What were you wearing then?

This one defies all description. 1977.

It looks like a jumpsuit with a built in wedgie string. And a taxi insignia. And a big ass collar.

And don't overlook what appear to be hints of patch pockets on the sides of the pant legs. Now that's stylin'!

I think I have seen pornos from the 70s in which the male lead is wearing the same outfit.

It does have a certain "easy access" sensibility about it...

I had something pretty similar, but in mustard yellow..

Someone needs to break out some pics of the polyester two piece pajamas with the Happy Days iron on thing on the shirt.. Now that stuff was stylish..

I like the Thom Browne rugby! You were way ahead of your time.

1976. Although it looks like pajamas, I guess not. Just a matching jacket and pants. Odd zombie-face though.

Yes, but was it white velour?

^^Love the Lacoste sweater.

Sweet photos Rach. The look of the print in first one looks like it could be from a Sears catalog. And +1 on the Lacoste sweater, such a quintessential studio photo too.

1979, off to school. And yes, I still have that lunchbox tucked away with other keepsakes.

1977. Easter. Probably the first time wearing a tie. And a wide one too!

For Rach, my brother in orange. 1982. The writing on the back of the photo says Ft. Mason, but I'm thinking it was Ft. Point.

1981, hacking away on a Commodore PET. A preview of how I'd be spending my waking life...
