Double Denim Day

So a few weeks ago, I initially had planned to go out of town with some coworkers to Kangaroo Valley. It is a sleepy little area about two or three hours outside Sydney where we were all going to stay in a big cabin, cook huge meals, and probably go hiking and canoeing. It seemed like something I could get on board with...until Pat told me his rugby club was having a double denim day. That changed everything!

Double denim, also known as a 'Canadian Tuxedo' is the practice of wearing denim on the top and denim on the bottom to achieve and delightfully tacky (great, did I just use Hooters motto in my description?) ensemble. It is generally worn in jest, though there are a select few (particularly in America) that wear this without any sense of irony. They generally have mullets, as well.

Instead of trying to explain how awesome this whole phenomenon is...I'll just show you...












Sadly, Pat is leaving next week for his tour in Argentina so I made sure to become friends with pretty much every other guy on his team to ensure I will always be included for any event like this one.

And the group that went to Kangaroo Valley? They said they had a great time canoeing and even saw a wombat. To me double denim > wombat everytime.
