Now that’s what I call jockey shorts! These men’s beige polyester cotton hipster underpants were made to promote Phar Lap, the 1983 feature film about the famous racehorse, directed by Simon Wincer. Acquired by the NFSA from publicist Annette Berry, these undies were a promotional item sent to key media before the film’s release.
