That sounds familiar too. I used to reckon that little corner of Kingston had the best shops in Britain.
Go to Alice Holt Forest (or similar Forestry-Commission-Park-With-Expensive-Car-Park-And-Go-Ape) and you’re guaranteed to see a middle manager in his early 40s pushing a buggy and wearing one of these.
I’ve hit up the Gruffalo trail at Alice Holt.
My sister lives in Ash and so we met her and her family there in the summer. I think we went round the Gruffalo trail too!
But I digress.
It’s got a good playground but the parking is outrageous (when I was wearing Carhartt I wouldn’t have given a shit about this).
Anyone use to have a Duffer hoody back in the 90’s?
I feel Stussy is the same but it could be different?
It’s no Moors Valley Country Park tbh.
I have a pair of Dickies site boots. I’d never come across them as a skater thing.
Not the boots, the jeans.
Yeah they were, pal. I used to have a red t-shirt with Dickies in big white letters across the front. Maybe you are cooler than you realised.
Kind of weird how Carhartt come in and out of fashion with different groups. I first heard of it in the late 90s/early00s when it was up there with Subaru as being identified with lesbian lifestyle.
Ah yeah, I do remember those t-shirts. A couple of the tweenage skaters wore them when we were teenagers.
you’re about the same age as me, bud. where was I when caarharrt and dickies were big? when were they big?
Never heard of Dickies.
Early 2000s
Just after the lesbians had finished with them.
Fuck off sean:

In the mid-90s Carhartt was big in the US amongst crack dealers too, apparently.
