I have to do that to almost all my early sweaters. It does indeed make a good storage space for Oyster card etc.

me too, as i like a sweater to be an inch or two over the trouser waistband.
makes me wonder why they made such long sweaters in the first place when trousers were higher waisted.

When I stated college in 1974, my Dad gave me a navy blue, three-piece suit and a gray, three-piece suit, along with a pair of black and a pair of brown wingtip shoes. His instructions still ring clear to me today: "Remember to wear the black shoes with the navy suit and the brown shoes with the gray suit."
I don't remember ever having occasion to wear either suit while in college, but I did always dress neatly (slacks, and a shirt with a collar). Of course the slacks were most likely polyester and the shirt rayon - it was the '70's, you know. [huh]

Cool thread! I don't think I've posted in it yet... unfortunately, the majority of my peers sport the "sweatpants/basketball shorts & sandals" look, which I find grotesque. I've even seen people walk into class in their pajama bottoms... yeesh. At the same time, I've gotten weird looks myself if I wear a shirt/tie sportcoat; therefore, I generally stick to vintage sportswear and more causal stuff. I especially like to wear sweaters to class.
Here's an example (yes, my school's main initial is a "P!".... I don't remember if I posted this in the "what are you wearing" thread, but it's relevant here even if I had...)

Nice spear point collar shirt! Do you know of a good source for them?
I ask because I recently got my first ever collar bar, which I love, but the only spear point collar shirt I have is one of my dad's and it's way too baggy for me. I've had a hard time finding any.

Hi
I've seen the whole PJ's out in public thing, and if I go back to college I plan on embracing it at least on a few days a week. I sleep in running shorts and a t-shirt, so I'll have to go shopping, but I think nice Navy pajama set with a Navy smoking jacket and matching slippers would be great. Maybe a thermos of really good coffee with that.

Cheers! Luxire made it for me; it's 5" long and I'm very happy with it.
@1961MJS: When I say people walk around in their pajama bottoms, I mean, like, flannel baggy pants with prints of the Coors logo all over them. A navy pajama set is undoubtedly nicer (perhaps even more formal than the jeans/t-shirt look that's common among college students, especially if it's worn with a smoking jacket). But I personally don't think it's the best thing to wear in public. I personally wouldn't feel decent walking around like that, but that's just me.

Hi
Oh Yeah, I've seen it for about 10 years now.

Some more late 1920s early 30s "bellbottom" college trousers...in illustration.
PS: Just found out there are a few issues online. Warning for some racist or otherwise non PC jokes.

Love those sweaters. The big v-neck and the large ribbing is great.
