The Casual thing was big when I was 11/12 and it was always Sergio Tachinni, FILA (obvs!) , kickers, Farah, Lyle & Scott, Lacoste, Lois cords, Gabbichi……we wouldn’t have been seen dead in stone island and we never had a penny to scratch our arse with in the first place. You went out f***ing about from no age so you could afford to not look a state lol In a previous life , When I worked in textiles , late 90s early 00s , Lyle and Scott were on their arse .literally . We used to buy their polos and v necks wholesale at 6.59 and 12.59 respectively and had a small annex nationwide in our larger stores. They were an old man’s brand and used a lot of the floor space in stores in the highlands , Glasgow and Devon respectively to get by. around 2002 their sales in the likes of metro , York , Leeds, Manchester , uni towns would spike massively in august / September due to the university students embracing pub golf during freshers weeks . I ordered thousands from them and they would sell out immediately. As a thank you , I was an approved user and would get , only up until a few years back , a parcel from a lad I knew in Hawick , of their sampled menswear gratis . 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rarely would he lose his respectful tone with an opponent. I really admire it. I believe it shows a level of maturity and mental strength/endurance that for most us doesn't survive 'first contact'. Tbf you're very good at it too. He’s a scouse schlepper !! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think people do .
