lou, those pants and a nice pin stripe sports coat and you’re all set for a night on the town
Is that as silly as the neon colors back in the 80′s! Today I ran across a photo of me on a spring ski summit wearing a pink t-shirt and pink leopard-stripe bandana on my head in 1989. As I recall my Asolo Super Comp boots had pink straps original equipment as well.
Randonee — i’d sport more pink but my wife shops for me and knows better!
Dave:
Add a matching pin stripe jacket with a big number on it and the outfit would scream, “prisoner on the loose”.
Nice to meet you today.
George
Skiing in pyjamas is now Coo-ell.
