Holiday Travel is Here: Dress To Be Herded Like Cattle

[ExiledInIllinois]

 

Don't even start with the heads! Or whatever they're called in the air... Probably need to be power washed each flight.  Worse than a MegaBus across country... They barely fit an 8 year old...

This has been a baiting attempt and if that suites you, fine.

Haven't had a cold, the flu or any other malady my entire career.

Seen much worse in trains, including Europe and restaurants.

 

We're going on an inside passage Alaska cruise this year and I'm more concerned about that, given recent history, than I am about ruing my clothing on the flights to or from Seattle, and I'm not worried about the cruise either.

 

Worried?

Stay home.

Respect is earned, it doesn't start with the clothes people where.

 

I don't think it's about ruining clothing as much as the asinine statements the government puts out.  Return to the "golden age" of flying? You gotta be kidding me?

 

Just wear what you want, within reason of course... Stay comfortable in a world that treats people with disrespect.  Probably is better to cover yourself up, no exposed skin...  Of course don't wear offensive logos, etc... BUT does this really need to be said? 

 

Just a distraction statement.  People are getting unruly because the fish rots from the head down not by the clothes they or others wear.

I love the idea of the Golden Age! It’s always cool to see these old TV shows and movies with people wearing suits and dresses to the movies and airports. 
 

it’s doubtful people will do this, but cool idea! 

Men’s and women’s clothing in the ‘40’s & ‘50’s TV and movies was the crowning point of Hollywood style. For many people back then, commoners if you will, dressing up to attend things was more about pride, most probably didn’t own more than one suit, or nice dress. Hence the term “putting on your Sunday best”.

 

Check out these folks attire standing on the outside to watch a baseball game in the ‘40’s.

 

Today, well…..I swear there are those, and it’s more than a few, who routinely roll out of bed and go out and about in the bottoms they slept in. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Good point!

 

Definitely getting bumped!  At the very least, standing room only in the aft head!🤣

I have recently been watching a lot of those old Twilight Zone episodes, which was filmed in the late 50s

and early 60s, but is mostly set in the 40s and 50s. And it’s this dress attire that really stood out to me recently.

No accounting for style nowadays. Seems majority of Mens casual wear is pretty much “dungarees”, sneakers, baseball caps and shirts representing sports.

OMG! Never saw that. Hysterical and spot on. Thanks, made my day.

Ironically, regarding clothing, when I was doing Asia trips, which are overnight as almost all lengthy international trips are,  the first class cabin passengers were provided pajamas if they wanted them.

The seats are like recliners, so sleep was easy.

agree. I was at a professional musical show the other day, and some dude walks in with a Bills jersey and Bills cap! At first, I was thrilled and was going to yell “go bills!” But then it’s like, “who wears a jersey to go to the theater?”
