If the Proud Boys and the other right-winger militia types start wearing

brown shirts with ties, be very afraid. That's how the Nazi SA got started.

Any color, really, though. Maybe red shirts and blue ties or blue shirts with white ties. Either way, once they start appearing in a sort of uniform-looking clothing, you'll know that they are organizing into a tighter, more disciplined group.

They have those black and yellow shirts with patches. The boogaloos wear Hawaiian shirts for a bit of fun being a facist. Nazis wear white shirts, with red suspenders, and jack boots. The 3 inchers wear, I believe, military cammo and other official uniforms (cannot find that definitively). So, I guess that ship has sailed into the open.

But, let's not be afraid. We should be prepared to defend ourselves.

You know, I really do think that Trump tried to hire a tailor once, and then refused to pay him. The tailor said "Fuck this!" and went home, and Trump's clothes have looked this shitty and worse ever since.

I'm no great shakes in the looks department, but spending a little extra cash for well-tailored clothes is definitely worth the expenditure...

I don't think wardrobe was the catalyst for the formation of the SA.
