[i]WOW!  You guys took me back down memory lane!  I have a copy of the 1980 Danskin catelog and double-checked the men's dancewear with an eye on dance belts.  They had the 1100, which was listed as being made of nylon and rubber elastic.  They also listed a 1101, which according to the catelog was made of rubber and cotton.  Back in 1980, they had all kinds of dancwear for men listed in all kinds of colors.... several types of leotards, all kinds of tights,  and the two dance belts.  Now, they don't make ANY dancwear for men.  Too bad.  Their tights started to crap out sometime in the '80's as they seemed to switch to a thinner weave on their nylon.  I found a much older pair of men's tights at a thrift store that had a much older style Danskin label, so I don't know when it was manufactured.  However they are remarkably heavy and are not at all sheer.  Wish I had more of them.  <p>Also in the 1980 Danskin catelog, they had some unusual things for guys.  One that is modeled in several pictures are "semi-sheer" tights.  These are somewhat opaque over the feet and ankles, but become totally sheer as they are stretched tighter over the thighs and hips.  I don't know if that look ever caught on.  They also have a fellow modeling a long sleeve turtle neck zip-back leotard, showing that it is a unisex item.  I also remember on many Danskin packages of the time a note on sizing saying, "Men may require one size larger."  Those were the days!   Variety was all over the place for guys back then.  I also have some Taffy's catelogs from the early 80's and it is interesting to see the changes in what was available.<p>I also had one of the later thin elastic danskin dance belts you spoke of.  I am tall and back then was thin, but it was not a favorite of mine.  I also liked the Wendy Knits dancebelt you mentioned.<p>The last Danskin 1100 I found was at a Danskin outlet store in Las Vegas about six or seven years ago.  They were a size too small but I bought them anyway.  I used one, and sold the other to someone who put out a call looking for one.<p>Again, I am impressed with your contributions![/i]
