So we all reached an age where we saved for something special to wear, it felt great and we hoped it made us look cool.
For me...a black leather jacket from a shop in The Ilac Centre
Soft black leather that look like bat wings under my arms and patterned all over....went great with my baggy jeans at the time
Wore it with everything...no matter the occasion ...I lived in it....I loved it
Then last night I dreamt about it and I can't remember what happened to it .....

Not something I bought but was given a wool coat back in the 80s by a great uncle who had it hand made in Philadelphia in the late 1940s or early 50s.
Calf length but the sleeves are just slightly too short for me.
Didn't stop me wearing it every Saturday night and always got compliments on it.
Still hanging in my wardrobe in good as new condition and still fits apart from the sleeves obviously.
Haven't worn it in a few years though but I'll never give it away because it has so much history. |

My favourite was an Aviator Bomber jacket with fur lining and collar my cousin in the USA sent me when I was about 15. Had to wait a couple of years before it fitted me but boy was it worth the wait!! |

A pair of Patrick "Keegan Gold" football boots.
They were so light and felt incredible to wear. The only problem was that they were obviously soccer boots and because they were so light and fit like a glove, the ould O'Neill's size 5 stung the foot off you when you got good contact as it felt like you were kicking it with your bare foot. Beautiful boots though. |

God so many over the years but notable ones were the full length leather coat - double breasted, nipped in at the waist and flared out to just below the calf; a pure silk padded bomber jacket in a coral colour that was so soft and light as air; and an off white silk sleeveless swing blouse with a little rounded collar that I ended up buying twice because my mum put the first one in a boil wash  |

"Anyone that still has their “cool” clothes and they still fit should do a fab pic with them  "
Most of my "cool clothes" would probably not fit comfortably but I don't have them to try on for a pic as I tend not to hold onto things I no longer have much use for.
Oh.....except for my "birthday suit".
That still fits perfectly...(see my friends only pics). |

A pair of black knee high "riding style" boots, laces running full length of the shaft, bought in Arnotts in the 90s. I got a couple of decades out of them and believe my sister still has them to this day

I still have the black leather jacket I bought when I was 17, and it still fits. but the 2 items I most fondly remember were a long sleeved french fisherman's top, blue and white striped, and a white t-shirt which looked a bit like the old type wool vests, as in Long John's, both appearntly showed off the wide shoulders I had, but I hadn't realised that girls liked, but I always shifted wearing either  |

I had a wee part time job as a waiter and saved up my meagre wages to buy a pair of Bay City Roller jeans and white short sleeved shirt - both edged in red tartan. Fuck I walked around the place as if I was Eric their lead singer |

My mother's cousin gave me a pair of doc Martins he had modified, steel rings, studs, buckles. The lot. They were 15 years old when I got them in 2001ish.. I wore them everywhere for years, got slagged to fuck over them. Still have them somewhere but my taste in clothes evolved with my grá for cailíní |

"Mid 80s cork city fc Jersey I bought off a guy for a tenner in 90s I saw wearing it in the street. That jersey is pure sex "
Is that the one in the style of the west Germany top ? If so it’s brilliant!! |

"Last year I bought a pair of Blundstone boots with my first post packet from the biggest contract I ever landed. They are my favourite thing I wear"
Bought a pair of Blunnies in Hobart years ago. Best boots ever. |
