The Look goes on...
I read somewhere that the ' Warriors come out to play' line was improvised. The film came out in 79 but they were describing the NYC gang scene of the late 60s/ early 70s. Re fashion and Mafia films, I generally prefer their casual wear to the suits. When I saw a Bronx Tale, soon afterwards I...- Fruitbat

With my first wage packet I bought a pale blue Lacoste cardigan, which my Mum bless her sewed some brass buttons. Brass buttons were all the rage in 82, probably stemming from Aquascurum blazers which we all wanted but few of us could afford. I remember when Seve Ballesteros use to wear...- Fruitbat

Mod to Suedehead
Before my time obviously, but I'd hazard a guess at 68. As far as I'm aware, there was a comparative lull in Bank Holiday hostilities between Mods and Rockers post 65, even though it was well over hyped in the first place, and Skins and Grebos in 69. According to Pete Meaden, he knew Mod was...- Fruitbat

I like it. In 99 I gave away an olive green Burberry raincoat to a fella I barely knew, at a clubbing after party I most have been off my head- in fact I was off my head!- Fruitbat

You must be the same age as me. My first holiday with my mates was in a Caravan camp in Cornwall, Summer 82. Irene Cara's Fame was Number 1 in the charts, and a fella called Shane from Birmingham won the Disco Dancing Competition- Fruitbat

Re Summer Apparel. Similar to Jimmy Ballantine, shorts, linen shirts and polos plus loafers. My hot weather wardrobe is however more outre than other seasons. I don't mind flowery shirts, Hawaiian shirts, Bowling shirts, or a certain brand of Italian T-Shirt in lairy colours. I've got of a...- Fruitbat

I've never owed anything Stone Island. I appreciate that the materials used are extremely hi-tech, and that their clothes are no doubt durable, but I've just never really ' got them'. A few mates started wearing their jackets to football mid/ late 90s- by 98 they were hooligan wear. Apart from...- Fruitbat

What he hell was moleskin? I had a couple of moleskin trousers in the 90s. I guess it was a synthetic velvet- suede, unless they were actually made from moles.... Be a good one for the passport. Occupation- Mole Farmer- Fruitbat

I think that Greenaway lifted the Zigger Zagger chant from an obscure play about 60s hooligans written by a bloke called Peter Terson. Your right, it was to the tune of Oggy Oggy Oggy, which a lot of us would associate with the Welsh comic Max Boyce- Fruitbat

There used to be a Flip in Long Acre Covent Garden. Re Greenaway he had an incredibly loud voice- you could hear his zigger zagger if you were in the opposite stand. People used to stand up and give him a round of applause when he took his seat before the game. In his own way he was one of the...- Fruitbat
