I guess we all thought we were dashing Regards Alan Any pics? Just talking to my dad about what he wore back in the day, he fondly remembers Ben Sherman in shades of lemon and pink Dashing is one word for it, did anyone not just wear denim cut offs and crop tops?

Grace Hi Grace, Some of my mates at the time wore denim jeans and denim tops, others wore suits (in Sheffield the trend tended to be Barney Goodman suits loads of padding in the shoulders) one mate had a coat he called his rug, it was dark brown and looked as if he had taken it off of a bears back. If I have any pictures of the era I would have to scan them. Regards Alan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webntweb Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I had a round neck collarless cord Beatles jacket with silver colour buttons and matching cord trousers. I wore them with a pair of black suede beetle crushers. Unfortunately haven't got any pics. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Jay, you don't know what you missed. The Twiggy look, the mini. Ooooh, time for my medication. Coiln 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VetChugger Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 That roundel was an emblem used by The Who back then. I also had a range of "wet look" shirts! As time went on my Levis had more patches than original denim. Used to stumble around in DIY leather moccasins courtesy of "The Scout Shop"! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I haven't even started yet, hick, but the music and the girls were discovering a new freedom.

Brentwood also had the "posh" pubs and I recall one of the first themed steak restaurants on the road form Romford to Brentwood. A typical meal was: prawn cocktail, steak well done & black forest gateau; you were then herded into the coffee lounge so they could get the next cover at the table.

Your probably correct. I should have started a new thread for it. It definitely deserves one to itself.

Regulo Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I love the way threads wander. We start with the economic outlook for the coming season, and two pages later we're reminiscing about 60's fashions, while considering the merits of leggings on those who shouldn't EVER be wearing them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM was explaining to me how much I missed out on regarding the 60's fashion and music. He hasn't convinced me yet although I am sorry for my contribution to derailing the thread.
