[Ads-l] athleisure

[Dave Hause]

Damn!  I was in fashion once, except before it was in fashion.  It was 
called "UCP" which stood for Universal Camouflage Pattern (except it didn't 
really match any pattern except one of Sadam Hussein's couches.)  Before 
that it was "Woodland" which actually was.  I wonder if the hipsters 
realize.  Except guns would probably scare them.

It is the de facto aesthetic for a whole genre of stubbly athleisure men, 
but Kersey takes it to the extremes.

I laughed when I saw this term. Perhaps it’s a sign of crotchetiness about 
language change, lol
