Dark brown dress slacks from I'd say the early 1980s (full cut, flat front, non-bell), cut off at just below the ankle level, with a very light blue soft 70s T-shirt and a dark blue golf cardigan, and yellow Thai flip-flops.

Horrible thread to come across right now ... honestly, I don't have anything on.

Don't catch a chill!

Opebo sounds like a rather natty dresser, from his description.

Thank you sir.  I have a very particular idea of style, for what its worth.

And right now I'm unfortunately wearing gray flannel slacks, white shirt and diagonally striped silver and light blue tie and a navy blazer with college pin, black dress shoes.  Stupid formal occasion at 6:30 AM.. monks coming to bless us, etc.

Red t-shirt, black jeans that are now far too big, braces (a nice tasteful dark red). No shoes, obviously. Am indoors.

You sound like a Rude Boy!

OMGZ!!!1  RELIGIOUS INVAZION!!1

Buddhism isn't half as bad as any other religion.

Today I'm not quite so snappy - Dark blue second hand chinese trousers, pleated, roomy, with a cloth belt, and a beige Thai polo (softer and less constructed than those things FussyFestoon and AHDuke wear.. almost drapey).  Dark green flip flops, dark brown seventies alligator golf cardigan.

I don't really like leather belts much - prefer belts like this:

Pretty regular office uniform for Thailand - dark grey slacks, dark pink, slightly heathered button down shirt.  Actually black slacks and any form of muted but colorful shirt, often with subtle stripes, is pretty much the thai office uniform.  Jackets are not worn here on an everyday basis.

Ten year old Eintracht strip, khaki shorts to just over the knees. No shoes no socks.

What's a 'strip'?

Well, as I'm sure you intended that did not help.  I'm just as ignorantof 'kit' as 'strip' when it comes to mens' blousing.  But now that he mentioned 'football jersey', I have some rough idea.

By the by, as it is now 'off duty hours' I took my five-thirty shower (two showers a day a must for Thailand outside the 4 cool months) and have now donned a red seventies polo in lieu of the dress shirt, and also jettisoned the black dress slip-ons for brown flip flops.

Actually I thought you might be more familiar with the term. So Americans use neither kit nor strip. Interesting,.

No, for us 'strip' means to take off clothing, and 'kit' means something you build yourself from a collection of parts, or just a collection of things to be used together, like a 'First Aid Kit'.

I guess there's an obvious connection there somewhere.

gray Jordan shorts and my friend's barbershop t-shirt

What's a 'barbershop t-shirt'?  Sounds interesting.

An old red shirt with a faded American flag on it (and some charming holes in it) and green mountain dew pajama pants. Tongue

I like it!  Girls in pajama pants are cute.

Tommy Bahama shirt - black with floral print, white twill pants, glass of Barbera in hand. Smiley
     Jeans, black socks, & a pinstripe button-down shirt.

Wow you guys both sound like 'Dudes'!

And to Cutie, what is an 'oracle shirt'?

As for me at the moment I'm wearing roomy pleated Thai black dress slacks, a soft dark green asian polo (with three buttons and a pocket - not like those horrible polos sold nowadays in the US), and one black and one red flip flop.

Right now I'm wearing 'travelling clothes' as I just got back from a small trip - very roomy wide legged khaki green cotton trousers, a dark blue polyester thai polo (only a two button placket but it at least has a pocket), yellow & black flip flops and a grey hooded sweatshirt.

Dark matte greenish/gray dress slacks with subtle light beige and blue vertical stripes (barely visible), a white short sleeved button down shirt with a light blue and beige plaid, tan & navy blue cloth belt, black socks, and black slip on sandals.

Those same dark olive-green dress pants but now dirty and rolled up almost to my knees, a Buick of Manitoba black thrift store T-shirt, a grey 'hoodie', and blue & tan flip flops.  We had a deluge all evening, including flooded streets, so my attire suffered.  I even had to wade in the flood!  Hope I don't get any parasites.

Dark grey laundered woolen trousers, long sleeved brown brocade Chinese polo shirt, heavy, blue V-neck sweater, white socks, destroyed black converse knock-offs.  When I get back on the bike I'll add a huge green plaid scarf, a heavy black windbreaker, a giant hand-knitted black woolen cap, and american convenience store brown gloves with the red inside - its cold here these days, down to 58-60 at night.

I suppose that does sound awfully Ignatious O'Reilly..

This should be called "Opebo's Official Fetish Thread" Wink

Dude, its not a sexual thing.  I guess I'm just a fussy old clothes horse (though you might not know it to look at me).

What I wear every day:

Black fatigue pants, black t-shirt, black fatigue jacket.  Also, black army boots.

What are you, in a militia?

Guy Harvey fish shirt, khakis, black socks, brown penny loafers.

I approve heartily the black socks with the penny loafers.  That's fine.  However, are they all cotton socks?

Oh, as for me, today I'm in heavy dark green dressy pleated trousers, a white dress shirt with dark blue & gray stripes, and a navy blue V-necked sweater with a school insignia on it.  Finally, ancient battered gunmetal gray boat shoes with black socks.

I admit I look too much like harry potter today.

Very soft, roomy black Asian trousers, a khaki green polo, and a dark brown zippered jogging top with orange arm-stripes..  And worn blue flip flips. 

Just felt too comfortable tonight, I had to share it.. perhaps part of the reason is it has finally been cool for a few days due to rainy season.. had been so hot before that.

What kind of shirt is 'Canadian style'?

And please, good gentlemen, do not use this thread as an excuse to expose us to semi-nude photos of your hirsute torsos.

That's what we call 'chemise canadienne' in French, of which the literal translation is 'Canadian shirt'.

Mine is quite like the one on the left, but with less lines, less heavy, softer as I said.

Oh I see!  Yes, plaid.  Canadian, that's funny.  Oddly enough I'm wearing one right now, light green, light blue, white and black, very small checks, with the same pair of soft black dressy pants I was wearing last night, black socks, a brown belt, and brown sandals.

Khaki shorts, getting ready to go to work.

You work in shorts?!  I don't even feel comfortable stopping by the office of a Sunday in shorts.

It's laundry day, and it's also 98°F (at 9.15am), so I'm wearing boardies, flip flops and a baggy T-shirt procured from South Beach last summer.

I'm at work right now, incidentally.

What do you do Joe?  What are 'boardies' like exactly?

I'd rather not give any info on my work life, if it's all the same.  Smiley

Jeez, if it involves shuffling around in your bathing suit it can't be all that d**n sensitive, can it?
