Post by: midnight Target on December 19, 2005, 03:36:12 PM: If you were REALLY cool in 71 you didn't wear the bell bottoms, you wore the straight leg plaid pants with beatle boots and a button shirt.

Or you could go with the white jeans, paisley shirt and chuckas.

Can you say chick magnet?

Post by: midnight Target on December 19, 2005, 03:44:00 PM: bastage!

Here's something else. It was hella cool to wear cut off levis to the beach, but you had to wear long boxers underneath so the boxer legs hung below the cutoffs.

Of course these could only be worn with 'Hang Ten' t-shirts.

He's right. Modern fashion models are worse than the ones in that old catalog.

(http://www.aperfectworld.org/Other_Projects/Sears/sears20.jpg)

I also remember that stupid robot they had for awhile that advertised the jeans for them. By then I was starting to get old enough to realize how ugly those jeans were. You HAD to outgrow them, you couldnt destroy those jeans. Reinforced everywhere and made out of blue colored galvanized steel. I think they had a fire resistant rating too. Brrrrr.

I'm seasoned. Like a fine wine.

My fondest memories of the era actually start in '69. Sitting around the new color TV and watching the grainy B&W videos from the Moon. Impossible to describe the sense of pride and wonder.

In `71 I was wearing a pair of handmade, 17 " top boots that were sent over from Momasan that a friend of mine helped out in Nam. The chicks loved em and they kept your toes toasty while you had your knees in the breeze hanging on to the apes. :)

Post by: lazs2 on December 22, 2005, 08:08:45 AM: the only things that most guys bought at sears for clothes were the peneleton shirts, black leather motorcycle jackets and engineer boots.

The 70's were like the 2000's... Jackets are the same... levis the same... t shirts are the same. the funeral/wedding suit is the same.
