I stil have my I.O.U.(clothing brand) jacket(red with black leather trim) which I emblazened the back with my Echo & The Bunnymen self titled tour shirt. I just cut the screenprint off the tour shirt and had mom roughly stitch it on so it frayed at the edges, it was cool as hell, atleast I thought so back then.

Its funny, reading everyone's posts about still having their leather jacket in the closet somewhere. I never stopped wearing mine. Granted the last 2 that I bought I didn't put studs all over them or paint silly band logos, but I still wear one when the weather permits. I just don't feel comfortable in anything but.

If punkas ever do grow up" - "Punka" by Kenickie

I still fit into my size 32 jeans and a good pair of Docs and creepers are stil the most comfy shoes! Lots of gigs and festivals keeps one young. People still don't believe me when I tell them i'm 37. [:)]

Funny I came across this topic today. I just put my winter coat in the storage closet for the season and came across a gray and red mini dress I had with a red panel that snapped across the chest. I used to wear that out dancing. Not too much else is left except a few shirts I can't bear to part with. Like Hexicon, I still have a lot of my 80s jewelry.

MC jacket. Siouxie tee shirt. Long black trench coat with mc boots. That was my trade mark. My old new wave friend from back then just talked about that with me. I miss the fashion from back then. Btw wolverine-chess king? I bought so many new wave shirts there. How funny?
