Loved this cardigan. Remember me Ma and Da taking me down to John Laurence on Thomas Street for my holy communion clothes. While all the other kids were rocking some Richard Gere officer and a gentleman style outfits. I wanted a Starsky & Hutch cardigan 🤣 pic.twitter.com/hlVhGA8uOA

Sharp, in fairness.
Meanwhile…
I went for the “biggest collar in the parish” medal myself. pic.twitter.com/Jr3yWJku1v

That collar is fantastic.
should I know who Jimmy Doyle is ?
Should we know who Mick Finnegan is either?
While I’m here, a leather jacket is not a cardigan.
He can be our new Leather Jacket Guy, minus the head wrecking videos
It has woolly sleeves and collar. It’s a cardigan.
On a similar theme, we brought Blenkinsop Jr. over to Thomas street on Saturday for his Communion suit.
(little 3 piece Glen check, since you ask)
On our way back to the car we passed Alan Brogan walking along Francis Street.
“Howayeh Alan”, says I.
“Alright, how’s it going”, he said nice and friendly.
All weekend then Lady Bertie got great skit out of saying “Howayeh Alan. Friend. Football Friend”.
Be a while before I live it down….
Chuckles :)
It screams ‘pavi’.
What’s the rosette for ? Was there a prize for the best outfit ?
LOL! Got mine in Anthony Ryan’s Shop Street, Galway… Just passed the row of Dingo jeans at the top of stairs.
Got an earful from me Mum only three weeks later having worn my outfit one Sunday on a trip to my Uncle Jack’s farm just off the Tuam Rd… I’d gone missing… Later returned that evening having chased a lambing sheep round a field and assisted my cousin in delivering the wee thing.
Needless to say… the suit was covered in muck, lambing birth and sheep poo. Some craic though :)
That is not a Starsky and Hutch cardigan. It’s far too 1980s. This is the Starsky cardigan: https://shinventory.wordpress.com/1975/04/30/starskys-mexican-sweater/ Not a button or patch of leather in sight!
They were all the rage in 1998/1999. I know because I had one – Suede torso, knitted collar and sleeves – It kept me warm on many a winter night out and about, I can tell you.
