The Combat Jack Show Thread

[harlemtothebronx]

this was my favorite fashion era.

Hey, girl. I think I still got my two tone durag somewhere around here.



@ Sidekick era. What a time.

 

[Magic33]

My favorite era was the Guess/Tommy/Polo/Nautica era early 90's.

it sort of coincided with the black and urban wear popping up. I was in the Guess/Tommy/Polo lane.

That extra baggy late 90's and early 2000 era was always head scratching to me. It was even baggier than the Karl Kani and Cross Colours era.

 

[All Ready]

I always wore my size

but back then I didn’t have the discipline to pass on things I wanted that wasn’t in my size and that would be the only time I bought bigger clothes

but the hilfiger/polo/nautica is my favorite too

They recorded the last episode last week with the entire crew, sans Combat.

The Cipher had a nice tribute episode based around his old interview with them.

Late 80's fashion >

The average guy wasn't dressing like this. They were emulating hustlers.

and when I look back it, stuff like stone washed jeans were wack as ****.

It was a cool era of sneakers, because you had more than one brand, so you had people wearing Nike, Adidas, Pumas, British Knights, Troops, Spot Bilts, Lottos, Ballys....

Clothing, not really besides jackets and sweatshirts.

Like what?

I'm talking about what the average person was wearing

The average person wasn't wearing Gucci and Louis

What's stood the test that the average person wore? Levis? Ralph?

And Ralph existed in the 60's and 70's, does that mean the 70's was a dope decade

 

[Maximus Meridius]

The topic don't have to be limited to the average Joe. Fashion in general from different era's.

Karl Kani brought a bunch of **** back out and it's dope but the prices are crazy.

 

[Magic33]

I'm sitting here watching Different World and wondering how anyone could think it was a dope fashion decade

 

[illphillip]

Trying to remember if Girbauds first run of popularity was late 80's or very early 90's.

 

[Magic33]

Trying to remember if Girbauds first run of popularity was late 80's or very early 90's.

It was early 90's in New York and then seemed to be late 90's in the south

 

[illphillip]

Yea I meant NY.

I never wore Shuttle Jeans

 

[harlemtothebronx]

I had a pair of shuttle jeans. My sister cut my straps.

Still looking for a similar wash with light grey straps to get tailored.

 

[All Ready]

there were talks of girbaud making a comeback with the slim/skinny fit

hasn’t jumped off yet tho, there were pics and the whole nine

 

[frshstunna]

Rees, tees n bauds

 

[All Ready]

I wouldn’t wear girbauds today tho

they already jumped out the window saying they don’t rock with black people

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Definitely didn’t know that. Thanks for the heads up.
