Pause for breath. I have good memory for design and favour the colour blue (really ?!) and like many modern kevvies but quite a few look similar with the barbed wire / razor wire design.... Some great memories there! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bought Bobby his first set when he came over from the states. These are my favourites..... 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steve roberts 9,246 Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) Chris & Geoff Pusey c1973 with their polka dot creations. Chris basically blue and Geoff red. Also Peter Collins in his pastel coloured leathers (1974?) Always thought Ivan's Red, White & Black leathers were rather good representing his Canterbury (NZ) upbringing but also were 'The Aces' colours by chance...he wore them for many years. Robert Pfetzing's 'Five Flavours' variations. Bert Harkins' tarten mustard set of leathers. Reg Luckhurst's Golden Boots...before boots were covered over by leathers.

steve roberts 9,246 Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) Remember Hans Nielsen at a pre-season practice session at Cowley wearing black leathers before his sponsor's logos were to be added. He later passed on a set to Oxford junior Phil Roberts who wore them for a couple of years before injury forced him to retire. Halifax's Tom Godel wearing a pair of Dag Lovaas's leathers with the name Dag removed. Ole Olsen's yellow and orange leathers (c1972) with the Wolves emblem incorporated within the design. His Danish leathers worn during the 1972 World Final. Edited October 20, 2018 by steve roberts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevehone 3,429 Posted October 20, 2018 Ivan Mauger's Circle Industries red, white, and blue were my favourites for years. Hans Nielsen in all black with the white ECCO sponsor were cool too 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a fan of black, I thought Olsen had some great ones, particularly when he was sponsored by SodaStream. Surprised nobody has mentioned Ray Wilson's yellow Bostik leathers...
