Best clothing for watching football – £6,000 ?

It’s always been the case, the lads following Liverpool won’t have money for petrol but they wouldn’t be seen out without head to toe Moncler.

You’ve just squared a circle for me. I was in JD sports yesterday in Birkenhead (cos, like, innit bruv) looking for a padded jacket for #1.

All the men’s jackets on the sale rail were 100-175 quid. All of them. They didn’t have any jackets sub 90 quid. And this in an area that is pretty bleak, and the black padded jacket is de rigeur for the local mugging yoofs.

We got one for 40 quid from Go Outdoors shortly afterwards. Thank goodness for kids who don’t go for brands!

my 17yo son will point out something “expensive” that invariably looks stoopid, then be able to find a cheap Chinese copy of it on Pandabuy for 5%/10% rrp.

(And get your data compromised as well)

Yeah it’s interesting to contrast the young lad about town’s clothes then:

Vs now:

I’m not arguing that £6k isn’t a lot of money. It is. But it doesn’t buy you anywhere near a top of the range bike these days. It buys you a decent bike with decent components from a decent manufacturer, certainly not anything pointlessly flash like the clothes that were illustrated.

But the point is those clothes aren’t really flash. They’re just **** terrible and not that well put together. The very definition of style over substance. There’s a sensible middle ground  of quality versus price. The OP and £6k for a bike aren’t it. You can get a decent bike with decent components for less than £6k!

TJ. it’s not the 80’s any more, that was decades ago.

lots of things have changed since then but one thing that remains the same is the appalling dress sense on display by your average football fan.
