Gay clothing stores first started appearing in American cities in the 1960s. They were usually owned and run by gay men that used to be involved with the mainstream fashion industry. What set these stores apart was that they tended to sell and design male clothes that were shape hugging and/or revealing at a time when mainstream men's fashion looked down on this. By the 1980sthe fashion industry started to incorporate gay men's fashion sense and thus make it mainstream. At this point many of the original gay men's clothing stores started to close.

Among the most popular of these stores were:

Ah Men Shop for Men

All American Boy

The Casual Man

Conrad Germain Designs

The Haberdashery

International Male

Malepak

The Man's Boutique

My Mother Lives in Cincinatti

That Look Clothing Store

Town squire

Undergear
