Back To The 80's I Go..........

I dressed for comfort and functionality. Still have the Durango boots I got in 1976 for MC riding, and they still look good and fit well.

I've been a Wrangler jeans guy my whole life. Ridiculed when the fad was Levis. I didn't care then and I don't care now.

50 years later...I was correct. Levis is a leftist commie outfit and Wrangler is the clear choice of patriots and rodeo cowboys.

I stopped wearing Levis in the '80's when they were twice what Wrangler or Rustler's were. Now all my stuff is pretty much Wrangler, jeans or cargo pants/shorts.

I still have one of these too.

I wore Levis for decades, started buying Wranglers, frankly, when I got old enough that I didn't really care about stuff like that anymore. Having said that, when I was younger, Wranglers were very stiff right off the shelf. Most of them are not like that anymore. So Levi's, in addition to being way more expensive now, more expensive than comparable Wranglers, have the added problem of them wading into leftist politics. They spend their profits on anti-gun politicians. Done with them. Have bought Lee jeans in the past, too. I usually just get whatever is cheaper and more readily available.

I imagine a fair sampling of young men who wore Levi’s and earth shoes along with a members only jacket…are homosexuals today. Or already dead from the aids.

I might be the uncoolest Only had two jackets in the 80's. Black leather for motorcycling and an M65 Camo for hunting.

[Vette40th]

I had a couple. If anyone wants to get rid of one, XL, pm me.

Just ordered another one.

Lee's or Wrangler never fit me, Levi's did so I've been wearing them forever. I don't watch TV so am unaware of the political controversy. That and I don't care. Making minor purchase decisions based on politics?

I own 10+ pairs of Wrangler cargo shorts, bought all at wm for $15, those things are VALUE!!

They are my new work attire, the suits and slacks in the closet are gathering dust,,, as are the oxfords and french cuffs,,, I am at the age that I only wear long pants to weddings and funerals.

I foresee a day in the near future when wearing the Flag pattern and the letters 'USA' will be a felony, at least in blue states.
The blm and rainbow flag will replace Old Glory at schools and public buildings.
The military uniform will be devoid of our flag too.

Yep. I imagine wearing this would be like wearing a mink coat at a PETA protest.

There was a time when even leftists stood for the Star Spangled Banner, and the flag. That time is not now.

Jimi Hendrix - The Star Spangled Banner [ National Anthem ] ( Live at Woodstock 1969 ) - YouTube

And the interesting thing is, these leftists who are visibly shaken by the sight of the US flag, are ALSO visibly shaken by the sight of the Confederate battle flag. Go figure. Apparently the only acceptable flags for the left these days are the fag flag, the blm flag, and the Ukraine flag. Wait until they find out Ukraine is full of white people!

Interesting BS I saw on Fox last night. Some MSM clowns talking about the violence/riots in Atlanta and saying that the definition of violence is being blurred because it's just property. Destruction of property isn't violence.

So if you are keeping score at home, a quick review.

Addressing someone by other than their chosen pronoun - IS violence. It has been stated and reported as such many times. WORDS are violence.

Torching vehicles and buildings - is NOT violence.

We are expected to believe that liberalism isn't a mental disorder.

Same here. Haven't put on a suit in 15 months. Have the Wrangler cargo pants on now because I had to run errands, but they are coming off and being replaced with sweats as we speak. I would say 5 days a week since I retired it's sweats and sneakers for comfort. In hot weather, it's shorts and tank tops.
It is a luxury not having to dress daily, one that I didn't appreciate until it became the norm!!
