One of the most popular urban camouflage outfits around Austin is a
black T-shirt and some black pants and shoes. This works very well at
night, whether in the city or in the country. Black T-shirts look good
with denims too, and when you're sitting at a table at a cafe, people
only see your top half, so they don't know if you have on black pants or
not.
The only real big decisions are long sleeve or short sleeve black
T-shirt? Or, pocket T or no pocket? With a pocket T you carry your cell
phone in an easy to access place, so the phone is always available with
a quick grab. Other people just like to have their phone on the table
out in plain sight. Go figure.
Over in France, I have read that artists who wear black sweaters are
very fond of what we call over here "Pierre hats" - I saw one at Paris
Hatters in downtown San Antonio. Another thing people around here like
to wear are baseball caps - but every time I see a guy wearing one on
backwards, I think it looks really stupid. But, that's just me.

I wear them on hot days at the dog park or when I'm out hiking in the
Texas Hill Country. Up where Dad lives, I see people wearing camo out
to dinner at the Roadhouse. Camo is very popular these days. I've even
seen camo paint themes on a few pickup trucks. Go figure.
