Turn up in the dock wearing a t-shirt,jeans,trainers, and unshaved.
Next bloke is up for the same thing, but he's clean shaven, and got a suit, tie and polished shoes. Who do you think is going to fare best? |

I do sit all my waking hours on a Pc though bob
I've actually had the jogging bottoms over a year & never worn them , but got out the bath other week & popped them on & they're extremely comfy , though would never be seen dead outside wearing them  |

You would be surprised Who looks most worried  I'd never ever wear a suit to court |

lol its ok, i have house (or flat) clothes too.
i once got told i looked scruffy for posting a photo of myself in a baggy old football top. christ i only wear the thing indoors. who wants to wear their best clothes lounging around on the sofa? i pretty much never even put any clothes on indoors cept underpants and one of several baggy old tops. |

speaking of which, do footballers look smart in suits? always look well dodgy to me! like pimps or drug dealers
|

By:
Football tops are the worst thing you can possibly wear imo
They have the money so should look smart , some do very well , but some just look complete chavs , Rooney springs to mind  |
|
By:
i think footballers tend to get suits one size too small. it shows off their muscles better and attracts attention towards that, just in case you make the mistake of thinking they have something interesting to say.

i actually meant american football. sorry for the confusion. i have a load of old american football tops. the great big baggy ones. never wear em outside, theyre falling apart.
|
|
By:
American football tops are cool imo
though i don't own any as my muscles seem to have disintegrated somewhat , girls seem to love wearing them too , which looks very cool  |
|
By:
mine arent cool, all the numbers have fallen off. well, actually ive pulled em off. they were fraying a bit in the washer so i pulled the lot off. all that remains is the outline of a number! bloody comfy though.

white t-shirt and ties are smart?

By:
I thought you bought some expensive ones from the U.S , or they were the ones
|
|
By:
it'd probably win big brother , erse
i love my t-shirts , have a whole rack , but have given up trying to buy more cool ones for £25 time , just to doss around in , no logos etc required |
|
By:
ive bought loads over the years. these are two i got on ebay years ago. the numbers are sewn on, so now theyve fallen off the outline if the stitching is all that remains. i got 2 from america that were expensive but just replicas, ie they had iron on numbers. one of em is ruined cos i got paint all over it, the other is still ok but cant really wear it lounging around or the iron on numbers and that start flaking off. had that before. ive bought a new one from america but i dont like it. still got the tags on incase i put it on ebay.
|
|
By:
yep the trouble is the iron on numbers etc , they don't last as long as the actual top would , so only worth wearing to go out in really
|
|
By:
the majority of american football shirts or jerseys as they call em that you see are replicas with the iron on names and numbers. i dont think shops (even online ones) here are allowed to sell any other, they dont have a license for it. it all starts flaking off if you lie around in them. i learned that from wearing one in bed! they look terrible real quickly!
|

By:
Yep
I had one when younger but was an official NFL product & lasted for years Clothes were better made back then imo Remember i had a Jordan T-shirt black with red sewn logo , it was the thickest t-shirt i'd ever worn , could wear it in winter & still feel ok , lasted me about 10 years  |

By:
I used to pay top dollar when i went through my going out drinking , drugs etc phase
La coste sweaters for £140 to think of it makes me feel ill , though i only lose £140 on a bet now good cool clothes are everywhere nowadays , i love my nike combats that i paid £17.99 for  doesn't matter to me they are Nike , but they're an absolute bargain for the price |
|
By:
the replicas are official nfl ones, but they make better and more expensive ones that they dont license over here. they have 3 types, the most expensive ones are effing stupid! about 300 dollars. when you add in about 60 dollars postage its getting proper silly. looking at over 200 quid for a top.
 if yours was a replica they must have been better quality back then i guess. i think back then they only made 1 type of shirt instead of the 3 they do now. only guessing though, not got a scooby tbh! |
|
By:
200 is a lot for a top , i'd probably just frame it instead
|

By:
you could probably get a matchworn one signed by a legend of the game for not much more.
thats the crazy thing about it. never bought one of those, the most ive paid is about £120 i think. apart from those i think the most ive ever paid for any clothes is my trainers that cost £110. i wanted some comfy trainers to walk in that looked a bit different to what everybody else wears, and they were the only ones i could find. theyre falling apart and im really struggling to find any i like now. most comfy cushioned trainers dont really go with my image. white trainers with dark jeans looks all kindsa wrong. but converse and vans are horrible to walk long distances in. stupid fashion. |

haha i feel ya mate , it's tough as you get a bit older ain't it
I've got a Hugo Boss hoodie (very smart-embroidered-not the chav type) has £130 on the tag but have never worn it - still has all the labels on in my wardrobe I used to wear white trainers & jeans in my 20's & was cool at the time , but now everything i wear is more colour co-ordinated , cream , brown , khaki coloured i favour instead Feeling comfortable is the hardest & most important thing i find |
|
By:
I have tons of t-shirts but really don't like th thick type any longer , nice thin cotton is so much more comfortable to wear !

I hate wearing a tie, HATE IT !!

Anybody who pays for 'logo stuff' needs his head examined.
My grandad told me many years ago that there is only one item of clothing that it's worth paying good money for - shoes. I've never been a follower of fashion, I didn't need to be, I have a personality, and when I was younger I could talk to the laydeez. I'm not a walking advert for clothes labels, like today's younger generations. |

As per Emden's intimation above,apart from my elder daughter's graduation,the only time that I've worn a suit and tie in the last 14 years has been at weddings and funerals.On occasions,I've had difficulty in remembering how to do up the bloody thing.
The said daughter is getting married in a castle in Edinburgh at the end of December.Maybe I should start practising,or just buy one of the clip on ones to be on the safe side. I hate ties,and wore my orange sticker with pride at Ascot on that PR disaster day. |
