This thread reminded me that I had this in my front closet.

SOB, this has become a serious problem for me. I am losing count! Over 101 vintage onesies now!

I've got that Helly in a one piece suit - great for staying warm with a fleece onesie underneath.
One advantage of getting older is not giving a crap what other people think.

I've thought about breaking it out a couple of times but the zipper is broken and the little plastic triangles over the snaps started falling off when I was messing with it today. I originally stopped wearing it because it was too bulky.

Off brand (Rodeo?) padded sweater... Wish the forearms were also padded but hey, thirty bucks shipped so what the hell??

Rodeo last I knew was a store brand of C&A, a chain store in the Netherlands. They also have stores in Germany and maybe Belgium too.

Just scored some Descente pants to go with this.. Yes, they fit but having only ONE TINY POCKET makes it unlikely that I'll wear them for anything but a very special retro occasion..

Those pants are rad. Clearly you need a hip pack to hold stuff.
Sweater looks weirdly square. Are the stripes padded?

Stripes are padded but not as heavily as my 1981 Descent sweater was. Perhaps degraded over the years..
Got some nice coach leather fanny packs from the good olde 90s when I smoked...

I do. He seemed to have cornered the market on them. Really nice ones, too.

I think his handle there was AnyGasMan or something like that..

I recently scored a jacket to compliment some stretch pants I bought years ago that I have finally slimmed down enough to fit in.

If my beer league team makes the finals again next season, this is what I'll be wearing.
