I detect perhaps a hint that my clothing is not not up to date and fashionable or maybe that I am just cheap. This is of course completely untrue. This selection from my extensive wardrobe is a 1992 Exxon "Day of Caring" T-shirt that was given out exclusively to volunteers in the United Way Campaign.
My clothing is selected for the image that it projects and I find that vintage clothing exudes a certain a certain aura that Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger completely lack. By the way, a marathon shirt would have been completely out of place in this setting but a college T-shirt would be OK depending on the color. My selection was, of course, carefully thought out and entirely appropriate.
A vintage t-shirt... yes, I see. We all have dads who have one. Or two, or even three. It's nothing to be ashamed of. We're not talking about bodies in their trunks - but rather, old "vintage" t-shirts. The old t-shirt, brave object that it is, transcends fashion conciousness and social mores. Dads everywhere are proud of the way they make them feel on a hot afternoon, when they shuck aside their proper workday clothes for a gladrag that actually loves them back. Granted, their old t-shirt isn't old to them - but rather, something they love to defend, no matter how faded or pill-ridden the thing might be.

This reminds me of the view from the hotel we stayed at in Hawaii, only there were no factories in the background. Is Doha a very beautiful place?
See additional photos posted inside Yebisu...
Just the background? What about the good looking guy in the foreground?

I too, noticed the T-shirt, but my guess was something more whimsical like a 5K fun run.
