halloween stores probably would have some pleather pants for ya for cheap.

 

or buy some cheap rainsuit pants and spray them black.

 

I was thinking the same thing but didn't post.

Hypercolor shirts were like...boarder years. like 89/90. I believe. If memory serves me right I had one in like 6th or 7th grade...

the cars were 80's though..I had some of those. I think they were mid 80's.

biggest things in the 80's for me were break dancing. BMX. mag wheels. Parachute pants. MJ.....thriller. big wheels. lawn darts. single speaker single cassette tape boom boxes. Giant boom boxes. early rap....run dmc. Duran Duran. the Cure.

Things I remember.... The introduction of MTV. Mad Max. Warm up Socks and tiny skirts. learning about punk rock and AC/DC. AIDS freak out.

 

Check out some of the bondage/leather stores in San Francisco

 

Bwahahahaa!!!! I nearly spat out my soda when I read that!

Good to know that someone still remembers the Members Only jackets. Did you used to roll up the sleeves too?!

I had the matching rat tail hairstyle too hehe.

 

its just my halloween costume, theres no specific party im going to... im just all about the 80's when it comes to costumes and all my stuff (except my hair the socks stuffed in my crotch) is authentic usually stuff so im tryin to find me some black leather pants!

waist size is 32 but i want some that are like 30 or maybe 31 so they are super tight.

length doesnt really matter

appreciate all yer help!

(oh and i didnt mean it when i called u guys old... well maybe a couple of you )

 

Try "Disguise the Limit" in Railroad Square in Santa Rosa... They have just about anything, costumewise. My ex-husband and I went there to get decked out for a 60's theme party one time. But then again, I dunno if you want to squeeze into some tight sweaty rental leather pants...

 

thats where i got my wig, its a great store but i mean i want authentic stuff, real pants and shirts from back in the 80's

this isnt helping.

 

I don't get that link.... what is the point of it? I was born in 83, but I do remember some things. I didn't start kindergarten till 89. I was reading that and some of it was in the 80's. I know that the braclets didn't come around till like 3rd grade. I think I still have one lying around in a moving box... The bright scrunchies, the LA Gears, and the shirt tie things were the 80's. I remember wearing that **** when my older sister babysat us and dressed us in her clothes... I think that you have to see the '80's as 2 different era's almost. Theres the part (the late '80's) that all of us younger guys know; and then there is the eariler part of the '80's that all of you older guys know. Regardless, its still the 80's, we all just remember different things.

 

LOL ! Sorry dude,but it looks like this thread has turned into a "memories" type of thread.

 

heres my helpful shopping advice, either a costume store, thrift shop, or a costume rental place...
