richy65 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Pringle sweaters were one of my favourites. I used to wear one with Tacchini track bottoms, wish I’d still got my Adidas Trimm Trab trainers, loved those. Had loads of Fila and Kappa etc. moved on to Boss, Armani and Lacoste these days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richy65 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Another favourite of mine was my Burberry jacket, was gutted when I got blood on it after an Albion v Villa match! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pringle diamond pattern was a regular sight for the casuals iirc, along with Lyle and Scott roll neck or a Lyle and scott jumper. Farahs for school, or a pair of light blue or yellow farahs for going out. Into Mintz and Davis Saturday morning with my mates spending all their YTS money of a single item.

Butch Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 I really want to buy myself an Alpha Industries flight jacket, they're warm, comfy but arguably I'll look like a muppet wearing one to the pub. It's going to be one of those frivolous purchases I'll never wear, like my suede waistcoat I got when I was 22, thought I looked the bees knees, when actually I looked like a 22 year old who'd raided his Dad's wardrobe lol. Can't beat a pair of Brogues and a pair of stay pressed either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a re-released Pringle Argyle jumper from.Stuarts of London set you back around £220 nowadays though 😳 I've got a few Trimm Trabs though. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farahs were bang on back in the day... Not so sure I'd wear them now. I bought a Patrick Cagoul on re-release about a year back always had good memories of them.early 80s I think I've had it on twice the memory was better than reality they are shite and belong back in the 80s 555 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to last out until I return home in a few weeks time! Robinson's has a nice shoe selection mate. I think there is one near a BTS station. Might grab a new pair there before you head back. The girls will think you are some kind of cheap Charlie. 55555555555 ! You helped me find those sandals that time. Still have them, but never wear them up here. Defo. be wearing them in HH and Buriram. Edited January 24 by Glasseye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasseye Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Only old piece of clothing I ever would like to still have was my old worn out Levi's jean jacket (with the big YES iron on emblem on the back of it). Also had a big patch on it from a burn hole. One night when out camping I fell asleep next to a camp fire. Rolled over into the embers, burned a hole through it. Friggen thing probably saved me from 3rd degree burns. I have a very nice old leather coat, a couple very nice sport coats, one decent suit, several nice shirts that will probably last the rest of my life.

Derek Dangleberries Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) In the early '70s it was.. - Ox Blood Doc Martens - Faded parallel jeans with sewn in turnups (flares were already old fashioned !!!). Definitely no holes and none of that stone wash bullshit! - Faux US Marine T-Shits - Wrangler jean jacket with Leeds badges sewn on. (My cream Harrington was kept for nights out in Manchester. Mainly in C'est La Vie one and two. Worn with casual Marine Green trousers) - Two Leeds scarves one tied neatly worn inside buttoned up Wrangler jacket. One worn tied to the wrist! The original scarf circa 1976 Edited January 24 by Derek Dangleberries 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maipenrai Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Gosh, wasn't aware we had so many current or ex-fashionistas on the board - being a colonial bumpkin from the boonies, I never gave much thought to fashion, I just wore clothes that suited my lifestyle - jeans, t-shirts, etc - I did have a nice old fringed buckskin leather jacket that my elder brother had bought from a starving hippy in Morocco for a few of my teenage ears until I outgrew it. Although I can recall back in 1967 when I was 11 years old and the "Mod" craze hit England - one of my friends had a whole set of these clothes bought for him by his parents and when I beseeched my own parents for an equivalent outfit, their howls of derision and scorn sent me scurrying away swiftly - can't say I blame them now, the stuff did look ridiculous and of course we couldn't afford stuff like that anyway.

I don't really wear them now TBH uncomfortable compared to a lot of the flatter suedes or runners. Looked great with semi flared cords or jeans back then though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butch Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 (edited) Kappa Sport Ski Jackets were also pretty popular iirc. I stuck to my Flight Jacket though, the colours didn't suit my pasty complexion lol.
