Tanks, dude
I was just in a grocery store and came across three separate guys—that is, they weren't in a group—all wearing tank tops, backward baseball caps, shorts, and mirrored sunglasses. Variation in the colours of the tank tops and caps, but all three were dressed the same. They all came across to me as frat boy douchebags. It's generally accepted that the backward cap is douchebag indicative, but is the tank top, too?

The TT on its own isn't a problem but coupled with the rest, you're almost guaranteed to have a certified DB

Re: Tanks, dude
So I'm unnecessarily adding the tank top to the equation? That could well be. I'm struggling to think of guys in tank tops who aren't also embracing the other elements, tho.

I've always found the sleeveless tee a little douchie.

Hello,
A tank top isn't isn't confirmation - but it's an alert.

Re: Tanks, dude
Yeah, agreed. Id say people in tanks - especially if it's just out and about doing everyday errands vs some kind of activity where a tank might make sense - is a big yellow alert for douchebaggery but not ALWAYS a guarantee

So, as I'm reading the group, tank top means put on a watch list; backwards cap means get the Kill Van.

I'll wear a vest out if it's mad hot.
Re: Tanks, dude
Is anything under the vest?

Not a fan of the tank top, it's not too far removed from the po white trash go to, the "wife beater".
