They’re button-ups. Should be pull-overs.

well, i was more referring to the execution, or lack there of…the merrill brims, mora’s wearing pjs, half the guys don’t know how to blouse their trou, every uni is 3 sizes to large, stirrups look like shit…you know, the details

as much as i, and others, bemoan today’s styles, wearing yesteryear’s unis in today’s styles is, to me, worse than bad

some of you agree…some of you think i should stop telling you to get off your lawn…it just ruins whatever image i might have had of these unis worn the way they were supposed to, seeing this ‘aughts’ twist

wait, that long style of stirrups can look good? ive never seen it… (im gonna get torched for this i know… but its my opinion)
