Victorian Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Ok here goes. Might be a few revisits. Non clobber. A ****ing bouffant hair-do. A wee chin goatee. Clobber. Satin shirts. Surfing shirts. Day-glow coloured designer Oxford shirts. Cuban heeled boots. Winkle pickers. Carpet jacket. Stuff out of Sweater Shop. No comprehension of wearing stuff that fits.

There was a Hardcore black donkey jacket, a K-Way rain jacket, could never get cords to fit at all. The worst was a patchwork jacket, must have been 250 quid in 1990. It was ****** awful but just wanted it. I also tried to follow Chris Lowe's fashions.. looked better on him than me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Gordons Gloves Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I once owned a Sergio Tacchini (sp) Shellsuit jacket in purple, green and yellow. I remember wearing McKenzie jumpers teamed with a pair of chipie jeans and blue kickers boots and thinking i was the epitome of a casual I've also owned brown cords at one point and thought nothing of wearing a denim shirt with a white polo neck underneath it...
