Stunmon 5 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Who remembers their first pair of jeans, from which Sheffield store and what year? Link to post Share on other sites
Unitedite Returns 87 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Would have been 1970, or 1971. I couldn't tell you who made them, designer labels weren't considered back then. But as to where they were bought? I'll give you a 'starter-for-ten'. I tried them on for size in the stockroom, upstairs, above the shop. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
highstorrsman 2 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Well, I think jeans - where they came from I have no idea. Would have been the winter of 1957 when I was going to Abbey Lane school in short trousers. I know we were bred tough then but it was a great relief to have warm knees. The headmistress made us take them off once in school because one lad played outside in the snow and came in soaking wet, so I had to put them on over my short trousers each day.

Snozzle 5 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Circa 1969....a pair of Wranglers bought from Blanchards on Infirmary Road for, I think £3..10s... They were like hardboard for first few weeks, but I did have them for a few years. Link to post Share on other sites

Unitedite Returns 87 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 12 hours ago, Sheffield History said: Definitely Harringtons in Castle Market Ditto - tried them on upstairs in the stockroom. Was really pleased with my own first pair of jeans. Did you do likewise? Link to post Share on other sites
