I just purchased a leisure suit.

January 14, 2011 in Other Stuff with 8 Comments

I’ve been in the market for a vintage leisure suit for several weeks. After many stops at thrift stores, I finally concluded eBay was the only option. With that, I just purchased this ensemble:

Leisure Suit

I think I’m going to look good in that leisure suit. Don’t you?

Oh…by the way, if you are planning to attend Velocity, Exponential or The Whiteboard Sessions, you might actually see me wearing it. I’m sure there will be plenty of photo opportunities.

Long live the leisure suit!

    Please tell me it didn’t come with white patent, pointy-toe shoes and a polyester shirt…

    Actually I’m shopping for the shoes and the shirt too. Do you have a lead? :-)

    Ah, reminds me of a couple family photos that are still on my mom’s bureau…

    Anyone else think this looks like Matt Chandler?

    Jason, yes. That’s immediately what I thought.

    I am actually old enough that I once had several in my closet. Even had one in denim printed polyester. You have to get a bowtie, and stax saddle oxfords to wear with a suit like that. Scary thing is, they say they are coming back.
