Aside from the Fedora I wear that kind of stuff every day. It just depends on what kind of job you do.AccursedTheory said:This is true,crimson5pheonix said:Nevermind that, we should bring back the fashion!
Hurray for suits and fedoras!
we need to bring back the classy attire, and live in a time where long jackets do not equally Emo/Homicidal Maniac.
It was cool for a little while but sometimes especially in the hot as hell summer it sucks.
Anyway I think this idea is Aces and hope it strikes lucky.
No, all people must adopt the Newfoundland dialect.
Repeat after me, "How's ya gettin on cocky?" How are you doing, friend.
"I's doin arite, how's you buddy?" I'm doing alright, how are you, buddy?"
"hows da yammy takin da winter reeves?" How is your Yamaha (snowmobile) handling the snow?
"It'd be arite but she hit a stag and I tore de arse rite out of er." It would have been alright but I hit a submerged rock and tore out the back end.
Now imagine all that but said like you were a half drunk Irish/Scottish and English mix that had just been smacked up side the head with a pipe.

I'm a Newfie, with the predominant Newfie background, Irish, Scottish and English, though I do apologize for the English...we try to forget that part. Alreeeet is definitely the Irish, but Newfie is a whole different breed of incoherency. So much so that I don't think I could translate any of the proper pronunciations through.PuffTheMagicDragon said:

the waistcoat helps with thatPuffTheMagicDragon said:
I also dig the flapper look. I'd be willing to go for it if it came back in style.
A fine hat, but it seems the greatest majority of people I seem to know who wear them are pretentious wankers. Especially people who wear them inside, that's just plain rude.Soviet Heavy said:
I second this motion! I'm trying to do my part were i live, i usually take any chance to wear a full suit, and were at the least a blazer, smart trousers and a waistcoat on as many days of the week possible.crimson5pheonix said:Nevermind that, we should bring back the fashion!

Reganomics dude! Wait, isn't that a more 80s thing to say? Bah, I have a hard enough time to keep up with the current slang (still don't get why being called a scrub is an insult). (however, I do tend to say awesome, tubular and neato in my daily conversation)ninjastovall0 said:
Plus, I enjoy wearing pants so I'm not really for bringing back the female's 20s style. I'm too much of a bearcat (or rather bird) to go along with that. However, seeing more guys in suits and fedoras would be the bee's knees.
