Indeed. The Oxford Iffley Road wall - my alma mater - was in a balcony/corridor overlooking the main sports hall.

I was very intrigued by the guys doing traverses on the wall up in the balcony!!!
thanks for bringing this back!!!
if only I'd known...

One of them might have been Sean Myles, he was a year or two after me and might still have been around in '85. If only you'd known

Sean left summer 87 so he'd have gone up autumn '84.
You wouldn't have enjoyed Sean's fingery rockovers on that wall Nibile, they were pretty horrendous.

looks like the sleeves are removable on that.  :-\
Maybe good for one-armers?

This is should be good for bringing necky stuff to within spitting distance.

I am quite sure Monolith has a series of "power clothing" pics on his Facebook page.
they involve removed sleeves, owls, and even the most powerful shirt ever seen on Earth, with Death riding a Harley under lightnings and armageddon.
or the likes.

I am quite sure Monolith has a series of "power clothing" items in his wardrobe and on his torso most days.
they involve removed sleeves, owls, and even the most powerful shirt ever seen on Earth, with Death riding a Harley under lightnings and armageddon.
or the likes.

Is that what you meant Nibile?

Very brave. He's harnessed a prowling tiger hoodie to cage that Wolf T.  I barely noticed his thinning pate.

Hot Damn, that project he talked about at the end must be pretty hard if he wears that sort of clothing in his day to day life!

I wonder how many one armers he could do if he cut the sleeves off and made it into a vest?

They need to make some wolf/tiger beanies for the beanie-on-top-off power combo.
