Post by: dsanchez on February 22, 2008, 17:12:24
Someone is going to buy those soldier pants Bob is using now? Or maybe Porl's skirt?

Just curious...

Robert wore "soldier pants" when they played in Adelaide, back in August... quite a few people wear them here, well, when I say quite a few, I have seen the odd one or three...they were popular here about 3-4 years ago; as for Porls getup... didn't Robert wear the same thing a while back?  Maybe Porl has borrowed it..well, they ARE brother-in-laws, Porl may have liked it so much he asked to wear it!!  Or maybe its Janets??!!

I think we need to open a "CURE WARDROBE" store that sells various clothing like the ones the band has worn over the years.

Seperate in groups:

"The ANTI-IMAGE Years"

"The Gothic Years"

"The Radio-Friendly Pop Years"

"The Now"

...Of course not exactly like that, but you get the gist. I would love to own some of that style of clothing!

The photos coming out from the concerts are truly amazing!

I'd like a pair of Robert's soldier pants! :smth023

I'm not too sure I could pull off wearing a skirt.  :D

In that matter, my favorite "outfits" of Robert -

well.... the baggy style isn't necessarily bad for him to counteract the extra weight he gots goin on there but why soldier pants??  i think his old style was quite a lot better.

No me gustan los pantalones que usa ahora. Me gustaban los jeans ajustadísimos de antaño, pero creo que ese estilo ya no le quedan porque está más viejito. En todo caso, creo que la ropa de ahora es extremadamente holgada y lo hace ver muy bajo. Pero bueno, siempre Robert sale con sus look extraños. A ver cuánto más le dura este.

To revive a reeeeaaaallly old topic - camouflage pants are quite commonly worn by outdoorsy people in Australia, because they're well-priced, usually completely natural and breathable materials (with maybe 5% elastane for stretch, because you're supposed to be able to move in them), actually have pants legs long enough if you're tall, and have many useful on-board pockets for carrying all sorts of things, like gardening implements and your iPod!

Why would I pay three times the amount to buy hiking pants, which these days are all-synthetic (= bad for your skin and the environment), when these pants are actually more comfortable, and have all the abovementioned advantages?

Of course, the other great thing to wear hiking (and generally hanging about) is hippie gear, totally natural materials, comfortable, fair trade etc.  :P

As to the style thing referred to in this thread, isn't it funny how the Clothing Police makes its appearance with public figures (especially female prime ministers) - personally I think let people wear what they want and realise it's a personal and private decision...
