As a kid, it was an awful lot of corduroy pants and button up shirts. Rust colored seemed to be frequently worn.
Now it depends on the season. We have two here. Hot and cold.
In cold I'm wearing jeans, thermal under shirts with some type of long sleeve. And usually a heavy oil skin coat with wool lining.
In hot I'm usually wearing lightweight khaki pants or shorts and Hawaiian shirts. Hiking shoes or sandals if I'm lounging at home.
Some sort of rum drink is usually part of either outfit I miss corduroy pants! They were nice in the winter.

Well, it's kinda fashion. Back before Jeans were pre-shrunk,you had to buy them several sizes too large and too long. You'd have to cuff the legs until they shrank enough. Wear suspenders until the waist fit, then a belt. If Mom guessed wrong you might not be able to get them on or you might have high water Jeans.
Cuffs were kinda fashion positive until about 1960, after that cuffs were considered low class (locally).

Apparently. This is this years "must have" mens swimwear ![[Linked Image]](http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b489/jrobb400/0BF37C53-8F43-4420-B0F0-5FFDFF224345_zps1gnjmfet.jpg) where do you suppose they anchor the other end of that? Judging by the two pictured it would probably be with an eight inch piece of plastic jammed up the coit.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Seems about 20 years ago when the American truckers gave up their Levis, cowboy shirts, and boots; morphed into the American slob look with baggy ass, multi pocket shorts, oversize T-shirts, and those god awful, seldom tied Reeboks and Nikes with the big tongues hanging out.

Believe me, when you are sitting in a truck for most of the day you are looking for as much comfort as possible...and preferably some sort of footwear that doesn't make your feet stink. In a truck, comfort is king. Ps, be aware that I am referring to Semi trailers which I think you lot call tractor-trailers...God alone knows how you get "tractor" out of a cab-over or bonneted truck I have no idea.

Well I am pretty much a Flanel shirt and Blue jeans sort of guy always has been. As for shoes, either Bean boots or a good work boot for general wear and Good Packs for hunting. I like simms stocking foots now a days, but spend a decade and a half in a pair of neoprene stocking foots from Thomas and Thomas and a boot that Danner use to make, then don't anymore, they were one of the best I ever owned it took me 15 years of hard fishing to wear them out. I get piss off If I have to buy clothes more often than 5 to 10 years. A lot of the stuff I buy as far as cloths go, don't last like they did in the pass. I think I am just going to just save more for cloths and buy nothing but Filson!

That goofy swimwear might be ok for guys with "shortcomings" but those of us that were "more gifted at birth" would struggle to contain ourselves in such a marble sack.
