More evidence to support my theory that 1978 was the worst year for Clash togs.
I didn't think that you would need evidence for that TBH :mrgreen:

I still can't get over there look in 1985 too - Joe's bumbag?? :yuck:

Joe's white suit and mohawk was puke-inducing. And don't even get me started on Paul's leather trousers and snood.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Someone posted this on Facebook, a rare pic from this era...

LOVE the style in this photo, Mick looks sharp as hell.
totally agree - love this era Mick - also see Marky's photo on his CD for Tucson (both Joe and Mick look great)
What, you are being sincere? He looks like a dorky engineer.

Hey Marky, I assumed the 83 boots you posted had photos from Combat Rock tour. Can you confirm if those pics are from 82 or 83?
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Yes actually - I thought Flex was being sincere too?? Anyways, I sort of see your point but quite like it nonetheless.

I was being sincere. I think the belt is a nice touch too. Mick is better off leaning into the dorky engineer look than some of his other fashion iterations, imho.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Some on here have cited 1982 as a worse year sartorially.

I quite liked in 1986 spy look, but in general, yeah. I can't even bring myself to think about the Megatop Phoenix cover.

The belt is the only mildly edgy thing.

Wear a full button down shirt for god's sake.

Short sleeved collared shirt is about as wrong for a rocker as shorts.

Eh, not necessarily. That 60s/70s skinhead look is sharp as hell - probably about as good as fashion subculture has ever got, imho. Doesn't get much more rock n roll than a fred perry polo, imho.

To be fair, we are criticizing Mick here and Don is standing in the background with a leopardskin fucking waistcoat on.

You rang? Seriously guys just stick to making good music and releasing records with no chairs on the cover.
