Nice show of Legs-look better in Colour.
I am getting my Coat.

I seem to recall the tights (panty hose, for our colonial chums) had a pattern - diamond-shapes - up the legs?

Phew!!!! Off for a cold shower.

Photo taken inside one of the Palais Dancehalls.[/quote]The Ritz, in Manchester, had a sprung dancefloor and was a regular haunt for hundreds of us at weekends.

Always a good few scraps as crews from different areas came together and tried to nick each others' birds.

IIRC, the bouncers - not doormen - were properly team-handed and never the types of blokes you could reason with.

That said, from time to time, they would pick on the wrong people, and occasionally had to take their face(s) and teeth, home in a hankie.

Still there, in the city centre and the 'grab-a-granny nights' were - and maybe still are - the stuff of many a young man's (wet) dreams.

Went to the Ritz many years later(mainly on Sundays)for "Rare Soul" Dos.

Here is another Ed of the same girl with her friends.Looks like the same night.

Also M.O.M. I've saved almost every photo on this thread in my machine.Just for my own delight.(would never use them and cross you guys) If you need them or specific ones you know where to find 'em.

Why would you have Suede,Leather,Cord etc., Jackets bought out in London-in the Levi Style-if they were not popular?

More or less what I wondered in my last post, Colin.

Nice to see that famous photo in colour.

No info for this one unfortunately.
Sorry M-o-M, it's impossible to find who owns the copyright for these photos, they've been nicked so many times it's impossible to find out where they originally came from. (I've found some of yours (and mine) on quite a few sites too)
Now then.......
What about Army greatcoats?

That first one has been tinted!

I wondered where you were - thought you had dropped off the edge of the planet.

"What about Army greatcoats?" - What about them?

More or less what I wondered in my last post, Colin.

We have Photos of Mods/Skins from Satelite Towns around London( I have written about these)where they got their inspirations from London,not the North.On Saturday/Sunday mornings you could get the Fast to London(in Guildfords` Case,you could get to Waterloo in half an hour)and then go "Up West" or wherever.There were loads that did this-from all around London.You would meet in a Shop and chat.On the Line through Guildford,you had Woking,Surbiton,Walton-on-Thames all big Skin Towns.They also went to Football that way.So what would been worn 25/30 miles away would be worn in London.That happened in Manchester as well(if I have read the "Twisted Wheel" Book correctlt)but greater distances,because of People going to the Club.

 

[browniecj]

Buyers from these Town(who owned Fashion Shops)would buy their Stock etc.,from London.This was the case from the early Mod days.I actually bought my Royals from Timpsons in Dorking,Surrey-not the West End.I eventually bought all three Styles from the same Shop-when I went there Window Dressing.

All Levis had the Big E label, Think the Big E was dropped around 81...When Levis got ride of their old looms..for wider ones, The Japanese bought the old looms,

no, they dropped it in 1971!!! ---->>>>

Is the word LEVI’S

in all capital letters, or does it have a small letter “e” instead? The Tab with LEVI’S (also known as “Big E”) means that your jeans are from before 1971.
