* Captain Peacock of ''[[Are You Being Served? (TV)|Are You Being Served]]'' is always seen wearing [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroller_:Stroller (style) |semi-formal morning dress]], which had long been abandoned by all but the staunchest businessmen, even in the 1980s. This goes hand in hand with the character, who is [[British Stuffiness|fastidious, pompous and stuffy]].
* At one point in [[The Red Green Show]], during a discussion of Dalton's driver's license (expired in 1994), Mike comments that his wardrobe suggests 1962.

* In ''[[Echo Chamber (Web Video)|Echo Chamber]]'', [[The Danza|Tom]] wears a patterned sports coat and bowtie on a date. [[Wild Mass Guessing|There was speculation]] that this was a [[Shout -Out]] to [[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]], but [[Word of God]] has it that [[Stylistic Suck|Tom bought the jacket only because he thought it was hideous]].

Line 131:
* Jeff Foxworthy once did a routine on how men in general (and his father in particular) tend to tune out fashion at a certain point after marriage and parenthood and simply keep wearing old stuff; the usual timing of fashion cycles and human development mean that dads' clothes are the most horribly dated when the kids are in early adolescence.
* Jerry Seinfeld also did a bit, saying you could tell what a man's favorite year was, since that's the fashion style he'll wear for the rest of his life.
* "Throwback uniforms" began appearing among US sports teams when baseball's Chicago White Sox brought back the 1917 design for one game during the original Comiskey Park's last season in 1990. The trend quickly spread to other teams and leagues. In 1994 the [[Useful Notes/American Football|National Football League]] brought back old designs for all its teams to celebrate the league's 75th anniversary, and they've appeared on and off ever since. [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:AFCW-Uniform-SD.PNG |Some]] were attractive enough that they were retained on a semi-permanent basis.

** Similarly in England Arsenal used a kit design based on their original colours during their final season at Highbury stadium.
** The Los Angeles Lakers tried to play a game with the uniforms from [[The Eighties]]. They changed back to their normal uniforms at half time. [http://awfulannouncing.blogspot.com/2007/12/lakers-bring-back-short-shorts-for-80s.html Short shorts on gigantic men do not work well together.]
