I remember these. They also had clouds on them, that was a popular design.

What great memories these shirts bring back. In the early 70's my late husband was in a rock band, he had several. I also had a few to match his, but more that didn't. I think at one time I had over fifteen of these lovely shirts. I even had two Nik Nik tshirts, which must be extremely rare, since I have never seen even one online. These tshirts were also made from a silky stretch material which fit tight. Now, I am down to nine shirts and two thirts. Some day soon I may offer my collection for auction. Since I may never fit into these small shirts again, may as well forward them to someone who can wear them as well as enjoy them. What a hoot to know they are still so popular, who knew?

Nik Nik shirst, WOW I still have them, sorry to say that they do not fit anymore. I was thinking of giving to a kid in the area that is until I saw the price they are getting now........Chess King jeans, the ones with the design down the side, and Nik Nik short, oh yes the CK were bell bottoms...and I still wear the bells now, just not the same size.........LOL

The wonderful polyester tight-fitting Nik Nik shirts were not "button down", as stated in the description. The writer must be thinking of the ill-fitting Brooks Brothers disco shirts.

i remember they came in plain colored pastel and print,their motto was "you will never see yourself coming and going in a nik nik"i wasnt a disco fan,but i would wear my nik nik to work with baggy khaki's and puma sneakers,i am now too fat to fit in a nik nik,but i wished i held onto them,sell them online.they were $60 back then

For some reason I suddenly remembered "Nik Nik" shirts, so I did a google search. I used to work for The Rebel Shop and we sold tons of Nik Nik's...and leisure suits! I had to have one, so I splurged and got a pink one with the profile of a woman with black hair. WHY did I give that away??? I could still wear it today, as I'm only 5 pounds heavier than I was in 1975. I'd love to find one. What a crack up. I LOVED my Nik Nik. BTW, I worked for Chess King in 1976. I disagree with ST54, as proof, you can see pictures of them on line.

I have been trying to find a particular Nik Nik shirt for a long time now. The shirt was a kind of royal blue and it had feathers-like on the shoulders in red, yellow, green, orange, purple etc. Anyone know of such a shirt? Thanks.

How about the one with the hands pulling the curtains aside with the 3 dancing ladies on back??

Mark i just got one of those designs you are talking about, bought on Ebay. But in brown, so sweet! Im looking at Nik Nik's often, so expensive but so super fresh! I love disco shirts, and Nik Nik is by far the best brand.

Hey Nik_Nik disco shirts are the bomb. Augie and Roland shirts had nice designs too I wore them back in the disco days, good times! Just bought the rooster one someone was mentioning above. Got it at DressThatMan.com mens vintage clothing. I also bought a pair of bell bottoms that still had the 70s tags on them. Now I can relieve my disco days in real style!!! Nik-Nik shirts by far had the coolest designs. I don't do ebay because i got burned there too many times good luck to those that like it

I used to work in the showroom for Nik-Nik in the early 70s and every single design literally flew out of there. We had collectors all over the US who wanted one of every shirt - it was a hoot. I had dozens myself as that was all we could wear to work every day - we even had pants to match!.

I was a disco demon back in the day. I was a budding designer and I loved the Nik Nik line. I managed to find some fabric prints similar to the Nik Nik look and made a few of my own shirts. Don't let anyone fool you, Nik Niks and the better shirts were made from NYLON not polyester. Nylon was much nicer to wear for dancing and sweating, poly just feels clammy. Long live disco and Nik Nik shirts.
