The trabs thread

Smallman1

They’re perfect if you want to look like a Physics teacher from 1982.

Jules72 they’re middle-aged US patriot trabs!

bosstrabs

Might as well have got these Jules

Whine all you want lads - had nothing but compliments offline… the 8yr old daughter loves them!

Monochrome Y3s were absolutely boss.

In 2007.

bosstrabs it’s a cycle Dave - retro cool… elegance

What I like about them is they’re expensive but also utterly unchallenging.

Kind of a trab equivalent of a Ralph Lauren polo shirt in sky blue, or maybe a Burberry mac.

A way of signalling to the world “I have some discretionary income and I’m not afraid to signal that I have an appreciation of labels and totally inoffensive mediocre tastes”

Amps

Under Armour are odd, they make the odd bit of decent gear, technical waterproof type stuff, and then they make lots of bargain bin shite, and they also have the worst logo.

Millsy

Amps they do decent compression gear. The rest is hit and miss.

Here’s one of the top golfers in the world wearing one of their hats, which looks so cheap I can only assume he picked up at Woolworths along with a Steps CD and some pick and mix.

bosstrabs

Millsy Exactly right. Their compression shorts are just about the best around.

Everything else, s-to-the-werve.

I like the fake Chinese version…

My brain’s a bit fried at the mo. (See Good/Bad thread).

Last night, I had a dream I was at The Cross c. 2000, listening to Dave Seaman, Nigel Dawson and Anthony Pappa at a Renaissance night, and the thing I can remember most clearly about it is that I was wearing a pair of Acupunctures, which 20 years ago I fucking loved.

vinnyt77 Had a pair of Acupunctures back in the day - definitely circa going to Cream / Ministry era. Quintissential part of the clubbing dress code in those days

What Ed is seeming to forget is that he’s swanning around in those Nikes, right now, at 41 years old

seanc80

vinnyt77 A blast form the past !
i had a Velcro grey pair that I used to match seemlessly with boxfresh trousers.
Pilled up to the eyeballs.

Smallman1

Yeah they’re boss.

If you’re struggling at life that is.

vinnyt77

Smallman1 Buffalos were more your sorta thing back then, right?

bosstrabs

What I like about Smallman is he calls it as he sees it

Dan

vinnyt77 With a neck that length there’s no need for those behemoths!

bosstrabs

For a time around 97-99, Acupuncture were in the quintessential prog trabs canon, along with Air Max 95 (black fading up to grey) and silver Air Max 97s. No denying it.

Dubman

Gotta love that JCB digger sole. Great for dog walking in muddy fields.

Smallman1

I never owned a pair Acupuncture on the basis they were absolutely horrific.
