The Vest Suit

The Vest Suit

What a young man had to look forward to wearing in the early 70s, almost an indoctrination into “Furley hood”* and somehow, makes the option of Viet Nam that much more appealing.
* The right of passage where you became a lonely bachelour living in your brother Bart’s apartment building.

    That corduroy vest suit is just…..insanely terrible. It's liek they knew only future Furley's would wear such a thing because look at the guy they picked to "model" this outfit. They could have put one of the mustachioed macho men or all-American dads. But, no. They picked someone who's feature already looked awkward, as if to signify, if you're already a lost-cause, at least this suit ain't going ta do you any worse."
