There are polyester pantsuits, but definitely no jumpsuits. I'm not digging those men's v-necks, though. I'm pretty sure I owned those embroidered pocket jeans. My mom bought all my clothes out of the Sears catalog and I was extremely unhappy about it.

No, there are polyester jumpsuits in that catalogue. They even named them "Traditional Jumpsuits!"
My grandfather wore jumpsuits like that in the early 70's when he was working in the yard. But he died in 1974, and I never saw anyone else wear those after. I *never* saw anyone wear jumpsuits like OP posted.
