3. This one came in several colors,
but they were all neutral = beige, brown, gray, navy. I remember that my brother-in-law had a lime-green one.

8. As a kid, I had a lime green one and a tan shirt with brown horses on it
The shirt, of course, was polyester and had a butterfly collar.

:P

11. What's a leisure suit?

Not familiar with the term (in English at least), so I don't know.

17. I'm trying to say something
witty about the orange shirt, but I'm at a loss for words. The jacket, however, looks um... roomy.
