Fishtail Parkas

[Kiop]

I was part of the mini-mod revival (which incorparated ska) and my mate and I had a fishtail parka like they had in the sixties. It's unfortunate that I don't have a photo of us wearing them but I just wondered how many others on here had similiar attire? I used to go to local discos in the 2-tone stuff complete with trilby and we thought that we were really cool, LOL.

We bought our parkas from a local specialist shop as they were very hard to come by. I ended up selling mine to a girl in our school after I got bored with it.

Aye. We did look smart though in contrast to punks. I wore either a fred perry or half collar shirt complete with Madness tie or one of those long sleeved hooped jumpers with a collar with 2 tone trousers (petrol/wine, wine/black or navy/beige), winkle pickers and fishtail.

Fishtail here too. :D And me Harrington. Grandad shirts (half collar as branny calls em??) occasionally, and Doc Marts too. Fred Perry tops goes without saying

circa 79 well into The Selecter, The Beat, Secret Affair...loved Two Tone :)
