        How vintage is it (just considering their is a "skinny fit" featured)? 60s-70s? Or even older?

          I suspect 70's, but it is a question of how old something has to be (in a clothing sense) to be considered vintage. There's plenty of clothing from the 90's listed on eBay as vintage, which always makes me think gtfo!

            That's what I was thinking too: when you you call something vintage?
            A matter of definition and maybe influenced by your own age when judging that subjectively

              If I see something like "Vintage Grunge Era Flannel" for sale on ebay I'll probably shit my pants.

                  I'm not even going to search it here in the States. Ok, I just did. Not as bad as I thought. Though, someone IS selling a "Vintage" Soundgarden shirt for a Buy it Now price of $400. Fuck off!

                      Also, just for fun, and because I need new underwear 🙂 I searched ebay for vintage underwear. People are selling used jockstraps. Wow. Gross. I'm not sure what's worse, using a used jockstrap or collecting vintage jockstraps.

                                No, but this has convinced to buy one for myself too….

                                  Here in the states "American Workwear" is having a bit of a moment. And raw japanese denim, while not 'American,' definitely harkens back to the era that people are drawing from. However, I'm not sure how far this trend has percolated through the 'big' centers of the US…since I'm stuck in the midwest where Abercrombie, Hollister, and Walmart still hold a lot of sway.

                                  Fine by me...the only issue is now you can find poorly-made fashion items imitating quality-made workwear items. Jeans with fake selvedge sewn on, $20 knockoff service boots, etc.

                                  This moment will end in the big cities in a year or two, will persist in smaller centers for a few years after that, and then it will be gone from the mainstream consciousness.....at least for another decade or so 🙂

                                    My wife learned last night that Miuccia Prada, who turned her family's leather goods shop into a worldwide fashion powerhouse, studied to be and worked as a mime.  Julie's hatred of mimes is so intense that she now feels ambivalent about ever owning anything from Prada.  I consider this a win for me.

                                      Not a good day for Me. My mom had a heart attack today. I was with her for most of the day at the hospital.
                                      I will be praying for mom to be alright and be back home.
