Fashion, It comes and goes.

[Doon frae Troon]

In the 1980's my wife bought me an expensive heavy wool Norwegian sweater.
I have always been reluctant to throw it out as it is superb quality.
I used to wear it occasionally but it has spent nearly all of its life in the drawer.

Looking round the shops recently I now find that they are once again the height of fashion.
I started to wear it and have been given 'trendy' comments by the youngsters.

You realise of course that the word trendy is pretty unfashionable just now!

One word for fashion cycles: suede desert boots... that is all

I'm still waiting for flares and platform shoes to be all the rage again!!!!

Was it the same type as Fred the weather man used to wear, with the wee Santa and riendeer or train pattern.
Doon your a modern day Beau Brummell.:thup:

Sorry, should have said 'hip'

I remember going to meet my intended in a cool mock fur coat, bell bottoms, Chelsea boots and flowery kipper tie to be covered in mucky slush by a passing police car. Still think they did it on purpose.

No..like all quality understated stuff it has stood the test.
A bit like my 35 year old Hunter wellies. The colour has faded, the tread has nearly gone and one of the calf buckles has broken but they are still waterproof. [no wonder the company nearly went bust]

Is it an "arran jumper". I had one of them, didn't last long though. After my mam washed it, she put it on the washing line......... It would have looked good on a Harlem globetrotter, after that.

Was it by the brand 'Napapijri' (their logo contains the Norway flag)? I've had a few jackets from them and they are excellent quality.

It's an Ore, you see them on Ebay going for a good price.
Not Aran [Irish not Scottish] They were very popular with the folk scene of my youth, cravat was a must as well.

My problem is clothes I wore in the 80s would no longer fit my girth.

I wouldn't know fashion if it smacked me around the face with a wet kipper. As long as it fits and I think I look half decent in it I'll wear it
