... Of all the clothing that is made worldwide, and what they already have readily available there, they buy some USA label made in some 3rd world country.
Well, it was 1968. The turtleneck sweater and the jacket with slacks probably cost less than $40 even if it was high-end merchandise.How could a lowly lieutenant afford to dress like that?
I've always wanted a down jumpsuit. Eddie Bauer stocks them from time to time.

Yeah, but that one's more like a "fall down" jumpsuit, to protect the wearer just in case those roller skates get out from under him unexpectedly.View attachment 390688
They were around over a hundred years ago.
For me it seems to depend on the environment more than the actual temperature. For example, if I'm outdoors on a nice sunny day and the temperature is 73°F I'm usually quite comfortable. But put me on the couch in our living room at home at 73°F and I'm either reaching for another layer of clothing for warmth or turning up the heat a bit. And yes, this has developed as I've grown older as well.I used to laugh at my mother-in-law when, living in Hawaii, she would feel the need to put on a sweater or jacket when it dipped into the 70s (approx 17 or 20 c). Now I’m embarrassed to be acting the same way.
