As I have more on my plate than I can handle, I will throw this one out for you or however.

"Pants Dickies"

Remember the dickies, guys would wear with a short to make it look like you had a turtle neck sweater on under a shirt?

Pants dickies are the same, they consist of boxer shorts top waist band, that would go down to a "pant section with loops and a belt at the bottom. Us old guys could slip these on over their regular clothes to look urban hip at the drop of a pant. We would still feel proper with our real underwear under our pants, and only appear hip.

Ladies, do not worry, have the same for you. Thong tops, sewn into cotton panties. Wear them and only pull the thing up to show. Full comfort with all the coolness of the young ones.

Sketches available if you need for production.

Jim, Genius a Beautiful idea. I'd be really excited to wear this look to school and connect with my students they think I'm so, well, unhip. It seems like it shouldn't be a violation of dress code, because no one would would see our real undies!

Got a million of them

This one is designed, ready to go with manufacturing possible in San Diego, Mexico and China. I prefer American made Pants Dickies©. Anyone can get this information, with proof that you can get them to market and a promise that 10% goes to charities in Lakewood.

FWIW

forget the rest of the country, cant the kids at Virginia Marti crank these out and either sell them in house or down the street at Geigers?

Jim, do you have some sort of template for sale that would help someone adjust the brim of their ballcap to the appropriate off-center angle that is currently in style?

Also, I need Shoe Dickies, so it looks like my laces are untied, but underneath there is a separate velcro strap that keeps my sneakers on.

Oh, never mind, I've never been "cool", "in", "with it", or any of that crap before, why start now.

Odd you should mention caps. I have a history in clothing deisgn, and taking to market. I started a company years ago called Mellon Heads. It had two products, one was mellon sacks, a special hat that was designed to keep us warm from fall to deep winter. Had space for gloes, a pocket for money and tucked into jackets for a hood like effect. They were in the design of berets. (Made in cleveland)

The second was Mellon Bowls, which were baseball caps without brims. The thought was everyone wears them backwards, why even have a brim? Also gave more space for logos and graphics. Only had three made in Mexico at a place that did other work for me.

Ask Heidi about Agent Orange Sportswear©. Created in the late 70s out of refurbished chemical warfare clothing.

Got a million of them...

Virgina MArti could not hit the price points that would be needed to see millions.

FWIW
