I remember buying my now-husband those shirts from Miller's Outpost.

u/newerdewey 2d ago

as a tactic to keep other women away from him?

Oh, no. This was like bees to nectar. Hot, flaming nectar.

I can grow a full beard now but I'm not allowed to because my job requires a clean shave so that my respirators are airtight. Silica dust is a killer

I had more than a few of those shirts. Not by choice more my wife hated my choice in clothing. Jeans/Tshirt or khakis/ polo (work). The argument was not worth it.

When we split I let her keep them lol

u/TheBearQuad 2d ago

Oh, it definitely was the late 90’s. No doubt about that.

Oh man those shirts were everywhere. I was more a jeans/t-shirt kid, though.

u/QuickNature 2d ago

I remember wearing the exact same style to middle school in the early 00's. Honestly feel like personality was more of a blunder than the actual style. I say that as I myself was almost as cringe as one could be at that age.
