Nothing can ever be too 1980s, the best decade ever.

It's not me.... but that doesn't mean it's not you

[Mr. Dazzle]

I agree.

I was born in 1984

[Count Steer]

It's a bit 'George Michael'.

Bloody youngsters nowadays!

The eighty's were not too bad for me....but the seventies.......

It's a bit 'George Michael'.

Going off on a massive tangent on my own thread, when he was alive I thought he was a massive twat, and I didn't like his music, but the information I've found out about him after he died about how he helped people, turns out he was a really sound bloke.

How do you know the eighties won't be too bad for you?

Is it too 1980s?

It's exactly 80s. I bought one like it (but in blue) in 1989.

[Historic note for any youngsters: there was no 'armour' then, they simply sewed in a layer of squidgy foam (if you were lucky, under a superimposed second layer of leather. Worst case they cut out an area of leather and sewed in a weaker panel ... ), so the diamond switching was to stop it moving. A few years later, the 'earwig' ribbed stitching 'style' was popular]

[Supermofo]

Not my cup of tea, but if you like it go for it.

No mention of CE rating except for the armour so suspect it's not rated but then I guess nothing was until recently.

[David]

Well...putting it like that, my seventies are ok ish at the moment....the eighties are not likely tto be a lot better...unless I win the lottery.
Perhaps I should start buying tickets.

I had a dark blue (nearly black) one like it from 1985 to 1995, I've rediscovered how nice it is to ride a bike in jeans and leather jacket (rather than full leathers or textiles) I'm considering going full 80s

Is it too 1980s?

I've still got one like that, wore it to a punk themed fancy dress party with a big Anarchy A tippexed on the back ............regretted ruining it so black hammerited over the A .

Are you sure you can squeeze your gut inside one?

Are you sure you can squeeze your gut inside one?

No, I'd need to try one on and it might be a bit loose around the chest

[Noggin]

I like it, but I'm an 80's chick!!
