My wife's father wore them everyday, which make getting dressed in the mornings a breeze. I have several pair, but don't wear them that much anymore. {and the kind from the thrift store work, no matter the brand name} Buy them a size larger than needed, it helps with air flow.

True story : about 30 yrs ago i was painting a house in a popular seniors sub. Hottern hinges, no breeze. One morning i decided to go commando under my painter overalls. Worked out great. Until 4:30. Time to pack er in. I flipped both braces off with my thumbs, my overalls dropped to my ankles and there i was, standing proud n bare-assed in the middle of a blue-hair subdivision. :oops::bigjoint:

An allegedly true story from my very own Oklahoma grandfather: If you had your own beehive you were a VIP in those parts. A real status symbol. One day he and his father-in-law spotted a swarm of wild bees clinging to a tree branch and decided that it would be just great if they could capture it and start their own honey-producing venture. So they got some kind of box to hold the swarm to take back to my granny's dad's place and my grandfather was supposed to hold the open box under the tree branch while my great-grandfather shook the branch gently to dislodge the swarm and make it drop into the box. My granddad was wearing overalls with no shirt, holding the box in both arms and kind of leaning over to get it in position. Well, there was a gap between the bib of the overalls and my grandfather's chest and that is exactly where the entire swarm went when my great-grandfather shook the tree branch. Most amazingly, my grandfather told me, he only got one bee sting in that incident.

That's all I know about it. Don't know if the hive was a success at my great-granddad's place or not. But I know my granddad said he and his young friends did a lot of "bee fighting" for amusement. No Internet back then. No TV. No electricity or running water, for that matter, so kids would throw rocks at hornet nests instead of sexting each other. Boy, it's a good thing they have cell phones nowadays to keep out of trouble. :dunce:
