Mod to Suedehead

Botolph · Apr 22, 2013

We have butchers coats here in the US Elwood, but wearing them to sporting events has never been a thing. Clever and I imagine they got the point across! :happy:

Beat me to it Bassett,M&S do great Cardigans-saw some Sleeveless (with Pockets the other day).Not my size though.Also their 3 Button Merino Wool Polo Jumpers are comfortable to wear(similar to John Smedleys-but half the Price).I know it is more Mod than Skinhead.

This was a very short Fad,in the early 70s-did not last long though.

Back in the 60s,loved wearing Sleeveless Pullovers.I had them in a variety of Colours.Also the Thin Lambswool Jumpers were good with Jeans or Cords.I only had one thick Chunky Cardigan(with the old Football Style Buttons on),in Rust Colour I think.I was lucky to pick up a couple of Sleeveless Chunky Cardigans(Deadstock) about a year ago-in Navy and Wine.I think they look alright with Trousers or Jeans.Never really caught on in the 60s though.

Not without the Pockets-and the Bottom Buttons look odd to me.I have a rotound Belly so the Buttons would not lay right.

Both cream and mustard sleeveless cardies for me in '69.

Had a gold(ish) pair of Levi's Sta-prest, too.
