That story about getting duffed up in the Kings Road in early 77 on my very first visit reminded me about what my mate was wearing
Now bear in mind we were 14/15 yrs old and no money, my mate had a white t shirt on and he'd written in felt tip "I love Gaye Advert" and then safety pinned a black and white photo of Ms Advert, that he'd cut out from a music paper.
I recall a few attempts to stencil slogans on jumble sale shirts a la The Clash which was a bit of disaster
I even bought a cheapo boiler suit and used to wear that quite a bit
The cheapest and most fun accessory was the punk badge. There was a great shop in Endell Street in Cov Garden which had a great supply back when they were hard to procure
So, over to you, your DIY or homemade or home assembled punk clobber
The worse the better
Or just tell us about your painting on the back of your leather jacket (something Andy has already done elsewhere)
