Fishnet shirts anyone?

Why don’t nobody use fishnet shirts no more?

When I first began backpacking in 1973, a lot of people used fishnet shirts. Of course, the shirts would breathe great when you were hot and they would actually help to keep you warm, especially if you were a light shirt over them. I thought they were great.

I tried doing a web search on fishnet clothing and got a lot of sites that were, shall we say, not exactly related to backpacking. One site mentioned pictures of someone named Danni Ashe modeling fishnet outfits. Does anyone know who she is? Is she one of those Trail Legends like Baltimore Jack.

Let’ start with this…A quick Google image search for your Danni Ashe reveals a middle-aged woman with obvious massive plastic surgery and other “enhancements” who is desperately trying to look young but really looks, as my friend here says, “through”, as in she been put through something, like a meatgrinder…

Fishnet? Well, unless your the older cousin from the movie Napolean Dynamite, or trying to relive some 80’s movie theme, you probably haven’t worn fishnet shirts in, well, 20+ years or so… (OK, some metal bands, Madonna flashbackers, etc)… Fishnet stockings, however, now THOSE I like to see, especially on a dame’s gams who has great gams!!! (I figure since you are using 70’s ideas, I would use terms my grandpa used)

There are better things to wear these days, synthetics and all…and aesthetically, nobody wants to see your late middle aged hairy beer gut sticking out of some fishnet shirt…

I tried a red fish net body suit but looked like a bag of suet.

Uh, ew. Was saw a guy in '01 with a black fish net shirt. I seem to remember that from a Three’s Company skit. He was hairy…we were afraid.

If I see the fishnet guy this year, I will tell him to go buy some capilene.

However, it was NOT a black fishnet shirt. It was dark blue.
