It's a Levi denim jacket isn't it? Or a "wrangler" like we used to call them, no matter what the brand, back in the day on the Wirral.

Mine was made by Lee as at the age of 12 wearing clothes with my own name on the tag seemed cool as fuck.
Growing up in Gloucester, we always called them Levi's too. Best matched with a pair of skintight denim jeans (which were probably more elastane than denim) made by a brand called Cosmic, which were £9.99 and seemingly only available from a stall in Gloucester cattle market, rather than any proper shops.It's a Levi denim jacket isn't it?

Over our way it used to be impossible to get a decent pair of skin-tight black jeans and the only shirts we had were those bootleg ones that seem to sell for lots of money now. Wish I'd kept them!Phantasmagoria wrote:Growing up in Gloucester, we always called them Levi's too.

For some reason this talk of skin-tight jeans reminds me of when I first moved to Wales back in 1990 or thereabouts. Bunch of townies drove past me, walking down Swansea Kings Road, and yelled out of the window "Oi, you skinny legged goth hippy!"abridged wrote:Over our way it used to be impossible to get a decent pair of skin-tight black jeans and the only shirts we had were those bootleg ones that seem to sell for lots of money now.

Yes, indeed! I used to wear lycra cycling shorts under mine, so as not to appear too... obscene! My pair had to last me years, so by the time they finally disintegrated, they were more like a thong at the rear!markfiend wrote:Those skintight stretchy black jeans were a tenner from a stall in Leeds Market too. They had an alarming tendency for the stitching in the crotch to come undone as I recall
I used to get mine on Worthing market.
If they were a bit too loose, I'd turn them inside out & run a couple of rows of stitches with my mum' sewing machine up the inside leg to ensure a proper "sprayed on" look.
you are quite right of course: i had completely failed to take into account the fact of his 14 years as a band member.eotunun wrote:I heard Ben is around fourty, so if you started early…eastmidswhizzkid wrote: i wrote "The Sisters Of Mercy- fuck all the haters" as a comment to Ben's posting the pic and got a 'like' from Mr.Christo.

There must (hopefully) be a reason Andrew is suddenly happy to pose for "official" group shot.
