Can`t say I know the name Kes but a face????
The look then was always changing for instance early 60`s ,Teddy Boys,Beatniks,Beatlemania.I wore Edwardian style jackets double breasted
and buttoning high to the collar.
Kipper ties,floral shirts,hipsters and flares into the 70`s
Platform shoes and Cossack hairspray!!
I personally never owned a pair of Levi`s,but when I wore jeans it was teamed up with cheesecoth shirts,a sort of nod to the cool hippy guys who were about.
Smart suits at weekend, always with a double vent in the jacket,big collar on my shirt,always a tie.
Never managed to own a leather coat but it was a good look.
And I never ever went to Wigan Casino...

The guy at school used to go to Wigan Casino in the 70's and wore parallels, which were like equal width all the way up with a crease. No wonder they let him in as apparently they didn't sell alcohol there. Mark Burroughs used to go and was a drug user - black bombers etc, so he told me.
I am talking about the Wigan Casino folks who used to dance every weekend or whenever they could.
