VINYL FRED PERRY

AS A MOD BACK IN THE 60's AND EARLY 70's FASION, LAMBRETTA'S AND MUSIC, ESPECIALLY NORTHERN SOUL, WERE A MAJOR PART OF LIFE. AND STILL ARE TODAY. HAVING SUITS MADE TO MEASURE, HOW LONG TO HAVE THE BACK VENTS ON THE JACKET. HOW MANY BUTTONS ON THE JACKET FOREARM,10? 20? GETTING THE LATEST RELEASE ON VINYL BEFORE ANYONE ELSE. ALWAYS BEING A LEADER OF FASION, NOT A FOLLOWER. AS IT HAPPENED, IN THE LATER 60's & 70's MY YOUNGER BROTHER WAS IN THE ROYAL NAVY. WHEN HE CAME HOME ON LEAVE I NOTICED HIS "BELLBOTTOM" TROUSERS. THATS DIFFERENT I THOUGHT, SO TOOK SOME MEASUREMENTS TO GET A PAIR MADE. I SETTLED FOR 26inch BOTTOMS, THE ROYAL NAVY ONES WERE WIDER BUT DAREN'T GO THAT WIDE. LOL. I ALSO HAD A HIGH WAIST BAND AND THEY WERE IN NAVY BLUE MATERIAL. I HAD THEM MADE AT BURTONS, WHEN THEY DID MADE TO MEASURE SERVICE. THE FIRST TIME I WORE THEM I WAS ASKED IF I WAS IN THE NAVY. SO, AS A FASION LEADER I BELIEVE "I INVENTED THE FLARES."
SO, AS YOU CAN SEE FROM MY PHOTO I STILL LIKE FASIONABLE CLOTHING. I'VE ALSO RECREATED THE FRED PERRY LOGO OUT OF SOME OF MY CHERRISHED NORTHERN SOUL VINYL. HOPE YOU LIKE MY TRUE STORY. KTF paul g
