Yes Kickers were sort after, French Exchange kids used to come home with them. Only rich kids had them otherwise. Pepe jeans with a key ring on the belt loop were very popular too.same here, I also recall that Kickers were popular. DMs were Ox Blood, more holes = cooler
About 10 years agoKeep up. This fashion trend died a death a couple of years ago.
Fitting properly embraces the idea they should be comfortable to wear. If you're not comfortable, they probably don't fit properly. Not that difficult a concept I would have thought.Pish to that, I'd rather be comfortable than dress just so others will think I look well dressed. I geniunely don't care what others think of how I dress. I have my own tastes and preferences and that's what I'll stick with. If people think my clothes don't fit me properly, that's their problem.
And the need for condescension is?Fitting properly embraces the idea they should be comfortable to wear. If you're not comfortable, they probably don't fit properly. Not that difficult a concept I would have thought.
I ordered a "Shooting Jumper" which arrived today. Heavy & seems well put together. Smells strongly of wool! Size "large" seems just about right. https://www.solvawoollenmill.co.uk/countryman-mens-jumper-oatmealI can only go by look and feel at the moment as I haven't had them that long or worn them an awful lot, they certainly give the impression that they will last quite a while though. They are washable with care like all woollies. The two I have seem a slightly loose knit which makes them easy to slip on and off and comfy... the small size is perfect for me which is a big plus as neither small nor medium ever fits me properly in High St. stores.
Why contribute to such a thread if you don’t care what you look like?And the need for condescension is?
I've yet to wear anything that others consider "well fitting" that I don't find restrictive. I don't like any sense of close fitting when it comes to clothes. I could never wear a hugging T-shirt for example, that most people would consider a "properly fitting" T-shirt. If I feel any tightness at all across my back when I reach both hands infront of me, then it's too tight for my liking. Another example, every single suit jacket (blazer whatever you prefer to call them), bar none, I've tried on that "fits properly" I find constricting.
So before you go making derisive statements, maybe you should learn that the meaning of "comfortable" isn't the same for everyone.
Normal for Cardiffout and about in Cardiff. Off to a restaurant shortly - tracksuit bottoms, T-shirt, Crocs and a Puffa. Comfy
dunnoNormal for Cardiff
I'd never be seen out in Crocs, think they are horrible but lots disagree.dunno
Last night same in C London, nice Malaysian restaurant
Are you sure they'll let you in?out and about in Cardiff. Off to a restaurant shortly - tracksuit bottoms, T-shirt, Crocs and a Puffa. Comfy
Maybe you're confusing "well fitting" and "close fitting". A hugging tee shirt is only well fitting if that is how you want it to fit.And the need for condescension is?

Yes the woolly smell is fairly prominent but being Welsh it‘s a bit of a bonus for me , could be handy olfactory camo if you’re out shooting too!I ordered a "Shooting Jumper" which arrived today.

Or on a hot date. "Ah, darling, you've arrived." "Baaa..."Yes the woolly smell is fairly prominent but being Welsh it‘s a bit of a bonus for me , could be handy olfactory camo if you’re out shooting too!
Up to a certain point, yes. But then again, one wonders if the tendency of a lot of British men to resemble a sack of sh*t tied in the middle with string might be a factor as well?
"But it's comfortable..."
