Can you buy retro clothes anywhere such as Fat Willys and Eclipse? I had a black jacket when I was younger I think the make was 'Eclipse' It had an embroided character that i'm sure also had a name
 
Not sure I understand the question. There are loads of retro clothing places in London, especially round Covent Garden (Neal Street end) and Camden.

Sorry, i mean retro makes of clothing. There used to be loads but dont see then anywhere now. Cant rememre the name of that character - something like spliffy i think :confused:
 
Eclipse is not yet old enough to qualify as retro, also Eclipse was ****ing awful. It was plain clothing but embroidered with a tiny cartoon man smoking a spliff! It was pretty edgy when I was 10, I'm not so sure I'd be as enamoured these days.
 
you want fat willy?



LOL

Gutted :p

OT - Biohazard - I'm sorry for butting in on your conversation earlier. I was a lame brain and it was rude of me. I hate having a bad relationships with people here. I know it might not make any odds to you but can we forget it?

I had loads of Eclipse stuff, and also Dready and Danielle Poole, spot the sado!

I believe the character on the Eclipse stuff was called "spliffy".

Hahaha me too, oh dear - I also had some "Dosse Posse" stuff, particulary remember a hoodee with a ganja leaf on it and "rasta" coloured cuffs and a Record bag.

I also had some Dready Jeans and the cheaper Eclipse copy with the big "handles" on the sides.

There was a place near me (in Crawley) called Atomic and Rave Cave which sold all this stuff from memory.

i did, however, have a couple of dready tops, i found a dready t-shirt the other day during a clearout and it's in vgc i was gonna stick it on ebay

Christ I remember getting my Dready trousers in there when I was a kid, had an eclipse jacket too :D
I went through a bit of a hardcore faze before going down the metal head route.

Lol, I still listen to hardcore (91-93) :p - I just remembered having a couple of these in different colours, not sure where I got them from, I think a mate gave them to me in the early nineties..

Trawl the bay.

As with everything though, one of a kind shows up, the price goes through the roof.

If your serious about collecting, there's a few american sites that cough up rares from the 80's.

Iv'e scoped Op tee's and 80's addias tops from america. You'll pay though, 100+ for a tshirt.

Personaly, id pay virtualy anything for a carbrini ski jacket from the 80's.

Jd sports did a line around 87, they were f--- amazing, i had a yellow/blue fluorescent jacket... i was gutted the day my mum threw it out... i would go 4/500 quid to get one back!
 
I think there would be a fortune to be made from hyperglobal re-releasing their colour changing t-shirts. That's retro

Ah, Global Hypercolour.

Great as a kid, bloody embarrassing if you're any older and it's your armpits that change colour.

I had a pair of jeans that would go from dark blue to bright turquoise - guess what, around the crotch! Great.

Found a pic of little me in the best T shirt in the World :D
