel-looking, depending on whether it's winter or not. 40 years later and it's still the popular style there).

Funny, I don't remember ever seeing a man wear one back then! Maybe city boys? I'm from the rural midwest! Someone might get hurt wearing a manblouse around here!

Now, the plaid flannels are a different story. This is redneck country!

That is too funny. Manblouse Reminds me of the Seinfeld puffy shirt.

I lived in Michigan at the time and remember a lot of workshirts (like the other guys had on in the OTB poster) and plenty of plaid, but not too many manblouses on guys.

I must say though, as much as I've kidded about it, Don did wear it well!

I do remember seeing the occasional man-blouse back in the day, but it was definitely among the hippie crowd - not a real popular fad in the red neck community.

And I agree, Don pulled it off beautifully!

now I am going to look at pics of my parents lol I was born in 1971 so I was a late in getting interested in the eagles lol so I missed all the 1970's stuff I think I was a teen when I heard Henley and Frey on our local radio stations but I have caught up lol

Hmmm, my hubby was nearly as much of a hippie as anyone around here and none of them had a manblouse! He now seems to have morphed in to more of a redneck.

But, I do agree too, that Don wore it well!

check out you tube : don henley, end of the innocence ,farm aid ,1990. he was so way beyond cool in his pony tail era!! that is my favorite don era. also love his afro days in the 70s. i assume his afro was the real deal . cant find out any info about it being real or not. wasnt everyone back then getting perms??? or was that the 80's. im sure it was the real deal.....

[Brooke]

It was the 70's. I think it was a perm cause when he let his hair get long later it wasn't frizzy. And it isn't now either. We discussed this a while back, but am too lazy to go find it! Even if it was a perm, it looked fabulous!

I actually talked my hubby and my brother in to getting afro perms! They looked good but, they both shudder at the sight of one of those old pics now!

A perm? It looks so natural !

I was wondering how his hair changed so drastically. But I would have never guessed a perm, it stayed the same for a long time...Whatever though I preferred the long hair days, but it would have been better then with his goatee..
