Sprogs, nippers, bambinos: pint-sized denim

[unders]

Are we talking about blue jeans or have I missed something?

i never wanted to dress like my middle aged dad when i was younger so i'm sure as hell he doesn't either.

 

During a ‘casual’ phase in my early teens, I, like many other urban youth, thought it was cool to dress like middle-aged golfers: v-neck woollen sweaters, perhaps with an argyle print, over a polo shirt or roll-neck sweater, teamed with some Farah slacks and, in my case, a pair of burgundy Kickers! What the hell were we thinking!!! 😂

^Dare l say it @Maynard Friedman, but would love to see an old photo of said ensemble, if that's not too much trouble? Hey you can chop the head out! 😁

^Anyway l'm not holding my breath 😉

But just in case, and while we're waiting, here's my son's first pair of jeans with a busted seam. These non selvedge H&M jeans were pictured at the start of this thread (on a farm holiday with my ex-wife) but unfortunately they've been wiped out by the great photobucket scam. And here they are now, next to a pair of jeans that currently fit him (he's not fuckin having them!). What a difference!

Also a bonus pic of him wearing his redline selvedge H&M's (whilst out on a local fire station open day) again already discussed earlier in this thread.

I'll grab a pic of him wearing the freewheelers 47s at some point if l ever see them again. Probably already swapped them with someone for something else 😄

 

 

 

Edit. Apologies again for the sideways photos, this has only been happening since the new tech updates

Snap. That was the lads' and my school uniform, more or less given school shirt and tie. The alternative to Kickers was Adidas shoes - Corsica, Dakar et al. That kit also doubled up after school, with diamond Pringles and roll necks featuring. That was considered slick at the time!!

... and to OO's point in the other thread... a quick search shows originals are now priced for middle-aged men with spare cash to splash nostalgically...

That's it! .. men of a certain age would go.. Ooh? men of any other age would go.. Eew!

I’m not sure if this brand has been mentioned in these parts before, P Denim or Pippins Denim. Made in Sheffield but the founder recently sold out to a company based in Leeds.  Here’s their instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/pdenimofficial?igsh=MTNhZXA4MXpnM2c1Yg==

Denim is from Candiani and stitched in Sheffield, although I’m not sure whether that had changed since it changed hands. 

These are the pair that is being passed down my boys. Currently with the middle one  (with the littlest wearing Ryan’s Nippers).

My kids been wearing these made in USA Levi’s for a bit. They weren’t exactly unworn but they were quite dark when i first got them. These have become more expensive online and at shops but I’ve had some luck with people in the Midwest who don’t seem to care to do much research.

I found an unworn pair but the size was advertised wrong. It’ll be a few years before he can wear them.
