Remember this iconic t-shirt and briefs company?

Ever wonder what the letters BVD stand for?

Bradley, Voorhees, and Day, the founders of the company. (You never know when you just might need that little tidbit 😉)

Does the company no longer exist? It was such an iconic brand.

It was the definitive brand for men's undergarments in the US in the '50s and '60s. I wore them in the late '80s.

Nothing gets between me and my BVDs.

@Iwillwait I recall that phrase but I can't find it in vintage BVDs ads. Seems Brooke Shields and C. K. co-opted that slogan. "Nothing gets between me and my Calvins." 🤔
