Has anyone else noticed the shift in homeless fashion?
Years ago, you could always spot the recently released convict by his plain olive-drab jacket.
Then we had a period when all sorts of marginal sorts were attired in woodland camo fatigues.
These days, I see more such folks drifting about in bits of high-viz clothing .... often including bits of company uniforms.
At a local thrift store, company uniforms appear in the donation bin within days of being issued.
I'm reminded of my first industrial job. At a meatpacker in the market district, I noted all sorts of folks walking the street in butcher coats and hard hats - folks who worked at no establishment, but were constantly trying to slip into places to commit their mischief.
