aen27 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) What he's wearing underneath the fur coat is a shirt. If I remember correctly the photograph was taken by Zacron, the artist friend of Jimmy's who designed the cover for Led Zeppelin III. I would guess that it was taken in late March 1970. He's wearing that same shirt for instance on stage in Philadelphia on March 31, 1970. In the band photo, taken in 1975, he's wearing a different shirt, also worn on stage on February 14, 1975, for instance. The western shirt just happens to be the shirt he is wearing under that sweater for the band picture in 1975. Edited June 2, 2012 by aen27 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ally Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 It's not so ugly I have a similar one from my mother, but it fits worse to me haha... I suppose it was fashionable at the time I had a couple of sweaters very similar to the one you're wearing. One dark Blue with a black and white pattern. Another that was more of a rainbow of colour.

Otto Masson Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 The western shirt just happens to be the shirt he is wearing under that sweater for the band picture in 1975. Yeah ... that's what I was saying, or at any rate what I meant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

april_lynn Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 This is turning into the "Jimmy's Outerwear" thread! I love how he always knows exactly what to wear. He's a huge style icon to me, the way he mixes textures of fabrics, solids and prints and accessorises. He's just perfect! Here's another of that jacket I'm not sure if this is a sweater or what, but I love it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jayceeporter Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 That coat in general is just so elegant and dreamy! Bath Festival With Scarlet <3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Laura_Page Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Major, MissM, ally, I hope it will be trendy someday again haha, it's very warm but ties you up a bit I've always loved that kind of long sweater you refer to, april, like an open long jacket. I specially love that one who wears in a Yardbirds' gig, with the telecaster... I'll look for the pic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laura_Page Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 This one, although in this pic it's difficult to see I don't know how the clothe is named, but gosh... it's gorgeous Quote Link to post Share on other sites
april_lynn Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) Yes Laura Page! I love that one too! You can see it maybe a little better here, but it's still not that clear. (or close-up rather) Edited June 4, 2012 by april_lynn Quote Link to post Share on other sites

joe schmokin Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I have one of these "ugly sweaters", bought it in Florida, of all places to offer sweaters, around early winter of 1975. I guess I could have said it was his, who knew? Anyway, ugly but toasty warm... Maybe he would autograph it, or better yet, maybe he would want one again... Was about to throw it away, but then I saw him in it on PBS docu and had to hang on to it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FireOpal Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 When you're as good-looking as JP, you can wear anything: ugly-ass sweater, white socks, pink crushed velvet trousers, tartan slacks, girly saddle shoes - anything! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jayceeporter Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 jimmy even made frizzy wavy hair look good It's almost the fall-out-of-bed look; leaves a lot to the imagination of what he did the night before Quote Link to post Share on other sites
