You people are the best...love the answers.
oldlady wins via u2u...she may post it...I liked it alot.
I may have to buy a toga...my fishing rags feel like a toga. If all my clothes weighed what my fishing pants and shirt does, I would not have an
issue.
More posts please

Get a huge storage and save them all for awhile. Seems like you may have to go through some withdrawal or shock therapy. Save the cotton under ware.
You could dye them to look "in".
Maybe NOT!

I also am within days of leaving and am into final packing .
So, this is what I am keeping:
ALL of my Tommy Bahamma and Indigo Palms clothes, the casual and dress up....I have been a collector for years, mainly for
cruises.
A couple of sport coats.
About fifty t- shirts. figure I'll never have to buy one again.
Sandels and tennis shoes... and one pair black dress shoes.
And finally , I am keeping my tux..you never know, and a guy always looks great in a tux (at least I am told by the women in my life).
I imagine my uniform will be TB cargo shorts, t-shirt and sandals.
Bon Voyage !

Don't worry about the label, Albert. The only thing inside the shirt that should concern you is you. Image is everything.

a big New Years party or something and you'll want it. so it's one suit ,two sport coats my tux ,slacks and shirts as I like to look a little dressed
up when we go out to eat or church- and everything else is shorts and Hawaiian style- with some long sleeves for fishing--

Al G,
Not to worry, I only wear Tommy Bahamma because it is about the softest cotten I have ever felt.... and their cotton silk blend shirts are just
awesome ! And the cargo shorts are fully lined with soft cotton so that you can be a little more casual with things.

Mood: missing Baja...

A few pairs of really lightweight long pants with elastic at the legs for the "bug nights" on the patio, a few pair of light socks for the same, and
long sleeve, lightweight shirts. I'd buy a pair of Tevos also if I were you.Suits in Baja??Like windgrl says, for marrying and burying It does get "cold " so I would take some sweats, shirts and pants.

1. Weddings...attempt an intervention before the engagement
2. Funerals...attempt a semi-healthy lifestyle to delay the inevitable
3. If #1 or #2 fail, buy a suit large enough or a lifestyle healthy enough to fit in it 5 years later.
Saw a suit at 10/15/06 a friends' wedding in Denver(I was best/only/last man) on a family member. Wow, 40 lbs and 40 years ago that suit was in
style! Nehru would have been only way to top it!

During our first full winter in Loreto I was often cold, and since then I've taken more warm clothes down. fleece jackets, jeans, socks and even real
shoes are good to have. Boy do I ever not like to have to wear those socks and shoes though. I think todos Santos gets at least as chilly as Loreto.

Paula, I was thinking back to a few years ago when Mija lived and worked in Loreto, and had her first born in La Paz. I went down to help(good
gramma), and stayed for a good amount of time.Well, a Nana needs some time out so I would sit outside on one of the porches, and have a smoke and a
c-cktail, just to be bitten up the ying yang by the dang bo-bos and the nasty sceeters! I learned then to wrap rubber bands around my ankles, wear
socks and tuck my hands into my sleeves. Made for some funny manuvers getting my glass into my mouth tho.Thats when I discovered the lizards and frogs
. They seemed to be atracted to anything wet and the bug population appeared to diminish somewhat.It was probably my imagination, but it felt like it
at the time!!

Well, the one suit, one sport coat, and all cotton shirts, shorts, pants,T-shirts and good heavy duty sweat pants will do just fine when I go full
time in Baja next October. These are all I will need until I get toasted and sprinkled into the ocean where I want to end up. However, if I never
wear another tie and suit the rest of my life it will be just great, real great, actually better than great. You can not take too much clothing down
as you have to save room for your ice chest which will carry you ice cold beer and carne asada for the BBQ. CaboRon has it right just let me be free
in my shorts for that just fine and relaxed mood. No Hurry, No Worry, Just Fun~~ as it should be when in Baja just ask Bernie. Later, bajafun777

You will find you need less stuff here, of every sort. Bring enough to make you feel secure about traveling back up north, but don't count on wearing
a suit here. bajajudy is right about the cotton - lightweight natural fabrics are much more comfortable here - cotton, rayon, silk (when it's cool),
linen. I see Mexican women wearing polyester pretties that would make this gringa look and feel like I'm in a sweat box. Maybe after I've been here a
dozen years I'll be able to do that, but will be too old to care.

I think the ladies look great in a thong bikini bottom and nothing else. Dress light as it can get hot in Loreto.
