Post by: tommytwotone on November 23, 2004, 07:50:58 am: Obviously, being on the cutting edge of climbing fashion we're all well placed to say what's hot...and what's not :wink:

A few I've seen recently:

Baseball caps
Socks with rock boots
Football shirts

Post by: dave on November 23, 2004, 09:18:32 am: prana - hippy gear at gucci prices

"the frenchman" - 3/4 length cotton lycra in a pastel shade, very baggy t-shirt, often tucked in. horizontal striped jumpers. still surprisingly popular with peak 90s throwbacks.

"the eastern bloc" - bad C&A-style cotton ski-jackets, late 80's oxfam non-branded shellsuits and bizarre ex-russian army rockboots. doesn't stop them tearing up cuvier though :shock: . basically looks like the clothes were pushed out of the back of a low flying hercules along with some sacks of grain. also known as "dressed by the UN".

its all good.

i might be wrong, but doesn't a certain Mr Moon wear a fetching no fear hat in one summer (or was it real thing??)???

come to think of it, if i remember rightly it's the tip of the sartorial iceberg seeing as it tops off:

ninjas
tights
flava wifebeater/t shirt combo

actually on climbing vid fashion, jezzle's jumper in the 'Karma' sequence in real thing?

and Kurt Albert's home made skin tight denim shorts?

i don't know about rohan pants but these days they do a really nice suit and rain coat.nearlly bought one but they seemed to be designed for the larger gentleman.[large as in fucking huge]
i reckon you'd cut a bit of dash bouldering in a suit.mind they used to climb in that get up when it all first started.

Post by: dobbin on November 24, 2004, 02:03:22 pm: I remember there were two models of Ron Hill, the trackster and the 'flash' trackster, which had an attractive vertical stripe down the side off the leg which got wider at the top - so as to increase the illusion of having grotesquely fat legs (I think Ru wears these in the hope that they might make him feel he has legs at all).

So much for the days of UKB being a nice place to visit, devoid of idiots. Can't you stupid fuckers stay on your own sites?

no, we can't. in a bad mood today, scott?

in any case, refer to page 5 of this thread, wherin i was mocked -- mocked, i say -- for my style of dress. by the same guys who used to show up in the valley in the 70's wearing euro short shorts, for godsakes.

and if you missed the self deprication that is self-evident in photo #2 of the above post...well...go cheer yourself up with some sheep jokes.

You are the guy with such bad dress sense that you ended up on a UKB thread. Congratulations. Your parents must be so proud.

My name is on the side of this post. Just in case you were wondering what those squiggly shaped things were.

Please do not post anymore pictures of your low-ball pocketed limestone. I enjoy the pics on B.com but yours are, how you say, an aquired taste. Like cat food.

If you are looking to infect a uk site please try to topple www.ukclimbing.com . I think that they would appreciate you sense of humour and of course you dress sense/facial hair/ability to self promote choss rock.

Post by: bvb on December 09, 2004, 02:26:31 am: and thank you, dylan, for your warm welcome. after all, it is the thorough pimping you dished upon my sense of style that lured me here to this fine forum in the first place. and dragging my parents into this is, of course, a wonderful leading indicator as to your class and sense of decorum. you rock, dude.

as for "urban muncher magazine" (must admit, never heard of it), you must have me mixed up with someone else...my last appearance on the cover of a mag was "climbing" back in '92 or '93...thanks for the plug, though.

glad you like the photos of "lowball" limestone. i'll be sure to post many more, for your viewing pleasure.

you've tried cat food? how is it, anyway? is it any good mixed with top ramen? and are your circumstances really that desperate? good god man, we're your freinds. give us a tip and we'll organize a food drive for you.

ah yes, one more thing...not looking to "infect" any sites...just good fun and good new friends, such as yourself. why toddle off to ukclimbing, when we've already broken the ice here, eh?

well dylan whose name appears on the side of this post, ta, for now. i'll leave you with another my photos of lowball choss which you clearly crave so very much.

yours,

bvb

p.s. a bran muffin chased with a little metamucil may help you out with that little problem of yours.

But this side of the pond, sadly, still nameless.

Are we supposed to quake and drop to our knees at the mention of your name.

Sorry to disappoint. :)

Your taste in music is ok though.

no, no, no, not irl, on the internet, man! in the flesh i'm a blubbery old coot who sips whisky in an overstuffed chair while fondling my signed-by-bonnington first edition copy of "everest: the ultimate challenge"

however, feel free to tremble if you wish. i'll pretend it's me and not the damp cold that's causing it.
