Need Osprey's comment on if this is acceptable Baja clothing

SWMBO was god-smacked that I wore this today. All Day. At work. I explained that it was casual Friday but she said I must burn these and can not even wear them in Camp Gekco. /Can't wear them fishing even though why the fish would care is beyond me.
She won't even let me donate them to Goodwill under the theory that folks who shop there should not be thought less of.
OK, while I've never been accused of being a clothes horse, I don't see why south of the border there would be an issue.
By the way, I got two of them for the price of one.
What say you?

Is only Osprey allowed to answer?

Well, I can tell you what osprey will say:

These are unacceptable. You need to have those small holes under the armpits. You simply won't catch as many fish this way. Of course - it's your choice.

socks are too clean

There are clothes for all occasions but that looks like a Wal Mart shopper, for bargain hunting, not for fishing. I could be wrong -- surface food fish might find that outfit a signal that you are impoverished and need food. Might get you charity bites. I think that particular combo might be better for frogging, at night, alone on the bayou. Attire is very personal so don't go by me.

Go back to WalMart and get a Hawaiian shirt, preferably one with giant pineapples. Make sure the colors don't match the shorts (or the kilt, or whatever it is). Add a pair of neon green flip flops and you'll be good to go.

That's funny right there but, and I swear this is true, on the way home from work that day I stopped in a WalMart, something I haven't done in years. I won't go so far as to say I was over dressed, but you could see it from there. Whoa.

In my defense, I did get dressed in the dark so as not to p*ssoff SWMBO but that's starting to get pretty difficult nowadays.....

The shorts are OK.

Need some flip flops.

Change the shirt to a Los Barriles T shirt.

Outfit looks fine to me. But I am a woman who owns just three pairs of shoes.

Guy on tv looks like Daniel Meade. Do I get a partial point?

i'd say if you were sporting BLACK socks it would give you an entirely different look! try it on SWMBO and report back.....

sancho - 4-12-2014 at 12:21 PM

If you do that, you'll need to pull those shorts waaay up.

I'll take the shirt...you need a striped shirt to go with those plaid shorts

bajalearner - 4-14-2014 at 10:50 AM

If the shirt and shorts were neatly ironed, you did a good job putting the wrinkles in. Almost looks like they were never ironed. good job.

Ateo,
Is that string attached so he won't leave the orphanage?

Marc - 4-14-2014 at 09:15 PM

wessongroup - 4-14-2014 at 09:18 PM

Isn't that against the law ... :biggrin::biggrin:
