Remember thinking me and my mates were the mutts nuts wearing those, we bought them on a school trip to Germany so we were about a year ahead of them being worn by everyone else!

I agree it is, it was just flirting with another 60s genre at the time. I was quite 60s obsessed in my youth but I've got back into mod again. More so than I was around 38 years ago. I reckon there are more clothes retailers selling the gear now and more events to go to than during the revival years. Once a mod always a mod.
