BagOfCrisps 24 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 You know we saw some really cool dudes in Japan in their skin tight and/or bright coloured really 80s looking gear. Gagging to take some pics but we never seemed to have a camera ready at the right moment. Are there many of these dudes all over Japan? Anyone get any fun pics of these Kings of Fashion?

arupensutairu 0 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 I'm interested in the baggy one-piece suits that the oh-so-cool snowboarders wear. AFAIK, these are not sold anywhere else in the world. Take a look... Link to post Share on other sites

SerreChe 2 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 With regards to the one piece suit, as they say, do not knock it unless you've tried it. They're good to avoid having the snow in the crack syndrome when you crash heavy in loads of pow. I actually wish I had one (although not the one shown). Link to post Share on other sites

arupensutairu 0 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 It's the toilet slippers that really do it for me. Shows a great sense of place. And it isn't a bloke in the one-piece... Link to post Share on other sites

mattlucas 0 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 The new one pieces do look cool on some people. Some chick boarders look very good sporting the one piece. But the Bogner of old is just shameful. Link to post Share on other sites
horrified 0 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 we should have a photo contest of 80's-style fashion criminals. Probably not very polite, but if they're willing to go out like that in public... Link to post Share on other sites

Thunderpants 0 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Excuse me, but most of you sound like a bunch of 14 year old high school girls! "Did you see her bathing suit..." People wear whatever clothes or suits for a reason. Either because they think it is looking good or because it serves a purpuse for them, and it is not up to anyone else to judge them. It annoy me slightly that so called grown up's like you are putting them on display like they (we) are freaks. I wear my suit for reasons that makes perfectly sense to me. DON'T JUDGE! Fashion police.. give me a break! If someone have been keeping their 80's suit in good condition for 20 years, give them a little respect instead. Everyday i see customized cars that i would never drive myself. but i also know that making fun of the proud owners would hurt their feelings. maybe this forum is better suited for subjects like this. Ok, i'm feeling better now. ATB Thunderpants Link to post Share on other sites
horrified 0 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Thunderpants: lotsa truth in what you're saying. I like to laugh at other people's outfits. Should I be judged for that? Now that fundamental point is out of the way, I'd like to say that I laugh at myself more than I laugh at anyone else. Otherwise, I could start taking this life waaaay too seriously and get a disease or something from worry. Hey: if you've got the golden globes to go out in a very visible public place with the best lighting system in the whole world, wearing a fluorescent orange and yellow-speckled matching coat and pants and expect people not to look at you funny, then the world has simply passed you by, my friend. (And I doubt my comments would hurt any of these grandstander's feelings.) If they can afford to frequent a ski-hill, they can certainly afford to live in the present-day fashion society. I do appreciate people willing to help the environment and recyle, though. Cheers and chill, Link to post Share on other sites
Thunderpants 0 Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Ok, i'm chilled! i get my laughs too, both on the hills and off. It's not like that i don't find some outfits funny. ..anyway enough said ATB Thunderpants Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 I actually like the idea of being sealed within a big waterproof bag for wallowing around in powder because, much as I love powder, I don't enjoy clumps of it stuffed inside my jacket. So I tried on one of the romper suits in Alpen and jeez was it heavy, especially on the shoulders. I guess that's why they have the belts to take some pressure off the shoulders. But the belted look is what makes them look especially nasty. Link to post Share on other sites

Thunderpants 0 Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 1. Jared my snowbrother, this one is for you, make sure your nose is REAL close to the speakers That should even the score just to stay a little on the subject... One piece suits have many advantages, farting in them is NOT one of them, gas seems to travel upwards and escape around your nose ATB Thunderpants Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Here's Thunderpants chilling Apres Ski style All in good fun. All in good fun. At least you can joke about it. Just like farting in a sleeping bag I bet. Link to post Share on other sites
Thunderpants 0 Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 No need to worry about me Toque or anyone else , Promise! But i am worried about brother (Kevin Bacon?) on picture, though. His genitals seems a bit ..Squeezed in there. I bacically don't care too much about what people think of me or my wear. It is REALLY nice to wear. Ask me any question about my suit:) (and i also have a great idea for my future avartar) Last weekend i saw a brother in a snake skin-pattern 2 piece suit. yes, i laughed quietly. But Bro was most probably proud of his outfit, and there is no reason to make him feel bad about himself. Toque, You wrote "If you can afford to go to the hills regularly you can afford to buy new equipment every 10 years." For who's sake, yours? One thing i really don't understand is the amount of accesories (towels, talc bags, PET bottles and other useless JUNK) the average one-piece-wearing-japanese-teenager have hanging from their belts. the length and amount of junk seems to have grown this year. Anyone else noticed? ATB ThunderSuit Link to post Share on other sites

horrified 0 Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 I'm all for looking as different as possible. Make your mark on society while flashing a bold, bright victory for the anti-establishment. Tell "the man" where to go with his rules of normalcy! Bring down the fashion industry! (Hopefully I'll be there to capture it all on my digicam for history's sake.) Link to post Share on other sites
