BOTANY 500 MEN'S VINTAGE BLAZER
The one clothing company pretty much dressed every man on TV in the '60s and '70s
Half a century ago, a sign hung on the corner of the Daroff & Sons building, stretching six stories up its brick side. "Home of Botany 500," it read. The name will likely ring a bell for anyone who grew up watching game shows and reruns. It popped up in countless closing credits. Richard Dawson wore Botany 500 on Family Feud. Jim Perry slipped into their crisp suits for Card Sharks. As you can see in the images up top, Maxwell Smart (Don Adams), Mannix (Mike Connors), Steve Trevor (Lyle Waggoner) and Rob Petrie (Dick Van Dyke) all donned Botany 500 suits
That list is just the tip of the cuff sticking out of the sleeve. Botany 500 outfitted Danny Thomas on Make Room for Daddy, Dick Sargent on Bewitched, Brian Keith on Family Affair, Conrad Bain on Maude, Telly Savalas on Kojak and more. Heck, Botany 500 even slapped its name on the sides of race cars, as it sponsored Corvettes in the prestigious Le Mans race.
The company's sartorial sway over sitcoms stretched further than the Botany 500 brand. There was a sister brand, also manufactured by Daroff & Sons, called Worsted-Tex. You'll find their name in credits for The Odd Couple, Mission: Impossible, Mary Tyler Moore Show, and more.
Though the clothes were stitched together in Philly, Botany Industries was based in New York.
