    showing us up now Beefy.
    A light blue Adidas t shirt was my preferred outfit in the Glamrock heyday of '72....... not that adidas was really Glam, obviously.....

    I bet your mates were just jealous because you looked gorgeous.

    Don't think Ben Sherman had reached Hampshire by '72....

      Adidas t-shirts weren't invented in 1972.

            no, you're right again.



            perhaps it was light blue that hadn't been invented.....

              The copies were great and a third of the price. I had a light orange one. Got my mum to undo the thing (forgot the name) that went down the middle of the back (only nerds kept the thing in as bought).

              Had a fake Harrington too. Fake Crombies were too dear!

                            perhaps they Dry out quickly, rather than being rainproof?

                            buyer beware,.......

                              Well if Boots are allowed to sell Homeopathic fraud pills then there's nothing wrong with that is there ?
                              Maybe they are designed for people to travel to the Atacama desert ?
