    The Vest Suit


    What a young man had to look forward to wearing in the early 70s, almost an indoctrination into "Furley hood"* and somehow, makes the option of Viet Nam that much more appealing.

    Those are some horrible looking clothes. I feel bad for the kids that had to wear that. Yuck

        Yeah I'm sure no kid wants to hear the words "you look like Don Knotts".

              Every time I see one of these, it reminds me of that painful and awkward episode of Freaks and Geeks where he wears that disco suit to school (although I guess every episode was painful and awkward).

                  You all just don't get it.

                  Let's see how you feel when you are attacked by ninjas and you can't properly defend yourself because you are restricted by your sleeved-jackets. See who's laughing then!

                      The kid on the left is a strange amalgam of Danny Bonaduce, Fred from Scobby Doo, Mr. Furley, and 70s-era sofa. The kid on the right is confident enough in his masculinity to go with lavender.

                        How anyone can smile while wearing that is beyond me... I guess if they paid me enough...
