Just being careful .. I feel a tad under threat at the moment ..

It’s crazy what we wore back then ..

I had a pair of green ones and a pair of brown ones .. I hate those colours ( for clothes ) these days .



We went through a phase of wearing baggy , parallel trousers as well ( some were two-tone) but I can’t find any decent examples of those online
