Wanna get a super oversized one to LARP as a boomer and I wanna surprise her when the package comes and she says you’re not leaving the house in that
it’s gonna be great (I’m gonna have a full sized glock 20 in my pants)

i bought out every decent looking size M silk hawaiian shirt in the most garish patterns for like a month and a half at $8 a pop just to prepare myself for the 'weird uncle' role i have in life, fantastic investment. even got one with a morgue tag still on it in great shapeWoggy's Zeonic Frolicks likes this. -

I just had a gift card to burn and figured I should buy something that ISN’T some kind of autism flavored.

She doesn’t know I’ve only ever been 60% kidding

I feel like there’s a relationship circuit that flipped in my head where I’m moving into that summer of george drape-yourself-in-velvet level of comfort. It calls to me
also it’s just been pretty toasty lately and I’m tired of it

Lester Cordell (c_j_s@poa.st)'s status on Wednesday, 10-May-2023 10:31:40 JST Lester Cordell @WashedOutGundamPilot @Imp @nugger I have some folding Rayban Rounds which look nice but because of the design they tilt away from your face. I noticed I got freckling under my eyes wearing those.
ie. Where you'd expect your frigging sunglasses to protect you.
Got Oakley clifdens after that and haven't looked back. Figuratively, because without that peripheral vision you do need to look back more.
Definitely not as aesthetic as the rayban rounds.Woggy's Zeonic Frolicks likes this. -

For now my old gas cans do the job well enough, I’ve still just barely staved off the impulse to just start wearing my flat templed shooters more and more. The wraps look so stupid but darn it they sure are functional.

Lester Cordell (c_j_s@poa.st)'s status on Wednesday, 10-May-2023 10:50:44 JST Lester Cordell @WashedOutGundamPilot @DEERBLOOD @Imp @nugger Here is my sun-conscious boomer tip: wear the dorkiest most functional hat you can find.
The problem with a fedora is people think:
>lol, that sped thinks he looks cool!
When you wear this hat: no one thinks that you think you look cool.
I have first-hand evidence that this works. One time I was out walking and saw this fucking jacked shirtless guy on the street. He was eyeballing me and I thought there might be trouble.
But then he smiles and says
>Aahhh, okay, you're a ginger! That's why you're wearing that hat!
Not actually a ginger but I am cursed with skin like one.Woggy's Zeonic Frolicks likes this. -

Ruined a fun meme for a time, but that’s all forgotten now.
I think the fabric blend really depends. Some are awful, they’re some funky old poly material that’s got a super tight weave so there’s no air flow. If you get that material you need it baggy to get it to breathe. Otherwise the modern stuff should be fine

Woggy's Zeonic Frolicks (washedoutgundampilot@poa.st)'s status on Wednesday, 10-May-2023 11:03:00 JST Woggy's Zeonic Frolicks @idea_enjoyer Basically just compliment her picks, help her shop for new ones, let her lore dump on me when she gets to talking about vintage stuff, and compliment it when she has a barney bag sized one and say “ooh that’s awesome, I’m almost jealous”
Also I sometimes put stuff in there to see how long it takes for her to find it. I once put a vintage chewbacca figure in one and she didn’t find it for a full year
reminds me I gotta find it again. I’ll wait until we’re leaving and a little late, then pretend to run inside for “something really important that I forgot” then I’ll come back and put it back in her purse

She doesn’t like having a dedicated folding knife though, most I can get her to like is a large victorinox like a farmer, ‘cause she can cut up her food with it (gotta cut every burger in half to look cute & dainty)

Better than nothing, at least. I was always trying to strike an impossible balance between having my gear that worked well while not standing out for having nice, expensive gear. And when the construction workers are wearing $1.50 USD flip-flops….everything is ‘expensive’ enough to steal

BUT that’s kind of the point when I do this, I start cheap and learn what I like and dislike before dropping more money in a long-term piece. Start with something obviously obsolete just like the military

It works okay to dry from, but one room has to be segregated and dehumidified in the hot months unless you dry it at night (when it’s windless)
I’ve never dried most of my shirts for….ever. Even so, pure cotton just tends to shrink a little bit, gets worse as time passes. Maybe we just don’t have cold enough water
