Once upon a time, I sat down and tried to devise a new and cheap way to dress. From Boy Scouts, I realized that the best way to do this was militaria and surplus. But I wasn't big into the US Army scene, so I'd have to find a foreign supplier. Turns out, the BRD has the most agreeable color scheme. So I scoured Ebay for months and bought up as much Bundeswehr crap as I could.

Six months later, I walk into Hot Topic and see a Bundeswehr shirt. It irks me slightly, but mostly I'm flattered that I'm being imitated. Nowadays I seldom go a day without seeing my East German jacket on somebody else, and it annoys the hell out of me. Damn you Hot Topic.

However, I've lately just tried to bring back the fashion of bowties. I only buy the ones that you have to tie yourself. If Hot Topic picks up on this, my east german army boots will get lodged into someone's ass cheeks.
