It’d just be wrong not to wear a flanny under this. . .

. . . and a cowboy hat . . . and I’m gonna wear it here . . .

I must be missing something, I am colourblind but I actually think both the pants and the jacket look good, not in the same colour at the same time though.  Why is it bogan?  Could I wear it sporting this facial do?

It’s puke orange… I’m sure with a cool set of pants it would be fine but I probably wouldn’t invest…

Why is it bogan?

Nah, it’s not bogan at all - it’s as (modern) cowboy as it gets (so cowboy flanny, not bogan flanny). Hmmmmmmm, or construction worker, Carhartt’s big with them too (but that pretty much exhausts the Village People references). Carhartt is the ‘Yakka’ of the USA - but it’s high fashion here (probably more to do with the pricetag). It’s tough as nails - even more so than Yakka.

I wasn’t kidding, I think it’s great!

Well, OK, maybe I was kidding about wearing it at Brokeback Mountain Ski Resort (I love the names of some of the runs though!).

I want - I’ve already got the perfect flanny, but I’d need these boots:

. . . and some of those board pants that Burton made for the US Olympic snowboard team (that look like distressed jeans).

Then all I need is a helmet which looks like a hardhat. . . hmmmmmmm, I think they call them ‘hardhats’.

I just checked out Danny Davis’ part in ‘Standing Sideways’, and he sooooooooo rocks the lumberjack/construction worker look. His riding ain’t bad either. smile
