Weird baggy jeans that, fashion demanded, you wore with a turn-up of 10 inches or more. I grew up in Coventry so my version of Mile End skins were the CCFC Boot Boys.

Huguenot Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Do you know that Harrringtons have no shoulder seams and deep pockets because they were designed as a golfing jacket? The lack of shoulder seams means they move more freely during the swing.Would skins and mods have known that they were being just so... middle class... when they wore them?

maxxi Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Or that when they wore Crombies with silk handkerchiefs they were being ex-military types? Or that the Pringle, Aquascutum, Burberry, Lyle and Scot etc. they wore as 'casuals' in the 80s or the Berghaus, Ralph Lauren and Barbour of today makes them a little sloaney?On reflection I don't think Harringtons would have made them feel like class traitors.

???? Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 Rubish - they were completley aware just carried it off with far more style.Working class youth culture up until to the 1980s tended to:Like to dress up (they wore overalls, tougher working clothes all week after all)Always liked the preppy lookReadily and unironically borrowed from more tailored upper class looks formally - ie teddyboys in edwardian drapes or uinformally egsportswear - FredperryetcIt's the middlecalss yoythcultures that have tended to either dressdown or look crap in stuff designed for them but not wearing it wirth any sense of style - think deck shoes; golfing jumpers, etc etcPS Talking malesNowadays as the white working class has gone young black guys dress the coolest (on the whole)Add that to your generalisations ;-) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18037-personal-fashion-faux-pas/page/2/#findComment-449246 Share on other sites More sharing options...
???? Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 ...anyway, short of wearing it in your underpants with a comic relief red nose, how anyone can put a Harrington in the Faux Pas list is beyond me. I'd have it as a fashion classic. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18037-personal-fashion-faux-pas/page/2/#findComment-449248 Share on other sites More sharing options...
