What gear makes you look old?

When it does come to gear though, to me it seems like the mid-era stuff is the 'old guy' stuff. Things from the 80s in particular.

I just got a mid 80s headless Cort bass, is that bad for a 40 year old? oh well.

If I was going to look at pictures of clothing styles, should an old guy look at GQ or something else? Should I dress like the guys in Rolling Stone? I really haven't paid attention the last 20 years or so. Any middle age women on this board want to add some advice?

Are you asking middle age women to identify themselves? :hiding:
 
Tobacco-burst basses.

I met a guy once, he came in with a 20 something bubbly blonde that was obviously younger than him. He wore black sunglasses, jeans and a doo-rag, reminding me of Hulk Hogan. He drove a 69 Charger. I asked him about the Charger, thinking he was late 30's. He bought it new 40 years ago.
