But you've to remember there still made in London not f***ing China. Think they'd of kept them at 200 but goverment will be taking a big cut off Trickers. Came in box with two blue fabric boot bags to put them away. Lol. Made me laugh that when I opened box. Did they come with the boot bags back then 25 year ago I'm sure they're made in Nottingham mate which has always been the bootmaking capital of the UK.The trickers Stow boot that I had are well over 500quid now.

THE STIFFMEISTER 16,792 Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 Think as a man you Need to have a few good quality items such as a good coat , good shoes , a good belt (pampeano) and the obligatory suit . able to tie a tie properly , able to do a bow tie , able to iron and maintain your clothes . never been as simple for a man these days to look decent , the price of decent clothes these days is incomparable to the 00s . Stone island / cp / burberry / sonnetti all that going out stuff was a few quid looking back , I remember having a pair of sonnetti jeans , a stone island jumper, jack wolf skin jacket and a pair of rockports , probably the best part of 700 bar on. these days , it a pair of primark jeans ( 8 quid , wear once and fire ) a band t shirt ( 15 quid online ) , a pair of desert boots ( Roamers £30) and any old jacket will do , out the door .

tatsblisters 10,933 Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 Remember monkey boots in the early 70s that were sold in the army navy store in Rotherham though they were mostly worn by girls and it was the ox blood doc martins worn by older lads at the church youth club. Think i was still wearing the kid's shoes you could get with animal footprints on the soles and a little leather pocket with a compass in it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
downsouth 8,333 Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 I think it's down to whatever people like to spend their hard earned readies on.Some people love a flash car,Some its expensive holidays.some will do half there wages a week on fag's,beer and weed.Ive always liked smart clobber and a nice aftershave.Maybe it's down to having to wear whatever we were given as a kid,Stuff off the market or hand me downs/shitty brand trainers etc that the second I could earn my own money I bought nice gear and always make sure my daughter can wear whatever she likes.One thing my missus said that first attracted me to her was I was always dressed smart and spotless and smelt really nice.Lucky really as I'm a right ugly,bald c**t with glasses and in reality she's well out of my league. 3 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
