Used to spend all my wages (£100 in 82) on clothes and booze in that order. Loved music too but didn`t get into buying it till I`d grown out of the fashion thing. Still like wearin some nice gear though, but obviously can`t spend as much these days.
I have never owned a shell suit , though in the 80`s I would have wore some of the colours you see on them

I have a problem with buying Adidas trainers must have 14 or 15 spend alot of my money on clothes an stuff, fjallraven coat is the most I have spent on one item around £200

I was a roofer many moons ago and wouldn`t be seen at work unless I was wearing at the least, a pair of Samba, a pair of Lois dark and a Benetton top. It used to kill me when I damaged them.

A strange, but yet highy enjoyable film.

the older trainer t shirts were better than some they do now. the trim trabb is one of my fav

its a decent little shop up in stoke

RAN in Liverpool is good.

does it sell trainers as well as clothes

i buy alot of my stuff from tessuti in Chester good rrange of brands

Yeah go there myself always have some good polo tops in there, RAN does have some trainers but SIZE? is just up the road from there and they had all the new adidas, prefer to get mine off ebay though because you cant get the classics in the shops anymore.

One of favourites is Earleys in Manchester. Not so much retro gear these days, but some nice clobber.

What a bizarre twist this thread has taken.....



From football hooliganism right through to the casual day wear of your humble chav....

Good shout is that mate. Tessuti is OK, however their prices are ridiculous, for what you pay for say a jacket in their you could probably pay for a weekend away.

Mate last time I went there I saw a jacket for £750

Should have been devious about it then shouldn't you. We know whats going on, get yerself a fineliner pen and place a dot in front of the 7, surely??

Go in wearing an already over sized coat and slip the jacket on underneath

for trainers i use wynsors world of shoes online they were selling some spezials and sl72 vintages a few months back wort checking out now and again

yeah i bought a s.i ventile multi pocket for £595 but he let me have it for £520 as a good will gesture

Do you have a pair of adidas Manchester?

Nah mate not got them wouldn't suit me ha there just spezial's really but with Manc on them, why? are you after a pair?

Bought a couple off there am after a pair of SL80 at moment

Nah, I'm not after some. Just seeing if you'd sport the words Manchester on your clothing



My dad's got a pair though

fleabay has a few little gems knocking about but plenty of cheap snides from asia

Ha nah not my thing don't think they would go down well on the Kop, got a pair of adidas dublins though, theres a pair of red adidas trimm trab that have Liverpool on them but they cost around £200 so I will just stick to my red adidas Gazelle

I'm not massive on trainers. I have a few pairs but I don't really collect them or go for a certain range, just whatever I like. My dad pretty much collects the adidas, he's got loads with a varying amount of Cities on them.

Sounds like he's got a few classics that you can't buy anymore, would love a pair of Milano or Berlin.
