They are called Overdubs, but apart from the name they are identical to Rekords came with a spare set of green laces as well, haven't tried them yet.
Oh yeah. I'm still waiting on the black and white overdubs. Only come out in Russia so far

Thought I'd take a punt on a pair of those Retroseventy 'prest' strides :
They're £25/$35, so that's a tenner cheaper than Relco so worth a gamble to see what they're like. I've got Warrior and Modshopping 'prest' trews to do a comparison with, so we'll see how they measure up quality-wise.
Nabbed a pair of the stone-coloured ones.

I'd say they're all made by the same manufacturer

@Inkss are these ones poly-cotton?
[/QUOTE]
Poly/Visc these ones. The Modshopping ones I have say 100% Cotton, but they don't look/feel like they are though.

pretty good eBay score here of sta prest. Unfortunately only the light blue ones fit me properly, the others are too big. What color shirts does one wear with sky blue pants other than white or black?

Mention on the BBC today that the Team GB uniform is inspired by athletes' clothes in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. There were reports about this a month ago - seems they have deliberately gone with an Ivy inspired look, though the OCBD or polo shirt, chinos and Harringtons have ended up looking like fairly generic off-duty sports person garb.

The Retroseventy2 Sta Prest.

Quite well put together. (As good as the usual suspects I reckon)
Less narrow in the legs as others and quite comfortable. Definitely no arguments on the price. Not bad.

Might try some of their other colours (not f***ing burgundy though)

Looking good Inkks, are they true to size on the waist.
