The fucking noise those pants made every step you took was an absolute sensory nightmare.

[-] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 months ago

That was cool back then. Remember corduroy?

I had successfully blocked it from my memory until just now.

Oh Jesus, that and velvet. Fuck velvet! Whoever decided they should sell shirts made of that goes to itchy hell.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Velvet sport coats are pretty slick. I have one.

My wife fucking loves wearing whooshy pants like those. No idea why, she just does.

[-] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

It frightens the cats.

In retrospect, it's no wonder my favorite colors were purple and teal as a kid. All my swishiest outfits had those colors.

Wind breakers is just another way of saying "people who fart"

[-] Jilanico@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

That term is now forever ruined for me ๐Ÿ˜…

[-] guyrocket@kbin.social 8 points 4 months ago

Break like the wind

[-] Cipher22@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Ok, fine, there is one place I'll give Russia credit on.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

We didn't just fight it, we broke it! They're not called windfighters.

[-] mPony@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

yeah if you wanted to actually fight something on that kind of scale, as opposed to breaking it, you had to wait about 10 years for Foo to show up

[-] 800XL@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

I fucking miss windbreakers.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

They still sell them. You can get everything from a $10 Walmart jobbie, all the way up to an $800 Arctryx meant for climbing K2.

Oh no now you've gotten to the area of sports coats. There are people who know way too much about sports coats and have way too much of an opinion about which one's good and which one isn't.

[-] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 2 points 4 months ago

I bought one. A few years ago. I wore it like twice, because it gets super hot in there.

My, my, my... Music is. So hard!

I swear the woman on the right in pink is my aunt. I'm sure I have a picture of her looking exactly like that.

[-] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Is your aunt Keri Russell?

[-] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

We used to call them shell suits and as a bonus they were highly flammable

[-] niktemadur@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

BE KIND, REWIND!
Re-wind? Who fights the wind?
THE WINDBREAKER!

[-] Shardikprime@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago
