Nice one jimbrannin,the casual era was great fella!was always a great buzz!Trim Trabb was my fav and still is!to be honest the casual ere is still alive!however not on the same scale
Got a pair of Trim Trab want another pair but cant get them anywhere now. I also like Adidias munchen trainers and gazelles. Nothing comes close to adidas for footwear.
For me currently - the subtle stuff... AJ, Hope and Glory, Lacoste, Ralph Lauren, Hackett, Paul and Shark, subtle Henri Lloyd stuff, some items of Prada
Nice one PalaceHater!Subtle is the way!i hate man u but there chaps aka Men In Black have started this trend!and to be honest it is the way to go in my opinion
Has to be Ben Sherman shirt with pleat down the back,Staprest or tonic trousers,white socks and brogues with blakeys,And of course a Harrington, Had to look smart in them days,nice warm black crombie full length coat for the winter.
You cant beat a pair of adidas trainers be it either gazelles, forest hills , trimm trabbs , speizals .Got untold pairs cant help it I love 'em !Nike Wimbledons or Diadora Borg Elite as well
Polo shirts you've got to go for a Ralph , Lacoste or Lyle & Scott .
Like to wear your modern day stuff, Fred Perry, Henri lloyd being particular favourites, also like Ralph Lauren some pieces of Aquascutum and prada and a few other bits that sometimes catch my eye, In to the old school stuff now, often find myself eyeying up a fila BJ jacket on ebay and as previously stated, Adidas footwear is great, currentley have a pair of Stan Smiths but noticed a pair of Forest Hills that I will be buying in the next week or 2.
Was really into stone island back in the day. used to visit Liverpool a few times a year to re-stock(there was a great shop there) On one occasion after bowling around in my new silvery green 3/4 lenght jacket (why?) i got chased by 4 locals up an alleyway where the little scallies gave me the option of being cut or handing over the coat,not much of a choice.After meeting up with my 2 pals and wondering around freezing i spotted one of the little F*****s on his own wearing my bloody jacket !!! We managed to corner him, kick the S**T out of the little B'stard and get back my much loved jacket. Was well chuffed until i tried it on, Wrong bloody size!!!! All scousers look the same when your angry!! Poor B'stard had proberly saved for about 2 years.
Vividly remember Nic Naks in Soho. Used to use the shop SWANK a couple of doors down, then if i had any change left, the £1 revolving letter boxes opposite. Oh the smell of detergant.
Swank was a good shop!but Nic Naks took some beating!i use to get the train from Eltham station then known as Well Hall after each pay day and get my clobber from there!Pure fashion and the casual era will never go away!Wear your Armani with pride!
Pure Armani!love it!in the early 80s at pompey!pompey lads were offering me at least £80 more for the jacket than it was worth!think to this day i done the best thing and slipped out the back door to Fratton
04, I used to buy you and Sam loads of trainers. Cant remember getting you the elites. I liked the various Sergio Tacchinni trackies back in the eighties. Also the Stonewash faded jeans (light blue). When are they coming back in? (faded jeans, cant get them anywhere). Louis jeans?
