You should have seen the pants with ducks

My father had a unique sense of style, as you can see from this picture:
He was also retired for 26 years. If he'd had a little more drive (and perhaps had not had a child to raise) he could have easily written a book.

So I present selected chapters from the hypothetical work, Pastels, Plaids, and Prints: A Fashion Guide for Real Men.

“Sport Coats and Sweaters: How I Successfully Avoided Ties After Retirement”

“When Navy Blue is Considered Wild: Understanding Your In-Laws”

“Lars on Top, Ralph on the Bottom: Dressing to Celebrate your Cultural Heritage”

“Cigar Holes Add Character! Responding to the Fashion Police”

“Neon Green Pants with Pastel Pink Shirts: Breaking Away from Garanimals”

“Walk On the Cuffs: Tips to Avoid Paying for Alterations”

And of course:

“Get the Heck Out of Delaware, Our Roads Weren't Built for Out-of-Staters!”*

*This has nothing to do with fashion, but was perhaps my father’s most passionate sentiment.
