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

That was cool back then. Remember corduroy?

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

Velvet sport coats are pretty slick. I have one.

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

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

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"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

That term is now forever ruined for me 😅

Break like the wind

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I fucking miss windbreakers.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 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

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Is your aunt Keri Russell?

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

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