Some more of the rave scene clothing is coming back to me. So before NASA jackets etc they were all just plain MA1 and MA2 flight jackets. The MA1 came in first and had like a stretchy round fabric collar and a bright orange interior. Skinheads in the BNP/NF/C18 seem to still like wearing the MA1, but I don't think that's why ravers started wearing them in the 90's. The MA2 followed the MA1 and was identical except it had a proper collar. Firetrap then brought out a fireproof MA2 and people went nuts to get them because they were fireproof, for some reason, like being fireproof was going to be something they would make use of.
Under your flight jacket the coolest kids had Standard Deluxe t-shirts and long sleeve tops. I even had SD slipmats on my decks. Thinking of slipmats, 8 Ball also did t-shirts. Spliffy and Dready came later and weren't as cool in my opinion because they were just playing to the mainstream. SD and 8 Ball actually had some pretty good well thought out artwork on them.
Once people had had enough of white Reebok Classics they moved onto... white Adidas Classics iirc
Funny you should mention the BNP flight jacket thing...
Me and may pals all wore ravey flight jackets, and one day we had a fire at the school and were all sent out onto the field for hours..
We got bored and decided to bunk off instead, ended up at my place and then just because we were dumb asses thought it'd be funny to all shave our heads.
We went back to school, five white lads in bomber jackets and shaved heads.
Funnily enough the school isolated us until our hair grew back as they thought we'd gone all BNP!!
What a bunch of idiots we must have looked!
Yeah, I know, "cool story bro"
