Not quite a total 70s flashback as the art was on the back windows and not the side panels, but I drove by a van today sporting 2 different Frazetta Death Dealer pieces, one on each of the windows on the back doors of the van. Adding to the 70s vibe was the fact I was playing Parliament on the car stereo as I was driving after having just purchased 2 boxed Mego figures at the store. -M Were you by any chance wearing a leisure suit?

Well, crap. Online bookseller Book Depository is closing up shop later this month. Basically it's because Amazon, the parent company, is making a bunch of cutbacks (why one of the filthy-richest corporations in the world needs to do so is another story...). Anyway, that's really sad news for a lot of us non-North American residents, as it has an excellent selection and offers free worldwide shipping. I purchased a lot of books (including comics - tpbs, HCs, digests) from it over the years.

I owned a baby blue three-piece leisure suit in college, which I wore with a canary yellow polyester shirt (what the girls then called a "feely" shirt because they felt so good to the touch). Oh yeah, come date night I was stylin', baby! Flash forward twenty years and I saw a teenager wearing an identical outfit at a Halloween party. I asked him what he was dressed as and he said "My grandpa." Ouch!
Cei-U! I summon the shudders!

I don't wear sweats because I've run hot most of of my life, and I get too hot and stuffy. I'm a shorts in 50 degree weather kind of guy.
No leisure suits, either, I'm afraid, though the ones I imagine in my head look far more hideous than the one linked.

I'd totally wear a leisure suit unapologetically. I already get looks from the normal formal wear that I wear day to day. So some fashion from 50 years ago wouldn't surprise most people that know me to see me in. :-)
My supervisor says I dress like I'm trying to impress a gal on our first Tinder date lol

Speaking of bad 70's fashions Pretty sure that it's lampooning clothing trends and not real

I had a leisure suit with a reversible jacket and two pairs of pants. Each pair matched one of the sides of the jacket, so I could coordinate or contrast. One side was solid brown, the other a brown & white plaid.

So even if I wanted to wear sweats, I wouldn't. But I don't want to wear them because they look low-rent anywhere but on an athletic field. I'll stick with my jeans and cowboy boots.
