Asbestos Suit

This is one of the strangest things I remember from my childhood. Dad was a fireman at the airport and he had one of these at home in the attic. An asbestos suit. I suppose they used them at one point when fighting fires. It was in a box and only taken out a few times, I remember my older brother wore it one year at Halloween. The suit was not for sale on ebay, just the ad and there was a link to this video about the suit. Strangely enough, when my house burned we found this in the rubble and it was mostly burned.

Edited to add a photo I found of my younger brother wearing the suit.

Boots

I had a pair of winter boots like these, even the same brand name. They were big and clunky but they were in style!

Clogs

Who didn't have a pair of these in the 80's? I owned a pair and wore them everywhere, even on an hour's hike to Western Brook Pond and suffered galls on my feet afterwards.

Mickey Mouse Sweatshirt

This was my favourite thing to wear when I was in high school. I wore it out and was disappointed when I couldn't wear it anymore. My sister and I had a term for our favourite item of clothing, we called it our "old faithful". This was definitely my "old faithful".
