Angle Flight was a brand of pants from the mid-to-late 1970s. Made by
Dockers, IIRC. There were some that were rather obnoxious from a style
standpoint, but others were basically dress slacks with wide legs / bell
bottoms. They weren't the same as we saw back in the 1960 where we had
pants legs that basically followed the contour of the leg until around the
knee or calf and then spread out to be a large bell bottom. They were
more
a gradual expansion the whole way down to the bottom of the pants legs.
You could actually wear platform shoes and the toe of the shoe would not
be
exposed. The main advantage of them was that there was enough space in
the
ankle area that you could literally wear a full frame M1911-series .45 in
an ankle holster and no one would be able to tell. That was back in the
days before fanny packs and other clothes usually fit too tightly to
easily
conceal a large frame handgun like a .45.

I always carried in the small of my back with a clip-on holster from Milt
Sparks. Uncomfortable while driving, but then you would just pull it out,
empty the chamber, drop the mag and leave it where you could quickly put it
on the dash in case you got pulled over, which I did fairly often.

Here is a trip back;

I had a 74 Nova SS with a factory LT1 and a 4 speed Saginaw (they only made
1200 of them), 3,000 pound McCloud centrifugal assist clutch, Offenhauser
manifold with a Carter Thermoquad and Super Pump, dual point distributor, an
Iskendarian 375 horse hydraulic cam with anti pump-up lifters, Superflo
headers (they had little dents in the pipes so you could just get a plug
wrench onto the plugs) with 2 1/2" dual exhaust pipes, 36" Mitchell glass
packs and resonators so it was very quiet, but could breathe, and a limited
slip diff. Bench seats, Concord cassette deckbacked up by a Zappco 150 watt
amp and parametric equalizer with Acoustic Research AR10's mounted up to the
rear deck inside the trunk. Talk about laying some rubber.

I'd give my left nut to have that car today.

Although there were some that looked acceptable, for the most part, the
mid-to-late 1970s are an era that many of us would like to be able to
forget.

Seared. *Seared*.

Or wish they could remember...

Gawd.

I took the other route. I always wore levis, flannel shirts and "waffle
stompers" (from REI of course) so I stood out, was organic, and got more
*** than the fags in Angels Flight with the vests, shirts unbuttoned to
their navel and the medallions.
