edited November 2006 in General Charlton
For me i loved the early 80s!Wearing your lacoste,armani fila and best trainers trim tram ,stan smiths and following Charlton all over the country!great days!mind you i still do.Its amazing that this fashion is still going and was really started by the scousers in the late 70s,i know this dont appeal to everybody but what was your best designer clobber for football and who do you think were the best dressed fans in the past.

    i've always loved Lacoste. Don't know why but has always been my favourite label. I stock up on Ralph Lauren when in US as its half the price, but otherwise Burberry, Aquascutum, Paul Smith, Stone Island etc do nothing for me to be honest.

    Quite like some Henri Lloyd gear...

    And it was only started by the scousers because they were thieving on their European games !

    I remember once standing at the fence behind the old weststand near the old clock early 80s and Brighton fans were the otherside good hundred or so dressers i looked behind and the old charlton lads were wearing all the latest designer gear hundreds of us!thousands of pounds of clothes on both sides that day!Also when we played pompey that same year could have been a advert for fashion

    original wine coloured gazelles with heel tag, lyle and scot jumpers, perry polos, lacoste originals, barracuta harringtons, love em all.

    been caning the paul smith recently, even got a scarf off work for me 30th.

    got involved in the stone island thing about 6 years ago but i'll leave that to the spotty youth now.

    the british classics are the best imo.

    I have got into the habit of wearing a CAFC Football Cap. Normally wear one of my Dad's CAFC's cast offs, he gets shed loads of new CAFC coats rugby shirts etc, then when we get a new sponsor or at the start of a new season he gets everything all over again & passes me down the one year out of date stuff. No -one else where footie stuff no more ?

    As for wearing designer gear to football, balls to that, my Gucci Shoes will never see the inside of the Valley.

    as a younger fan i'll give my perspective. Really like the casual gear favourite labels: ralph lauren, paul and shark, hackett, fred perry, paul smith, 6876.
    Getting more into older gear eg Trim Trabb, forest hills, harrington jackets etc. Would love to have been around in the casual era.
    Got a couple of Stone island bits but taken the badge off, gone the same way as Burberry really.
