I know the fashion impact of the leisure suit would be diminished greatly
without the white shoes and matching belt, but it would be a great way to
do a "Paddle to a nice waterfront restaurant" kind of trip.  Just take off
the rain jacket, and have a high fashion retro outfit for dining or dancing!

Or perhaps, a leisure suit clad team of kayak racers?

ACA dress code?? Only with matching accessories, I hope.
