Where did you used to buy your gear??? 20:04 - Dec 19 with 5300 viewsenfieldargh

My mum always bought my clothes until I watched Adam Faith in Budgie. Then I started to have my say

I noticed the jacket in a shop called Gladstones in Willesden High Road on the corner of Churchmead Road which was on the 52 bus route from my home in Kingsbury to my dads place in Portobello .

I saved up and got off the bus en route and bought the lovely thing.

The shop then became my go to place for my clothes. South Sea Bubble loons, suede trousers, velvet trousers and shirts with large tear drop collars with daft patterns on them. I had a Goucho Marx one...loved it.

Boots & shoes from Shellys in Oxford street.

I was never into Ben Sherman shirts, sta pressed jeans, doc martins as I never felt I would be able to live up to the image.

At 17 I went to work in Jean Junction Oxford Street, everything 40% off, so Gladstones lost me as a customer.

dont know when it closed its doors. Any one on here go there?

Have a closer look, at least a couple of mentions above. Still a very good shop in my opinion and the website is handy if you’re not in London.
