Electrophile Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 (edited) We don't need to relive the 70s. Try living in the now. And if you can't find a pair of jeans that don't have designs on them, you're clearly doing a half-assed job of looking. Because I can name several department stores/small stores where you can get jeans that are just plain ol' jeans. Same for hoodies.

Lake of Shadows Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 There's also Wal-Mart. Having lived through the '70s, I can say that things weren't all peace & love. There was some wonderful stuff going on then... and some not-so-wonderful. The same thing applies to now. I don't want to get lost in some rose-colored nostalgia for what used to be or daydream tomorrow's sunshine to the point that I miss out on today, good and bad. Find the peace and love within yourself and nurture it... and it won't matter what decade it is. Regarding the music of the 70s... there was some great wonderful stuff done musically... and there was some real crap too. Good luck with your efforts at finding some jeans and a hoodie.

I am an original 70's guy, but as far as you are concerned, the 70's are by invitation only! ...and I would never invite anyone who calls a sweat jacket a "hoodie." Try one of the hip hop eras to relive you poser! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I was looking at the Sept "Vanity Fair" mag last weekend, and in looking at the clothing ads, it appears the designer fashion tide has turned back to the sixties; sort of a hybrid of mod and summer of love. Although the ads don't necessarily reflect what real people actually wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmie ray Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I wore nothing but JC Penney clothes in the 70's, because that's where my mom worked. Everything there was very plain - they're jeans were called "plainpockets", even. And now Robert and Allison are on board with that store - so it's cool to go there, now?

Sounds like you were shopping at Burlingtons.... I find plenty of clothing without reliving the 70's or being thrust into the Hip-hop era. Keep looking.

I knew I was growing up when I was given my first pair of Levis' I always got the Robucks from Sears and from Penny's those gawdawful corduroy slacks for school or as I call them spitball targets.
