OK we all know that London is the centre of the universe and that all fashion/trends/cults emerge from this great city (although the Casual scene may dispute this) but just because you Cockney geezers haven't seen a particular item of clothing/footwear/headwear it doesn't mean that it's necessarily a bad/Northern thing and to dismiss it out of hand surely?
Oh well, let's get me wellies on, start up me tractor and go out and dig up some mangel wurzels. Ooooh, aaaar.

But a few things seemed to happen independently outside London - mainly the things that Roy says we wouldn't be seen dead in - and some things never seemed to catch on outside London (I remember the looks I got on my first trip back to Blackpool, when I was wearing a pair of jungle greens!).

Had a wee play with it and took some light/exposure up and shadows down... and enlarged.

Edit: Is the boy, third from left, waggling his finger through his flies?
Priceless!!!

Y'know, that's a bloody awful jacket, when you stop to think of it - the bleach patches. I'm trying to remember why I borrowed it. Maybe I was cold. I would never have worn it in London. I was either cold, or I was showing my mate how we used to wear them when I lived up North - two buttons done up. That two-hands-in-the-arse-pockets thing is very 'North' too. Maybe I was having a relapse.
The past seems to become all hazy...

Anyone remember those 'Boot Boy ' era jeans they wore in the North called Skinners .. huge baggy fuckers with massive turnups worn half mast with DM's . Awful. Obviously shops selling the OG clobber were initially in London and much of the 'Look ' comes from the London Gentlemen / City banker which again was obtainable but very expensive .
