Just remembered that I have a good selection of Aids dating from 50's, 60's and 70's in my files. Can't remember where I got them from though!
Looking at '63 reminded me that when I was a lad of 15/16 I ordered one of these 'Maestro DeLuxe' tracksuits -
Going by the illustration, I was certain, that on receipt of this wondrous garment, I would have been immediately transformed from a gawky bespectacled schoolboy to a svelt and sophisticated international track star. The reality was that, on me, nothing could have been further from the truth. Rather than the figure hugging streamlined garment shown and despite Holdsworth's statement that baggy suits were no longer offered, it was baggy and ill-fitting and a rather severe dissapointment. It did however, reinforce my Mother's strongly held opinion that buying anything mail-order was always bound to lead to tears!
