After his father died they became destitute, and he had to wear his mother's cast off sweaters.

@lxskllr Ha, not true! The federation is a post-scarcity society! He *chooses* to wear those.

Styles come, go, and come back again. TNG style had a decidedly 80s flair. What iteration do you think they were on at that point?

If you assume a 20 year gap between a style leaving and returning, I get the 19th iteration of the 80s.

Amazing that such an awful period had such persistence :^D

🤔 That might explain why the seaters are so . . . exaggerated. 😆 And so Deep Space Nine is in the 19th iteration of the 90s?

It tracks! I think it does anyway. I don't have a keen grasp on what the 90s looked like. Weird, cause I think I was there, yet I have no real memory of it :^/

Oh, well I dig that. Maybe that's why I don't remember. I suddenly just blended in. That's basically my uniform :^D

@sezduck @lxskllr I keep coming back to this. This was episode 4 of the entire show, and I can remember for some reason the clothing had a very powerful effect on me. As in, I thought it was good—that I would wear it unironically.

I like the colors. Has a 70s vibe.

Right? Do you work at Burger King? Or maybe play for the Astros? 😂 But also, it has the bold stripe pattern typical of rugby shirts, which were SO in fashion just then (early 90s).

This handsome Dagobah-coloured sweater will comfort you in the murky swamps while keeping you cool in the Arctic caves.

@syferdet @startrek It looks like a ghillie suit, but he took the hat off.
