    There’s pics of me in the suit in the middle, but in MINT GREEN.

    This is the kind of crap my mom would dress me in while she said I looked “sharp”. If I had a time machine, the first thing I would do is go back and beat my 6 year-old self up for wearing this stuff.

    Are the kids’ heads out of proportion to the bodies? Apparently the duds were too horrible-looking to sell in adult sizes so they stick the young boys’ heads on the adult bodies to avoid the added expense of a new shoot. Shows how cheap these fashion pushers were.

    I had something similar to the middle suit but in CORDUROY!

    – Steve, kids have a different head/body proportion than adults.

    Awesome leisure suits-they had Photoshop in 1976? I was the "nerd" of my 1977 high school class and I thought I looked "cool" in my leisure suits, which I owned a few of…in contrast to other classmates who wore rock band/beer/weed T-shirts, long hippie hair, and torn blue jeans to school. Today, I wouldn't be caught dead wearing a leisure suit. Great website about 1970's style and fads.
