    Cerneabbas, It can get quite cold here during the winter months - June/July/August especially at night, but it's never really as cold as England gets. I've never seen anyone in a sheepskin here, but I'm sure you would find people wearing them up in the mountains of the Drakensburg where it snows...

    Cerneabbas, you've just triggered a long forgotten memory for me going back to 1970! I pestered the hell out of my Mum and Dad to buy me a Sheepskin & I remember there was a factory shop or outlet store of some sort in Somerset. Eventually we all piled in the car and took a drive down to...

    Hi Cernabbas, I left Bristol in 1973. I have both of Chris's books and related quite a bit to the things he writes about. I went back once in about '80 and it had changed a lot even then. Haven't been back since and have been out of the UK since '83.

    Of course, yes you're right - the memory's not what it used to be. Can you remember if those zip up cardigans had a specific name?

    Can anyone remember, particularly the Bristol guys, that in the early to mid 70s (I think) there was a fashion to wear zip up jumpers/cardigans with two stripes of a contrasting colour around the bicep. They seemed, in hindsight, to follow the football teams colours - Red/Black, Claret/Blue...

    Did any of you lads ever see the phenomenon of a group of blokes all wearing more or less the same thing? We had a gang around our way that wore almost identical clothing - A red Harrington, Levis, Ox Blood DMs and the the only thing that varied was the Ben Sherman or Fred Perry. It was...

    I'd be interested to hear what you guys think of these. I picked them up about 5 years ago in Nelspruit of all places, on the way to the Kruger Park. I think they look right, but I don't know the brand - Nunn Bush, made in India.

    Slightly off topic I know, but here's a question for all on here. When you were young, what clothing did you hate having to wear? For me it was Darned Socks - my mum insisted on darning my worn out socks until they literally fell apart. I can still remember the horrible scratchy feeling of the...

    Hello Chaps, this is Billy from sunny South Africa. I have finally finished reading this thread from page 1 to page 849. Quite a marathon read, but well worth it. This has got to be the most accurate account I have ever read of the style I love so much. The memories that have resurfaced after...

    Introduce yourself.

    Hi all, Billy here. I'm an ex-pat Brit living in Johannesburg, South Africa. I've been lurking on this forum for a good while now and decided I should finally sign up and try to make some contributions.... Decent clobber is unbelievably expensive here in SA, so I spend much of my time trying...
