Top Gear

No not the car show, or nose fuel or any other drugs. What fashion perennials do you think stand the test of time ? Is there anything you wore in your youth that you still do or would wear now ? Women seem to change there outfits every week and sometimes in a day but most geezers love a classic. What are yours. Hows about
The addidas Samba a classic trainer from the 1980's, best in blue suede I still wear mine now sometimes

Ha! I see what you mean. I don't actually wear all these together or own them all at the same time. I do like my threads and I suppose I am a bit Moddish but really it's just stuff that in it's way is timeless. ;D

Re: Top Gear

Never owned Samba trainers but loads of my friends have, or the Doc Martens which would come useful when kicking someone in the head.

Yeah I don't wear doc's anymore but love me trainers. I have always loved me clothes and been quite adventurous and stylish to make up for my ugly mug. The top gear I listed where really just an example of British design classics (except the 501's) that have stood the test if time. Guys like Paul Smith and British Tailoring have managed to retain that reputation.

Actually obviously the trainers aren't British either. I have come to the conclusion that I am full of krap.

Re: Top Gear

Remember the parker coats when I was a kid, they were dangerous if you had the hood on all the way. We were warned at school not to put the hood on as you would be at risk of getting knocked down by a car.

Re: Top Gear

Typically I will wear smart jeans, button shirts, nice sweaters, jackets with white Adidas trainers or my brown leather lace ups. It's cold so a winter jacket too. I am very straightforward sartorially.

Can't believe Rave Culture is now Retro Fashion. I Remember these back in the day (and the ones with "just add LSD). Still have a Smart e's sweatshirt.

Re: Top Gear

I'm like my clothes I probably end up buying a new piece of clothing every week which isn't good because I can't afford it! ;D I recently got a pair of Levi's but there not 501's there 511..skinny :-X que the insults!

I would like to get a Fred Perry polo shirt but there a bit pricey so I'll have to wait until I can afford one. I also like the doc martins but I could never see myself wearing them plus I already have a couple pairs of different boots.

Re: Top Gear

Substitute the samba with some campus and Im there. Every mans shoe collection should include at least one pair of converse all star.

I dont buy clothes that often but I did think yesterday I could probably do with a grey and a black pair of these. We all had um.
