....the gang bangers wore their hats backwards.....

Back then characters were shown wearing backwards hats and baggy clothes for comic relief. Those were the marks of the dunce, the fool, the clown. I guess in many ways they still are.

I really wish this pants/boots combo would come back into style and be available to buy locally. I've seen them available online somewhere. It would be great for motorcycle riding.

I have posted these before but thought you may have missed them.
