Be intwresting to see if Aero ever repro it. Unmodified, it might notbplay to our crowd, but there must be big Bowie fans that would love it!

Man, the 70's stuff is coming back in a big way out here - esp for the gals...

Is there something special at this leather-jacket?

If anyone had asked me to take a good guess at where that jacket is, I'd have said it would most surely have been a part of the exhibit of David Bowie's career that toured Canada a couple of years ago, and that was such a hit with fans that they ran later in the evenings and extended the dates!

I think it's great that someone around here has it!

I have the catalogue for the Bowie exhibition sitting here, but it's not shown. There is a large pic of the Heroes photo shoot, which shows it, and if you look carefully at my avatar, you'll see a colour outtake from it.

Ah, sorry.

That's cool - any photos of Mr Bowie are welcome.

Ken said that made no more than a couple of dozen of this model, roughly around 1969, in his Poland Street factory in London. Interesting detail for those familiar with Soho, the knits came from Berwick Street Market.
He said that it may have been based on a Leith Army Stores drawing in their Exchange & Mart advert for American Bomber jackets, but that it is essentially a heavily slimmed-down bomber with classic late 60s collar. It's a design untypical of what they was making at the time, which were skinny, cropped adaptions of biker styles.

We had 1980's retro a couple of years back- we did the 70's retro before that and now it's generic retro. But I've noticed a small sub group of women in high waste mum jeans ( whatever they are called).

 

[Trenchfriend]

Yummy mummys?

 

[Sloan1874]

The idea of 'high waste' jeans is fairly horrible!

The idea of 'high waste' jeans is fairly horrible!

I beg to differ!

 

[Trenchfriend]

The brown or black leather-belt is missing.

 

[Sloan1874]

But there's a big difference between 'high waste' and a 'high waist', no?

 

[Trenchfriend]

Apparantly, it's known as "waist-high".

Whatever. Better, than the opposite until ten years ago, the mooning girls on supermarket or wherever.

What do you think about this short leather-jacket?
