Winterlight: They're wearing onions on their belts these days, too?

Pfft... the kids are always trying to wear onions now a days. What matters is that the onion is not white because of the war.

She attempted to get me to wear some skinny jeans 4 or 5 years ago. Those things somehow ended up on the burn pile in the back yard.

kozlo: I've collected a sizable number of suits from thrift stores and had them tailored for me. Ballin retro suits for every fancy function. Thanks grandpas of yesteryear.

The good stuff is getting harder to find. The old-school guys started dying off in the '80s. Prime thrift-shopping then. My best find was a Pendleton wool plaid dinner jacket with black velvet lapels.

ShavedOrangutan: Realized yesterday that my personal style is a mix between "Vincent and Jules after Mr Wolf gets done with them" and "assistant football coach running pre-season drills". When does that come into style?
This never goes out of style. Now TAKE A LAP.

So I should wear Yellow, Red, or do i wear one of each to be all inclusive?
back in the day you just grabbed an Onion and put it on, now all this fuss.

That's awesome. Mine is a Shep Miller pinstripe wool suit - I got it as a gag to be a "hockey coach" for an intramural hockey team my friends were on, but the older I got it turned into a legit meetings-and-interviews suit and I get a lot of compliments with it. Sad that it's harder to find cool stuff thrifting...

WonderDave1: I suspect they could have looked a little harder for a good picture of someone in a zoot suit. Like, maybe one where you can see the pants they talk about in the blurb??
The original style, in a not uncommon scenario

55 year old me, pulling on shorts to mow the lawn and realizing I'm wearing dress socks: Eh, fark it.

But the crafty textile and clothing industries will make minor variations to catch out people who dig in the back of their closets or into storage chests or boxes. Fashion repeats itself with variations.

Well, when I worked an office job for ten years I did wear Dickies slacks and tucked in work shirts. Still had the boots. The cargo pants were my play pants. Now they're all I wear. Switched to steel toes as well as work demanded.
But yeah, my "style" hasn't really changed since I was 15 or 16. And the biggest change then was that I stopped wearing jeans, can't stand those things. When I left my office job I had ten years of jeans day stickers in my desk.

My wife went to a church thrift store and bought a Suit for me to wear to a Funeral. ( Due to my Courier work I was on the road.)
Long story short, My Wife and the Little old Lady found a wonderful Suit that fit perfect.
I've worn it to a Wedding and a Funeral, Hopefully the next Funeral isn't my own.

Vern: I just started wearing green cargo pants (running the gamut from olive green to light green, even up to beige), plain black, or red, blue or beige Dickies work shirts, and boots when I was in high-school. Twenty years later, that hasn't changed.

shiat, meant to say plain black or red t-shirts. With hi-vis yellow added in later, as a career change required.
