The jockstrap, likely the most popular article of men's apparel on this blog, has been around in its modern form since the 1870s. (It can be argued that there were much earlier garments of the same purpose, but they were rather different.) Today we look at some early modern version from the period of 1900 to about 1920. We start with a very well built male.
I got paddled one time in high school gym for not wearing a strap. Interestingly enough our swimming classes were conducted buck naked. Back then, the Y was mandatorily naked, and college swimming classes as well. I only wore a strp when playing racquetball or flag football, etc.
