70'STYLE CLOTHES GOT TALKING ON HEATWAVE POST

Thought i would put some memories up of the stupid clothes we wore back in the day.

Oxford bag trousers with side pockets we used to put our hands in the pockets and hold them out ,they looked massive .

Platform shoes,
Tank tops,
Brutus patchwork shirts,

Black Cromby coats with a red silk hanky in the top pocket.


A small wrangler denim jacket worn in all weathers,in the depths of winter,I was so glad when the parker coats came back into fashion at least they were warm.

Doctor Martin boots with coloured laces and the extra high boot if you could find them.

Monkey boots where the earlier version of dms as we called them.

These were just some of the silly clothes we wore back then ,

oh and a cheese cloth shirt and the buttons would keep coming undone constantly.

Please add more memories of the stupid things we wore and thought we looked cool.

I did laugh when I read your wardrobe month.
Monkey boots !!
Remember the original Harrington jacket,still see them on the terraces today.
I did like desert boots and a fred perry.

Friday night in the borough pub st Mary's street nothern soul music.

Still got my old welsh bracers from the 70,s they used to hold up my white denim jeans with a bit of red tartan on the bottom of the leg,could have been city rollers there seemed to be a lot about,and Prince of Wales trousers all check colours.

My monkey boots were brown with yellow/mustard coloured laces ,I hate all the crap thing about trainers these days, never been a lover of but I am sure I am in the minority but never wanted to be a sheep all the same ,be individual

Don't forget the wide white snickers, bit of A Clockwork Orange vibe and the stud in the crombie pocket.

How about your mum sending you to school in cripalean trousers !!!!

A good post!
Made me laugh remembering some of that gear but I was strictly Levis and t-shirt all the way through.
Still am!

I did wear cheesecloth shirts back in the 70s though.

I also had some silly corduroy shoes like a mink colour hopeless in the wet

Don’t know what Cardiff was like, in the early 70s but the streets of Glasgow were immaculate, because we kept them swept with our ridiculous Aline flares.

Jock try finding a pair of flares for men these days, virtually impossible unless you go to a vintage shop ,
but women can get them anywhere.

F.cksake you must have been warped for life.
Mother's can be so cruel. Ha.

Ian
I had a red silk hanky folded a certain way in my top pocket,
Otherwise you would have looked like some magician performing an act.ha.

We all looked like the "Brady bunch"

After my punk era mid to late 70's I slipped into 2 tone, Specials, The Beat, Selector.....a bit of Madness on the fringes.

Pork Pie hat, Fred Perry shirt covered with a red Harrington jacket, a thin black and white tie on occasions, two tone shiny drainpipe trousers, blue/mauve was my preferred choice, a pair of white socks surrounded by a pair of black Lofa slip on shoes.

Sounds crazy now but it didn't half attract the women! Great days.

Accesories also where are gold or silver chain around your neck a ring with a Black stone and a packet of the strangest packet of cigarettes to impress the girls if you thought you were French it was a squishy packet of dis blue cigarettes bloody awful
Or cowboy malabro cigarettes and long black More cigarettes.

If there were no birds "girls" around you usually ended up with number 6 or if you were short of cash number 10s or worse gold packet of sovereign cigarettes.
Chris must have looked a dick,
and before anyone says it, i have changed.

In hindsight I think you are right, but good days nonetheless.

Jock

Hard going walking against the wind for you then, in a pair of lionel's

Used to have a great pair of patched loon pants!

Would never have thought in a million years that flares would make a comeback but they seem to be the only style worn by young girls nowadays.

Forgot to add brut/& denim aftershave

And after seeing the adverts with a load of girls chasing some bloke banging on a pipe smoking Bruno roughest I actually saw young men trying to smoke pipes .
Its usually cannabis today in a pipe
My mate tried a pipe sparked it up in a pub but had no tobacco,
but he had knicked a handful of tea bags from somewhere,
and his pipe had a lid on it ,
he opened it up setting light to the tea bags stuffed in the pipe hilarious caught fire I could'nt stop laughing ,
What the f.ck was said a lot that day ,great memories.

This post has had me laughing,monty you should arrange a 70s night !!
Thank you for making me laugh.
We must have looked frightening on the terraces back in the day,we won't go into the haircuts!!
