I have lots of thoughts on this, mostly conflicting!

There is a trend these days for "kids" to be buying clothing that makes them look blue-collar, right down to stains from the factory. So apparently "the look" is appealing. I would think old Commandos would fit right in there. It amazes me actually how hip I am to wear clothing that has paint and oil stains on it. It shows I'm the real deal!

There is also a trend among "kids" to not buy disposable items. I've seen some interest in owning items that CAN be repaired. So its possible that the people who are coming up next as consumers will actually want old stuff. That its probably the gap between the baby boomers and the 20 year olds that are less inclined.

However, its possible that they next generation of consumers will not want anything that runs on fossil fuels. So maybe we figure out an upgrade for our Commandos that makes them rechargeable! I think this last item is what will eventually dictate what happens to old bikes and cars. It may be cool to dress in stained Carhartts and boots but not so far as to actually ride a bike that leaks oil and spews gas fumes.

Once on my way home from work I was asked by a homeless gentleman if I too was homeless.

I don't know why anyone would pay money to look like me on purpose.
