If so, how? Other than camo ponchos and a gun in war-torn jungles, what do you wear with one to not look so ridiculous.

If I had, I wouldn't have worn a poncho for it. Are you sure the banditos didn't die of laughter?

Saw it, the poncho took me by surprise. There should be a rating system for that. Graphic violence, adult language, and ponchos.

Drunken experimentation is required. I wonder if you can fold a poncho into a hat.

What if the poncho was folded into a hat?

You seem to posture as knowledgeable in these areas, so please do advise.

I made one a few years ago that looks a bit like this, in style anyway... not fabric. Basically it's a poncho with side seems.

Aside from camo, camping, and Mexicans, I don't see many guys in a poncho.

Women's ponchos can be rather stylish, though.

I don't take runway fashion very seriously. How many of those ponchos do you see in real life on real women? (models count as mannequins)

It was crocheted and stripey and so very flamboyant. I had (and still have, to an extent) a very eccentric dress style.

The one on the far right reminds me of some kind of grim reaper.

I actually think all of those are hideous, although there are some ponchos that I like, generally I don't care for the ones of heavy fabric.

Ponchos are generally not fashionable. However, there are occasions where your fashion is only relevant at your destination. If you need to walk through heavy rain, there's nothing wrong with wearing a poncho.

Aside from camo, camping, and Mexicans, I don't see many guys in a poncho.

Women's ponchos can be rather stylish, though.



The one second from the right looks good. The rest are bleh.

Waterproof ponchos are great if you're wearing a pack or pants that aren't waterproof

The one on the far right reminds me of some kind of grim reaper.

I actually think all of those are hideous, although there are some ponchos that I like, generally I don't care for the ones of heavy fabric.

I like the one on the left and the one in the middle. I didn't like the one you posted at all. I've seen some really nice ones at craft fairs, but this is the only pic that comes close to them.

I like that one, I like the sheer ones mostly, the heavy ones seem so gloomy to me.

I used to have a multi-coloured poncho that I wore everywhere. I might find a nice patten and crochet myself a new one!

That's something I'd like to see. Was this poncho conservative in style or rather flamboyant?


It was crocheted and stripey and so very flamboyant. I had (and still have, to an extent) a very eccentric dress style.


Did you make it? What material? I'm assuming not nylon.

I didn't make it, I bought it at a hippie shop. I think it was wool.

No this was in the days when digital cameras were still not very common, so the only pictures we'd have of it are in my mum's photo album.
