scylla Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) I often wondered what happened to these stage outfits. He has said that he has them all in storage, all nicely kept. I don't think he throws much away, not Zep memorabilia anyhow - we're talking about a man who's kept every passport he ever had. New game: I post all the pics I have of a particular outfit and anyone who has other pics of the same one (or can supply info on places, dates etc) shares with the group. Today's theme is: Jimmy's knitted T-shirt and/or checkered scarf. (There are at least three different occasions here; not quite sure whether it's the same top in the last two pics...)

ledastray Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 ^When Jimmy donates the Tower House to be the Led Zeppelin Museum and we're all docents in the photo gallery within it, we'll need to make sure there are enough fainting couches for all. Pre-Raphaelite boy mutton chops combined with Pre-Rapaelite "stunner"-girl hair. Splendid! I saw on another thread topic someone said they saw the black dragon suit at the rock hall of fame. But it's not always there they were saying so either it was on loan or maybe it's just not always on display. I'm only a few hours away from it & should probably grab my one Zeppelin fan friend and our Aerosmith lovin' friend and make a day trip of visiting there. aen27: is Catherine James the girl "Tangerine" was named for? I've been curious what is the significance of the song's title. Someone on song facts posted that "Tangerine" was the nickname of a beautiful groupie but I haven't seen any corroboration anywhere. Is it mentioned in her book or something? TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledastray Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Scylla, is this the same shirt? The lilac colored knit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lipslikecherries Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 This shirt is awesome, is it considered part of a stage outfit, or was it like an everyday shirt too? I wonder if Jimmy still has it. Are there any better pictures? Someone should make a copy of it...or maybe he'd loan it to me to wear for just a little while. I might pop a few buttons but I'd totally sew some new ones back on before giving it back!!! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scylla Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) Scylla, is this the same shirt? The lilac colored knit? I think that's the one but I don't know about colour as I've never seen a colour pic - I was hoping someone might post one but thought maybe they didn't exist... ETA: Just thought harder and realized you might mean this one - Is that right? I don't know - there's also these: and obviously the colour isn't same, but the second pic kind of looks like it's been artificially coloured. I want to say that the really purple-looking one isn't the same as in all the other pics as it's too dark and the sleeves look a fraction shorter, but I'm not sure. If these three are all from the same date, it's 12 July 1969, I think. Edited May 17, 2014 by scylla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a women's top more than a man's but it suits the pink pants quite well. The tuxedo shirt is nice too. There are several drunk Jimmy photos taken when he was wearing that. I read somewhere that Robert was seen wearing it at least once as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledastray Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) ^Jimmy=very very drunk and probably also stoned Robert doesn't look drunk at all. Edit: actually the bracelet on Roberts right wrist looks very uncomfortable, like it's digging into his wrist. He's probably on something too, else he'd probably have adjusted it.

I read somewhere that Robert was seen wearing it at least once as well. You may be right - perhaps it's on the pics with the strong purple colour that there's been some heavy-handed artificial colouring. Tuxedo shirt's probably a better term... in my head it's always the "corset shirt" as I think that's what the dark bit looks like when it's done up.... probably just because I like boys in girls' clothes. I've never been quite sure whether Jimmy literally wore off-the-peg women's clothes or not, although this top kind of makes you think so: I've never seen a pic of Robert in the other shirt, but I'd love to if anyone has it... I bet he couldn't button it up. But then I don't suppose he'd want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lipslikecherries Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Scylla thank you!! I couldn't make out the pattern on the shirt before... or after I got a better look at his chest hair. It's lovely! The pattern I mean. That shirt looked best with the white pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjam Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 ^^ Thanks for posting What I find funny is that I have relatives the same age as Jimmy, and yet none of them look half as good as he does. And they've had a much ''straighter'' life than he has. This man amazes me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably on something because you claim Robert's bracelet is too tight. please. How the heck do you know? Crackin up. You also have NO idea if Jimmy is VERY VERY drunk and/or stoned!
