    Actually the loose fitting style of clothes did originate from prison, but not for the reason you state. Prisoners do not choose the size of their clothes. They are issued to them by the guards. In order to make the prisoners as uncomfortable as possible they would issue clothes 2or 3 sizes larger and no belt so the prisoner had to walk around with one hand holding their pants up.

    And for the padded gloves, harbor freight does indeed carry them, they have full finger and fingerless. They are yellow and black. When I go back to the hotel tomorrow I'll take a picture of them and post it for you.

    the padded gloves--you mean mechanic gloves ????

    i just missed a big shootout at lake station J a few years ago---i think they get the left overs from gary
    i have stayed at steel town in gary many times--i always know there will be a spot,cause most people wont park there and are to scared to walk thru the parking lot at night
    but honestely i have never been bothered there--its really quiet

    Which is worse, baggy pants, with ROOOS hanging out. Or, a 425lb guy with half his belly hanging out of the bottom of his extra small t-shirt, Sweat pants,or shorts, with Flip-Flops, carring a 42oz mountain dew drink.:laughing-guffaw:

    Their pants are down far enough, they should air out just fine. You know, all we need to do is set up a little wall about knee height, these morons wouldn't be able to get over it.....

    ######, always ruining the fun.
    I'd rather be by him than someone who hasn't showered since Bush was in office. (The first Bush.)


    They're special needs kids, give them a hug.

    Let's use a nail gun to make sure they stay up.

    These kids today aren't that bright, a good belt whoopin' would do some of them good.

    And chewing on a Slim Jim. Of course he's parked on the fuel island because he can't walk any further.

    Oh, and I'd rather see a driver wearing cowboy boots than flip flops around the parking lot.

    Ahh, I was just trying for a bit of humor there. I'm sure HF has padded gloves.

    YeS, there are reasons and a real purpose for fingerless drivin' and workin' gloves.
    Fret not, Reverend Blair, for your confusion pales in comparison
    to those people who make fun of such attire.


    Macho men wear gloves with fingers when performing that activity.

    "In all seriousness"?
    Hmmmmmmmmmm

    You see Billy BigRigger tryin' to say somethin' ---
    without sayin' a word, ...... like don't mess with me?
    YeaH, I agree.
    That does qualify as "serious". :biggrin_2552:

    Do you ever try to say anything in return --- without sayin' a word?
    That sure must be a difficult conversation to follow. :biggrin_2558:

    How 'bout profiling instead?
    Or stereotypin'? :smt102:smt112

    The necessity for those type of gloves is known only by a select few who are sworn to secrecy and will never, ever, consider revealin' it to ANYone.
    It's better that y'all remain blissfully uninformed.
    No shame in that. :biggrin_25512:


    That reminds me, TNana, ......
    How's that anger management class comin'?
    Feelin' any results, yet?




    How far have you looked?
    And, .... do you wear corrective lenses?
    :glasses7:

    SaY WhaT?!
    No I ain't!
    Take another look, -----
    I'm Shakey AfterShock.

    I've read and re-read your post 14 times now, Trucker_101, --- and as hard as I've tried, I couldn't agree with you more.
    What's wrong with us?

    ShuX HowdY, MasterT!, that ain't a thought I'd ever voice, ---- IF I was ever to think that. :biggrin_2552:
    Which I never will, ...... (think that).
    :biggrin_25512:
    I've lived as long as I have 'cause I think twice and speak once.
    Or not at all, ...... all depends on what I think I thunk.

    Sounds like a blast!
    Let the fun begin.
    But, just to be fair, ..... I'll tie half my brain behind my back. :yes2557:




    WhaT?
    Complainin' already?
    Please put'cher clothes back on?
    People are startin' to stare.
    I have a reputation to consider,
    and an image to protect,
    don't'cha know. :biggrin_25524:

    So, you're sayin' that ol' Fred got a custom Peterbilt, --- used?

    BRAVO!
    BROVO!
    Encore!
    Encore!

    My Bic is flicked.

    No foolin'?
    Imagine that.
    Would y'all believe that Patrick was havin' trouble portrayin' his screen character, ....... until I saw the problem and informed him that wardrobe needs to outfit him with fingerless drivin' gloves for authenticity and ultimately, ......... believability.
    That was all the motivation he needed.
    Y'all have seen the results, ........................ right?

    Can it then be said that what goes on behind the wheel,
    stays behind the wheel? :biggrin_255:

    Can you see what clothin' parts I'm missin' while typing this reply?
    This is Casual Saturday, ...... but I could throw on a tux if necessary.

    How thoughtful.
    Not many would be that concerned about the calf bein' roped.
    What kind of material is the piggin' string made of?

    I think bull riders prefer fingerless gloves 'cause they make it easier to dial 911 after a hard ride. Rodeo medical staff wear fingerless gloves so they can display digits more clearly when askin' the bell-rung cowboys "How many fingers do you see"?
    YucK!
    Gross.
    Too twue.
    When Big truck truck drivers don't bother to wash their hands after pickin' up all those kooties from the buffet table, they transfer 'em to the steerin' wheel. And the napkins they use to wipe the wheel with, --- aren't sanitary.

    Well, ....... that goes without sayin'.

    Where cowboys live is like Heaven.
    Why on earth would they even consider goin' the other way?
    New England or New Mexico?
    It's a no-brainer.
    I reckon that'd be better than bein' laughed at at the last truck stop.
    If it's at my expense, it'll wind up costin' them.
    That's my tip.

    You sound bitter.
    Did those ###### Yankees bag your carpet too?
    Gee wilikers!
    Talk about addin' insult to injury.
    Weren't they satisfied with just winnin' the war?

    Perhaps that's why Yankees prefer chowder from Manhattan.
    Ya reckon.


    Fetish?
    I wonder, do New Englanders wear toeless socks?
    I hear they're comfortable and good for runnin' from those
    ###### Yankee cowboys. And to think that Big truck truck drivers are compared to free-spirited cowboys, .............
    Go figure.

    Sounds 'bout normal.

    You got me laughin' Big D, ---- here in my padded cell, wearin' a straight jacket. :smt117:laughing-guffaw::wave:

    Call me loco, but with all the interest in padded attire, I'm thinkin'
    there's money to be made if I can come up with the next padded craze.
    Hmmmmmmmmm ------- HeY!
    I got it!
    Padded bras and fannies.
    What's not to like?

    Yes, we know how much you women hate it when you show up somewhere and after all your planning, and somebody is there wearing the same outfit that you are. :biggrin_2556: :biggrin_2554: :biggrin_2559:

    i am glad you brought up "prison clothing", because "back in the day", in my state, the cons had clothing that were individualized (to a point), and although i do not remember all the details, the state finally said, "enough", we will do things like other states and issue "prison clothing, which is the jump suits.....i think this is the best way. costs are lower, and everyone is the same, no one gets to wear whatever he wants, unless he wants to wear orange.....!!!
