T-shirts

I'm a sucker for a retro T-Shirt. Especially those found on the websites where people can make any old design. The more oddball and unknown, the better. 

I have several of them in my collection. 
 

I also have a short list of ones I still won't to buy but I'm trying hard not too because in reality I have too many as it is. 

But still, something about these unique and obscure t-shirts just call to me. For example, my favorites are "Kidd Video" my two "TG&Y" shirts and a shirt depicting Randy Johnson knocking the feathers off a bird with a 98 mph fastball. 

Classic. 

Carpenter Jeans

 I wear blue jeans all the time. But my favorite style has ALWAYS been carpenters jeans. You know, the ones with the side pocket, where I kept my cell phone so I wouldn't feel it crushing against my thighs when I say down

Plus, the little loop meant for holding a hammer? Don't ask me why but I always love tugging on it every so often. 

Sadly, these are hard to find in stores. I only see them online now. But it's still my favorite style of jeans! 

Raincoats

 I think I want one of these. Umbrellas you have to carry around with you once you go inside. Taking up one of your arms or hands when having to carry it around. 

Here in Louisiana umbrellas are pointless too since it rains sideways. So the back of my shirt can get wet as well. But with a raincoat? I don't know. Just a thought. 

Oh and I would NOT want rain boots. Those are still pointless for me.

 Watches. 

There was a time where I WAS the Watch Guy. I had several to choose from and wore different ones all the time. I couldn't live without a watch around my wrist. 

Then smart phones came into our lives and I realized I was checking the time on my phone more than on my wrist, so I after my last watch broke, I never asked for another one again. 

I still like the look of them but it just doesn't serve a purpose for me anymore. 

Maybe next week, I'll talk about clothes I do enjoy. See you then folks!

 Scarfs. 

I think I have one left. I've purposely left the others at house parties over the years because I care NOTHING for them. 

It's just a fashion statement to me. Nothing more. I don't feel warmer wearing one, nor do I ever think "Boy, I could really use a scarf right now"

For that matter, I also think it's just fashionable for women too than something that truly keeps you warm. 

The one scarf that's survived my collection is because when we moved Megan packed the last remaining one in a box that went upstairs and when I unpacked it, I stuffed it into a drawer and it's still in there today. It never gets worn, not will it ever again. Unless I need to leave it at someone's house after a party.....hmmm...

 Turtleneck. Yuck. 

I remember the late comedian Mitch Hedburg talking about how they felt like a someone lightly choking you all day long. I agree. So uncomfortable. 

For that matter I'll go the extra mile and say long sleeve t-shirts. Yuck. I hate them. I only have a handful left in my closet and I don't know why I haven't thrown them all out. In fact, if it isn't a dress shirt, I despise long sleeve shirts in general. 

The only exception would be sweaters (of which I have very few) and pull overs. Which I rarely wear as well.

 Vest. Super popular today. Everybody wears one it seems. But I've never seen the point. When it gets cold I need my arms and shoulders covered or I'm freezing all the same. Having a coat on that's unbuttoned if preferrable to having my arms exposed in the cold weather. 

But I guess that's just me. Sweater vest are in the same category too. Hate them. I used to have one I'd wear every so often but I wore it with a coat I never took off, so I eventually got rid of it too. 

Just not a style I'm into at all.
