On this day in 1935, what we now know as men’s classic briefs (tighty-whities) were first sold at Marshall Field’s department store in Chicago, Illinois. They named the new clothing item “The Jockey” because it provided similar support with its Y-shaped design as the well-established jockstrap with the added benefit of covering bum cheeks.
Music Du Jour: The top song of 1935 happens to be aligned with the holiday theme.
