Today, I came across some cool scans of a old latex fashion catalog from INN-SKIN, a latex vendor that existed back in the 70′ties. I took the scans and generated a flash version of the catalog. Originally the catalog came as individual pages for a ring binder, as INN-SKIN wanted to be able to update or add pages easily.
It’s funny and enlightening to flip through the catalog as it gives an interesting view into the history of latex fashions. Some of the over 30 years old styles looks hilarious today, wile others haven’t changed much.
The styling of the old photos is really funny! My favorites are:
- Climbing in trees wearing a latex catsuit - page 13!
- Super stylish Chinaman latex outfit - page 15!
- Lying in front of the open fireplace in latex - page 20!
- Having the gang over for a latex picnic/barbecue - page 21!
I haven’t been able to find much about INN-SKIN, so please leave a comment if you know anything about the company, who owned it, how long did it exist, and so on.

Friggin hilarious!
Great post!
Very cool!
Inn-Skin may have been my first clue that rubber clothing existed. They ran a few adds for latex swimsuits in some mainstream women’s fashion magazines that my mother used to subscribe to, and which I spotted. This was in the 1970’s and was after I had discovered my love for skin-tight restrictive clothing, but before I knew there were A) other rubber fetishists and B) companies making rubber clothes for us pervs, however disguised.
