Blast from the past: Vintage clothing and such

    Perhaps this should be on the "Why are you weird" thread, but here goes ...

    From the mid-80s until about 1999, I wore one kind of sneaker: Black Reebok Hi-top Ex-O-Fit. When the soles fell off in 1999, I was saddened to learn they no longer made them. But the other night, I decided to seek them out and bought three pairs, which should last me about six years. They are my Chuck Taylor All-Stars. Maybe it's stupid, but since I very rarely treat myself to anything fun, putting those shoes on Thursday evening really made my week.

    How about you? Is there some piece of clothing, like a jacket, hat or shoes that will forever stand the test of time and perhaps good taste with you?

    I love hoodies and I have owned at least one green one since I was 16.

    Do you wear leg warmers with those? ;D

    Birkenstocks and a Kavu cap have been in my wardrobe for more years than I want to admit.

    Started wearing these when I was about 11, and I haven't stopped. I'll be 40 in July.

    Two years ago, I added these to the repertoire, much to Jones' amusement.

    I have each in several different colors. Yes, I know I am unmanly, but hell with it.

    I think Chucks are totally hot.

    The Chuck Taylor slips are awesome. I own a couple pairs as well.

    When I was in high school, we used to wear a different colored Chuck on each foot. Are you starting to reconsider my sanity?

    I do pull of the Chucks with a sportcoat, though, better than most men. Although lately I have been wearing actual shoes a lot. My "Moo Shoes," which are a whole different story.

    I was just checking out your moo shoe link. Pretty sweet.

    But I heart the Chucks.
