Terrace fashion collections of past

in General Charlton
After reaching the age of 50 last year realised my trainer obsession had to stop and did thin out the collection 99% adidas still probably got 20 pairs of gazelles i just couldnt part with!
After sorting out my warddrobes and loft now realised i also had an obsession with trackie tops as well as trainers!
havent got round to the fila ones yet? Probaby 15 or more of them as well!
Time to thin these out as well as i think 50 is far to old to be wearing these although of course i look much younger! Well ive still got hair!

    I have an 18 year old son who will happily take any large file tops off your hands. Those Bjorn Borg ones will do.

    Think there is quite a few borg ones some are origanals from the early/ mid 80s think most are medium which realy means small as they were undersized

    Should hold on to these in case the fashions come back round. I still have dungerees from 87 hoping for the day to return.

    If it no longer fits you might as well let it go to a good home @TellyTubby

    I know a Museum who would look after it.

    I was wearing this in 1976 or 1977? I seem to struggle to get it on these days. Don't know why.

    If you look carefully, you might see paddy Powell's signature. imageimageimage

    You lucky bastard, my fav kit ever. If it was mine, I'd go on hunger strike until it fitted.

    I showed this to Steve along with other things but he had no interest.

    I'll be interested in any Fila/Ellesse tracksuit tops you might have.

    Plus if you have any Pringle v-neck jumpers.

    Your optimism inspires me. I won't, just yet, chuck out my '70s Kickers. (White with red stitching.)
