Awombleforever – I had a denim jacket ,like most people had then .I was very young and thought I was being clever at the time. I loved Mud they were one of my favourite bands but I also loved Greasers or rockers as they could be called. I thought Id fool my mum so I put a square of material on the back of it with I love Greasers and I cleverly made another square to go on top saying I love Mud to cover it.
I used poppers to cover the Greaser one with the mud one. I then went out proudly displaying my I love mud on the back and when I got to my destination would take it off. Did I really think my mum couldn’t undo poppers
Rennie – *laughing* just shows us men how conniving you women can be. So what’s new???
Rockerator – I use to have names of all the rock bands over mine.
Rocksgirl – this was maybe an 80s thing but i used to have all my fave bands badges on my denim jacket
Rennie – I used to hve the obligatory Dollar and the smiley
Awombleforever – And of couse it had to be smothered in patcho li oil,that smell still turns me on
Goldencup – Not forgetting the denim jacket’s little cousin – the denim waistcoat! Then there were the jean suits – matching jeans and jackets with embroidery, beading etc. I used to live in mine.
Rocksgirl – funny how things come back cos i’ve got a denim waistcoat that i bought a couple of years ago! Lol
Hattie – I didn’t have a denim jacket, mine used to be this bright orange jacket with a tie belt in the seventies, i lost it at school when i was 15 for a whole term, then it turned up at the beginning of term again, spose it went out of fashion for the person who wore it
Lainybins – I was never allowed a denim jacket in the 1970’s so had to wait until about fifteen years ago until I eventually got mine! I did, however, have a long navy blue cardigan that had to have the sleeves cut off as I went through the elbows (bored at school with elbows on desk). I put badges all the way down it ~ Osmonds fan club badge, Bay City Rollers fan club badge, my old Tufty Club badge, my Ovaltines badge, badges of Dennis the Menace and Gnasher, of Pooh and Piglet, a Smiley badge (of course!), badges from places I’d visited on family holidays and ~ strangely ~ a Hawkwind badge. My older brother saw the band whilst he was at Uni and brought a handful of tin badges back with him. I had no idea who they were or what they sounded like, but the badge was real cool! Something else I need to rummage about for *sigh*.
