I currently have on a pair of black Doc Martin 8-ups. I have only ever owned 2 pairs since i started wearing them almost 13 years ago now.

Having said that, i will be getting a new pair soon.

In my younger days i did fancy the Cherry Red ones.

 

[Gully]

Doc Martens in tan, drainpipes, beige harrington, ben sherman shirts, but all worn at completely different times from the age of 13 up to about 21. Odd really as I have never really considered myself fashion conscious, mind you, owning up to that lot probably proves it!

[The Large One]

Maybe a touch of seersucker with an open neck
I drive a GS scooter with my hair cut neat
I wear my war-time coat in the wind and sleet


-----

Black DMs
Ben Sherman shirts (got a black one on now - button down)
Olive bomber jacket
Fred Perrys - just about every colour
Oh, and braces...

Never had a Harrington Jacket
Nor a crombie

Wish I could carry it off, but I know I can't - I really would love to get decked out in a shirt, suit and crombie from Jump The Gun, Gardner Street.

 

[NMH]

Several Bens and a black harrington.

You wasn't nuffink if yer wore tescy-bombers wiv big turnups, and don't cross the road when yer see us comin' or we'll 'ave yer.

 

[Lord Cornwallis]

All of the above bar the flight jacket.

Blue/green tonic suit, crombie with hankie and pocket stud, brutus shirts, royals and loafers with blakies on the heels, jumpers for goal posts.

 

[Beach Hut]

All except a crombie - why ?

 

[cheshunt seagull]

Doc Martins Black; still wear them
Flight jacket; olive
Ben Sherman
Fred Perry

 

[Kent Seagull]

None of the above. I bet you all had a copy of Skinhead Moonstomp and Double Barrel too!

Leather jacket, jeans and T shirt did me as I roared round on my 650 Triumph!

Snap! Although, I have always had Martens, as a bike boot.

A 1970, 650 T120 will still trash any scooter, anytime.

 

[Franks Wild Years]

Wore black 10 hole DM's for years and now wearing 8 hole black DM's.Sta press trousers for school
Still wear black and tan harrington style jackets and still have a crombie. I guess it was the first fashion I got into but only for a year or so cos then I got into punk, but I seem to have returned to it lately.
There's a good book by Robert Elms all about the various fashions he wore but with a big emphisis on the skinhead stuff.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

I wear a crombie now.

 

[Gazwag]

I had Black Doc's at school, I think they were only ten hole ones though, couldn't face the task of undoing/redoing the laces on the ones that went half way up the legs.

 

[bhaexpress]

I never had any of that stuff at the time and I am old enough to clearly remember skinheads and suedeheads.

We should all get kitted in this gear for a major away game (Watford)..would be a sight for sore eyes.
