Marvin Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) All my stage clobber is to be found in my wardrobe . My current band don't really do image as such. You'd be hard pressed to distinguish them from someone who was on the weekly supermarket shop. :-/ I on the other hand have exceptional taste and dress accordingly. Unless it's a band with a unique dress image, most stuff is readily available on the high st, markets, online etc Edited July 28, 2016 by Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartelby Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 [quote name='seashell' timestamp='1469698721' post='3100362'] Oasis market, Birmingham. [/quote] I loved that place when it was red, yellow and black. Back in the late 80s/early 90s, each month, I used to pop over to Brum (from Cov) and spend a small fortune in Oasis, Swordfish, Tempest, the record shop that was in a subway near the city hall and the one towards Aston Uni...

Trueno Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 All of the above is good advice. Whatever the band's image you should be able to find stuff from high street, markets, charity shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amnesia Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 If you are looking for 'rock' clothes...and your budget will stretch then I recommend Wornstar in the US. You can get their kit in the UK, but none of the one-off gear they do, and its bloody expensive too. I've had a denim jacket modified by Tina (Custom Creations by Tina)...see the link below...she is ace. She aged it, fitted the patches I sourced, replaced panels with leather and camo material...proper rock idiot stuff! https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=custom%20creations%20by%20tina There are loads of places online that will do custom stagewear. It all depends on budget and timeframe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulWarning Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 our guitarist got some stuff off Ebay from china, sizing is a bit of a lottery though, usually have to order a size or 2 bigger, but it's cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't recommend playing the fireman's ball when you're sporting thr full "leather 'n' chains" look, though... got the **** taken out of us good and proper.

Leonard Smalls Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) We don't care where it comes from, so long as it's crazed... Here's the Weeds complete with Sister Bez - 2nd guitarist has a Bishop's dog collar: The cardinal and Pope outfits were left over from a Utah Saints gig from when our drummer was with them - came from a theatrical outfitters. It used to be worse... This is a band I was in from about 1989: Wedding dress was about £3 from Oxfam - went beautifully with a black 2" stripe from hairline to chin!
