New stage clothes

 I was looking for a photo to add here and came across this, me and the Mrs looking at our guitarist who just went into the biggest Les Dawson improvisation mid number. I am of course bollock naked behind there.

I’ve built up a selection of highly dubious clothing over the 7 years I’ve been with the current band. Wifey no longer gets concerned when she sees me looking through women’s sparkly tops and tight flares.......

They make these things called scissors. You apply them to the kind of fabric you would like your stars to be, in the size and shape you would like them to be, with a little extra around each edge that you fold under. That folded edge is the edge of your star. Then you apply this oldfangled technology called "needle and thread" to your stars just back from that edge and hey presto you have a shirt with stars on it.

Cheers for that. Just the kind of unhelpful, sarcastic, smartarse comment I expected...

I usually wear a shirt to match the bass (and Orange bass cab).

Someone who knows how to sew shouldn't be complaining about being given helpful advice after they complain about not being able to buy shirts with stars preinstalled in their high street, or about having the borax poked at them.

Unhelpful, unasked for, advice. Please refrain from offering any more of it.

I've debated wearing colourful blazers/jackets in my new covers band a la Entwistle but I'm yet to take the plunge..

I’m a big fan of traditional blazers/jackets. They have lots of pockets to hold all sorts of stuff. I have a selection, mostly bought at charity shops. This is one of my more sober ones.

Got our debut gig with The Americana Revue   https://www.americanarevue.com/   coming up in 2 weeks, so I went shopping with my wife for some new clobber.

The gig is completely sold out, which we are very proud of.

 

Anyway, here's the gear

 

Anyone else buy gear exclusively to wear at gigs

 

 

Cool, I like the threads.

I'd love a tonic jacket for gigs, if I could find one budgie style in the op  shop before some other fashionista snaffles it.

To paraphrase....

"They make these things called scissors. You apply them to the kind of fabric you would like your jacket to be, cut according to the pattern in the size and shape you would like it to be. Then you apply this oldfangled technology called "needle and thread" to your fabric pieces and hey presto you have a jacket."

I hope this helps. And remember.....
 

"Someone who knows how to sew shouldn't now complain about being given helpful advice after they complain about not being able to buy the jacket they want before some other fashionista snaffles it"

You're welcome.

Yes, Len, he has the ‘undertaker’ look down to a tee…

My stage clothes tend to be stuff that's now too knackered to wear on the farm and slightly sweary t-shirts.  My mum says I'm cool.

[TimR]

I have a pair of black jeans and a top that hang at the end of the wardrobe that I only wear for gigs. 

 

I have enough to worry about without having to be searching for something to wear when I should be loading the car. 

 

I've done that for so long in my established band that I'd forgotten what it was like to discuss what are we wearing to the gig. I found it an odd conversation when I started gigging with one of the new bands. 

[Cat Burrito]

I tend to dress the same on and off stage but I go to Tescos dressed like I am playing a gig. I'm probably the other way around in that I have two or three more toned down outfits for work (essentially my main look dialled back about 30%).
