Mrmick Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) If you look at the posters carefully apart from the girl in full circle skirt no one is in flares and vest with badges on their vests...remember in 80 to 84 We all wore jeans or pegs with a white belt and a smart shirt, think about what you wore at oddfellows, cleethorpes winter Gardens etc. Never saw you in flares or a vest with patches on. Remember you in a grandad shirt lol. I am referring to the person who goes out now with 40 inch flares and a vest. That was fashionable in 73 maybe 74. But now to me it looks wrong. If I went out in a 90s shell suit it would look wrong as well.. Sorry if I offended you. Mick Edited April 20 by Mrmick Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Confidentially like, and I wouldn't want to be outed, but I wore a pair of denim bags to the Birmingham Locarno once. Peter Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
