Opened in 1973 by gay pioneer Chuck Renslow, Man’s Country was more than a bathhouse—it was a sanctuary, a stage, and a sexual playground all in one. Located on Clark Street in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood, it combined steamy saunas with live entertainment, leather nights, dance floors, and drag shows. Everyone from Sylvester to Grace Jones to Bette Midler graced its stage, while countless men found connection, freedom, and joy within its walls. After over four decades of service to the community, Man’s Country closed in 2017. Its memory lives on as a cornerstone of queer resilience, liberation, and unapologetic pleasure.
I use Bella + Canvas 3001 Unisex tees for all of my designs. They are a soft and light cotton. If you love another brand, please let me know and I can see if I can source it. I can also do my designs on tanks, long sleeve tees, sweatshirts, hoodies and posters. Just reach out with any custom requests and I'll gladly help you out. I do like large prints, but if you want the design scaled down, please contact me before placing an order and I can send you some mock ups.
