Dreamscape Jackets, Spliffy Jeans and clothes that were cool when you was younger

[oneflewover]

Ben Sherman shirt, Levi sta-press, brogues (with segs) and Harrington. The epitome of cool. If I could reduce my middle age spread. I'd wear them now! (without the segs).

Technics/DMC Display Jackets, Troop tracksuits, even British Knights for a little while.

I thought I was the coolest thing alive with Troop shellsuit, wraparound shades and stereo on the shoulder. We even hung out outside the local convenience store. Oh dear.

Oh yes, massive Eclipse jeans, XTC jacket, technics jumper with cat boots.

I also had a pair of BKs

I felt so fucking cool

Spliffy was for the 'scratters' at my school...

 

[girasol]

I don't know what half of these things are

I was always shit at remembering names of clothing items, so come on urban people, put some photos up!

this thread reminds me of reading American Psycho, lol, when he described everything he was wearing and I couldn't even visualise him as I didn't know what the hell he was on about.

he he, had the chat in the pub last night, bumbags and global hypercolour and neon socks, chelsea boots and dready jeans, joe bloggs tshirts, fruit of the loom sweaters, benneton stuff then from high school... stripy tights and big floppy velvet hats, DM's and boys with "curtains"

What the fuck were those hideous shoes that boys had, they were a bit like moccasons with stitching round the top and little leather laces and little tassles? Mr S claims they're for wearing on yachts...

 

[DrRingDing]

Spliffy and Eclipse stuff was never fashionable.

Although as you can see some of my mates would insist on wearing it.

(I'm on the far right)

What those brands were imitating were things like Dossee Possee ( ), GIO GOI (not fucking Gorgio), Peaky, etc etc

 

[scumbalina]

Oh yeah ^^sticking your tongue on your chin and going "DRGHHHH" was also cool


ETA...god I hope you are doing that, if not, sorry

Don't worry here I am with a good mate who made the fashion crime of ginger hair and orange jacket, which also made him instantly recognisable to anyone witnessessing our misbehaviour and reporting us to the police.

[bluestreak]

I was wearing torn off black jeans shorts and black tshirts, brushing greasy lank hair out of my eyes

[bluestreak]

You were being fashionable just a different fashion (metal? grunge?).

We were cheesy quavers, we had the best laughs and by far the best drugs in my school.

 

[DrRingDing]

I can't believe I'm posting in this bum hole of a forum.

I must admit me and Mr S have just spent the last 2 minutes wetting ourselves at the idea of how funny it would be if that was actually your face...
