I wish to start a petition for the statutory banning, in the US of A, Canada, Oz, New Zealand, South Africa and the UK, of baseball caps and sneakers (whether worn together or separately and, whether worn with any other clothing or not). Sign up in this thread.

Fuck off. A good ball cap is fantastic.
All I ask of society, is to let me live:
Give me the papers, conversation, music, mutton, coffee, landscape, fruit in the season, a few sheets of Bristol-board, and a little claret, and I ask no more. I say to the world, “Go your several ways in peace! Wear red coats, blue coats, lawn sleeves, put pens behind your ears, wear aprons; go after glory, holiness, commerce, trade, any object you prefer; only—let Jeff Reed live!
The above may be influenced (plagiarized) from some 19th century hack.
I now live in a valley so deep that there is no television without punitive cost.
I'll leave you all to fruitlessly care about the rest of the world.
I'll never hear you in my valley.
The Blackberries will soon be ready. The Trout was amazing this lunchtime.
Shalom.
Tattersall shirt & Boatshoes.
How about those shoes that have the squared-off toes? Can we ban them? Or at least make them available by prescription only.
There were three Mexican guys in the store the other day. They had on cowboy boots with elongated, turned up toes. Like elf boots almost. They looked weird, but you could tell that they were really well-made shoos, nice leather, silver accents; they looked pretty damned expensive. One of my coworkers was ranking these poor guys to the dogs and back (not to their faces, obviously) by making fun of their boots. I looked down and saw he was wearing those square-toed monstrosities.
I had to walk away to keep from stabbing him in the jaw with a box cutter.
You at least should have dick punched him.
Anything with a logo
Beanies.
I detest beanies.
lol.
I'm old enough and have made enough money to truly not give a flying f#ck and just wear what gives me pleasure.
Curiously I find myself overdressed (tastefully or not I'll let others judge) for most occasions, and curioserly I find myself making others uncomfortable (judging by their comments encouraging me to "relax"- as if!)
FNB is right- sloppy dressing is the new conformity and it is not fueled by the need to feel at ease but by a massive inferiority complex and fear of failure at something as personal and mundane as dressing up.
And as far as a successful man dressing down... its as much a wasted opportunity as eating bad food, driving a junk heap, or living in a run down house-all point to a serious case of confusion about life, false modesty, or a misplaced sense of guilt.
But what the hell, let them wear what they want. It gives me a smug, warm and fuzzy feeling looking at all the schmucks.
I just wore my STL Cardinals cap to the coffee shop for coffees and cigs. I love being an American. No need to comb my hair after waking.
Hear, hear. I'm wearing a Patagonia cap as we speak.
