Re: Farahs

Here is a nice pic of Farrar's (though I dunno if they are modern ones) but regardless it all adds up to nostalga in one form or another I think

Re: Farahs

anyone remember which style/model of farah everyone wore back then?

Probably the Grey type ones - though I recollect Burgendy and Green ones too became popular. The Burgendy ones know doubt set a trend for Today's Chinos of a similar I am thinking.


Though I am also thinking and wondering if these colours for Farrah's was more popular with Cords perhaps - as at times my memory these day's can be brilliant but hazy an/sketchy all at the same time somehow

Re: Farahs

My best mate had a pair of light grey ones, personally I hated them.

Think I'd go for Grey ones "back in the day" as I have always been partital to Grey Trousers as "going out smart-dress Trousers" I think this is what the Colour the majority wore at school when they wore Farrah's as their School Trousers

Re: Farahs

ahhhh, yes At one point they were the only trousers my brother would wear, those and chinos. Along with a t-shirt that had to be over £30, more money than sense, my dad use to go nuts!!!

It sounds like your brother was amongst people I knew Heather! I was into Farrar's in a "deep way" back in the day as I was cords too. These where the only ones I was keen on too 9at least for going out in) , though I never would not of paid less than 30 quid for a T-Shirt (though it may be different now Lol)

Re: Farahs

Farah's put simply where and still are brilliant Trousers indeed - no doubts I think I never owned any but all the cool lids round where I lived owned them and then they became fashionable for going out in - to Clubs and Pubs!

Probably for Smart-Casual wear in the 1980s/1990s Farah's and cords really really are equal in such circles of Trouser Fashion and Trends I'd say/hazard at a guess at! It was either one or the other no doubts!

Re: Farahs

Not just Farahs but Farahs which had been "snipped" up the sides a little at the bottom so they sat well on the old Kickers or trainers - poncey casuals.

Trouble with Farahs and Waffles (apart from waffles being uber uncomfy) was thay they wore out pretty quick on the rock hard BMX seats.
Sta-press were the go, nice and comfy.

Tonics anyone?

Re: Farahs

Waffles! arggh! I hated the fashion around then, girls in Farahs, tie neck blouses, wedge haircuts, loafers, Gabicci cardigans
horrid!

Re: Farahs

Yeah, I had a pair of grey ones that I wore to school. But remember what came before Farrahs? - Waffle trousers.
I could probably wear Farrahs again but Waffles, NO WAY...

Re: Farahs

I have a confession to make to my school friends that although they thought i was wearing farahs, they were nothing but cheap imatations, my mum use to stich the farah label every year from the the same old recycled pair of which were handed down from my older brother... no one ever guessed...
