“Hey, it wasn’t all doom and gloom when you enlisted in the Theatre of Hate army… look at all these smiling boys… and their superb quiffage!!!
I’m sporting one of my (back then) rare early Levis jackets (Martin Sheen in Badlands anybody?) which I’m sure I grabbed from American Classics on the Kings Road. I had been working next door at Johnsons, and they used to get bails (yes, as in like hay) of used American clothing from the Midwest. I went through it as soon as it hit their basement looking for old salvage Levis and Vietnam era tiger camo and tour jackets before they got put on the rack upstairs for sale to the general public 😉”
