Kim Mitchel (Yet another thread)

1980's trend

I think It was the preferred solution for balding men in the 80's. The mullet made them feel like they had hair and the ball cap hid the obvious bald spot. I knew a few guys that emulated Kim. They have all since realized they are in fact bald and ditched the cap and cut their hair.

What the fuck is up with Kim wearing that stupid O.P.P cap in the video?

I've seen Kim since the early 80's wearing hats, he was thinning out then. I use to work with his girlfriend at the time, man was she the hottest girl around, tall, blonde and absolutely gorgeous. She use to wear some of his hats to the office on dress down days, which she really dressed down though. lol
 
Actually the style came from the LA county lockup (or ??). It seems there used to be only one sized prison issue jeans so smaller guys always had them drooping down around their thighs......

I agree it's a jail house style, but I heard it was because inmates aren't allowed belts.

I've also heard "they" wear them that big and baggy so "they" can hide shotguns down one leg.

but what the f**k do I know....;)

I used to do a project back in 1989 for the OPP. One day I was at a detachment and they had a TV on, tuned to some tv gossip show. Kim Mitchell was being interviewed with his usual ball cap. I made my observation to the cop I was with and he looked on with disgust. He did not like it at all!

LOL that could be it too...but as for hiding anything down there, how the hell could you get it out in a hurry? Shit you'd be looking through 5 sq yds of denim around your knees......
