Dangit! Somebody lied to me when they said they broke the mold after me...KBCraig wrote:I don't know your age or appearance, but I'll testify that you can modify your "style" without so much as a ripple.da.suxor wrote:I must say, at my age, and my apperance, wearing a hawian shirt or fishing shirt would scream that I am up to something.
I'm 42, short brown (2/3 gray) hair that's thinning in back, and a goatee. I'm 5'10", trying to stay on the downside of 230 pounds, but with broad shoulders (I don't look that heavy). I've always stuck with the style of my age, meaning early-mid '80s, jeans or dockers and polos or button-down oxfords (tucked, of course). It's a mild style that wears well in any era, and I hate spending money on new clothes.
When I started carrying full time, I realized that my wardrobe was unrealistic, especially since I carry a full-size pistol (Ruger P97). The first thing I had to get realistic about was my pants size. I started out carrying IWB, so I actually went up two waist sizes, and switched to a looser cut.
Next, I looked around and saw that lots of people wear shirts that make perfect cover garments. After spending less than $60, I had several sets of club-style shirts with matching Ts.
Now instead of a middle-age, balding, graying, overweight father of five, I look like a middle-age, balding, graying, overweight father of five with cool clothes.
This is all casual wear, mind you. I can't carry at (or even to) work. For nicer occasions, I wear a suit or slacks and blazer, and the same carry rigs work just fine.

But one thing though...I will die with a full head of hair...
Its genetic...
