Another clown outfit extravaganza, said it before this style of clothing was from a small time frame from within the scene not its entirety.

[@garethsmart410]

Well said ....I used to feel proud of being part of this once great underground scene. ..now all I feel is embarrassment when I watch these videos ..

[@capitol7950]

Likewise, not being sentimental, it hurts to see something that was so important to me go to rat shit

[@Genghis-Khan121]

@@capitol7950 agreed !!! As mentioned that was the style of clothing for most in early 70s, the most idiotic and annoying stupid comment I ever read was some fool saying this 70s style of dress is the northern soul uniform , I thought jeez 😒 how embarrassing is being on this scene now becoming ,

Northern Soul died in the mid 70s when they let the cameras in.

Not sure how "Strictly" managed to shoehorn itself into this.....and the Northern soul tribute show eughhhhh just a load of minor celebz mincing around the floor awful awful awful,the attraction for me was it was "our thing" it was underground and as Elaine Constantine put it "not some shite the B.B.C was spoon feeding us

He meant flares

[@tonyteo7778]

They were called Oxford Bags in my neck of the woods. We used to go to a tailor's in Bradford for made to measure ones and a place in Barnsley where I purchased some cord Oxfords but the name of the shops evade me.

@@tonyteo7778 A shop called Ken Ellis in Barnsley, in the 1970's, used to do a large selection of oxford bags trousers and cords, 5 button high waist and multiple flap pockets.
