What Would You Like To See Make A Comeback

[TinCup]

Was listening to a radio show on the drive to work this morning and they talked briefly about the popularity (or lack thereof) of pipe smokers in today's world and whether it might make a comeback given the lack of under 30's pipe smoking these days, they then mentioned another couple of items they'd like to see and I thought it might make a good thread topic (remains to be seen)

Other items they'd like to see make a comeback:
Trilby Hats
Capes (instead of coats)

Thoughts?

Empathy. The sense that we are all in it together. Last i remember seeing much of that was the '70s.

If i cant have that i will settle for Bracken Flake.

I would like to see tobacconist shops that are widely available make a comeback.

Dark Star

Also, I would like to see Common Sense make a comeback.

Common sense isn't so common anymore.

I love Bracken Flake and would also love to see it brought back. ?

Any kind of men's hat besides baseball caps. And women wearing those long fancy gloves with dresses.

Knickers seem fun, too. Shorts that you can wear with a suit!

Public executions. A great way to get the neighbors and kids together for a day of fun and entertainment.

Spats
Bell bottoms
Mullets
Leather helmets

Common courtesy

Yes, there's nothing like throwing potatoes and heads of cabbage at the convicted taking their last walk/ride.

Capes (instead of coats)

I'm all for this.

Godliness.

Trilby Hats

Hmm, I think I have one of these, but I never wear it. Might be a fedora, though. Hard to tell the difference.

Personal responsibility and the generally accepted norm that it’s not okay to be a complete asshole just because you can.

And newsstands selling decent newspapers and tobacco. Can’t do much about the actual news, but being able to read the news - such as it is - in a quality newspaper would be nice.

+1 for hats too! I’d second the vote for Trilbys and Fedoras.

Not sure I could pull off the trilby but I do wear a flat cap fairly regularly

I'm afraid that is a lost cause.

Trilby hats definitely, and can we have some civility and politeness.

The consensus in the coat V cape chat was mostly about the lack of pockets in the latter, so they agreed that if some kind of inner pocket could be incorporated into a cape then it could be a winner ?
