Swifty Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Found a pair of unworn Spencer's with sewn in creases, three down pockets, tunnel loops along with old Spencer's flyers, badges, and memberships. Brings back some memories eh? Museum pieces mate , nice one , I think one of my old pairs of Spencers went to good use and is now being used as the main tent at Billy Smarts Circus Swifty 3
Guest turntableterra Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 I remember when I found all the stuff I kept....................... better than the records at the time. pants, tops, photos, memberships,badges, flyers, omg
Soulman Posted August 14, 2013 Author Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) Well these would make two tents. 30" waist, 45" bottoms.... Strange how they fit in leg length but not in the waist anymore. Better sell them to someone a bit slimmer methinks Steve Edited August 14, 2013 by soulman 1

Soulman Posted August 14, 2013 Author Posted August 14, 2013 That Brunswick badge is cool Have you tried to get into those strides yet? Richard Hi Richard I did just slip them on last night, or rather I tried. Although they've never been worn or washed the waist band seems to have shrunk Steve 1
grant Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Fraid all mine went in the bin many many years ago
shawsoulie Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Fraid all mine went in the bin many many years ago And mine also, had my wallet stolen with all my membership cards in it, thankfully not much money if any, can't remember now. Was more bothered about the cards than anything else !
Rupert Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Fraid all mine went in the bin many many years ago best place for them baggys .
Guest Funkin Dunc Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Time for a National Soul Museum methinks.
KevH Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 My Mecca card number was 898485.Funny how things stick in the mind.
Crumb Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Fraid all mine went in the bin many many years ago Poured petrol on mine & put a match to 'em, about 1980. I think they represented everything that was wrong with the scene. 2

Soul16 Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) I love the Spencers flyers! I confess to once owning two pairs of 40" bags: Airforce blue gabardine and Navy blue corduroys. My girlfriend at the time also had a Spencers full-circle skirt. Thankfully, by 1980 I realised that I'd made a fashion faux-pas and invested in a pair of the 20 pleat 'Zoots' in a lovely shade of Aubergene. Edited August 18, 2013 by Soul16 1
Crumb Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 ,well not quite everything.!! They did to me. Kept all my memberships though, unfortunately not got a Wigan one, I was forever ripping them in two to give half to someone who hadn't got one.

Richard in recent years topman has made a polo shirt with that on the chest along with the central soul club and something else I bought one off ebay for about a pound used, wouldn't normally wear anything like that but it is nice

Yeah moved onto zoots etc myself but just had to go that extra mile( sorry, (5") and get 45" bottoms or as previously pointed out, two skirts. Aaagghhhhh Steve

John A Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) Hey, I'm sure there's a good market for all this "reenactment" stuff. Perhaps you should run a stall at Blackpool or prestatyn weekender or one of thousands of similar venues on any given weekend Edited August 14, 2013 by John A
Hornet Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 They did to me. Kept all my memberships though, unfortunately not got a Wigan one, I was forever ripping them in two to give half to someone who hadn't got one. did u keep the pipe
KevH Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 They did to me. Kept all my memberships though, unfortunately not got a Wigan one, I was forever ripping them in two to give half to someone who hadn't got one. Now what could half a card be used for.?
Barry Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Noen of the ladies got any Wigan regulation Clarks Polyveldts hiding?
Crumb Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Now what could half a card be used for.? You just showed the front or the back, Mrs Woods never checked. Always intended to get the other half back from the person I'd lent it to, always seemed to forget though. 1
Crumb Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 did u keep the pipe Still got a couple of 'em, don't smoke them anymore though, makes me feel sick apart from them making me look a proper d*ck head.
Soulman Posted August 17, 2013 Author Posted August 17, 2013 Don't know if I posted these before but here's some EASC patches etc. Just need to find all the Wigan ones now!
dthedrug Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 HI ALL, IF YOU LOOK AT THE STILL PICTURE FROM "ENGLAND THIS ENGLAND" You will see me in the faired out LEVI'S, they were your actual BIG E 501 with zipper fly, had them for years, but someone threw them away when decorating? bummer! DAVE K
