Peace brethren... I'd like to know if anyone in here has the knack for working older, "played out" articles of clothing and working them into newer pieces of your wardrobe. In all modesty, I think I'm fairly good at such an undertaking. I've been rummaging through the attic of my parent's house and digging up shirts and pants from years ago that I try to visualize hooking up with today's brands.

For example, I found an old ass three button polo by Pure Playaz, in a storage container. As crazy as it sounds, I visualized hooking it up with a nice fitted, some premium jeans, and some Visvims. I'm not saying I'm gonna do it, however, I certain I could get away with it.

Point is, if anyone in here is innovative enough to take some crap from back in the day, whether it be a pair of British Knights sneakers, a Generra Hyper Color tee, or some Cross Colours jeans, I'd like to see some pics of how you would hook up the piss poor old, with the slick and trendy new.

PURE PLAYAZ8) i remember that brand....LOVED IT. but to answer your question, my friend tried to revive a MECCA jacket navy/lime piping and I must say it was not poppin'.....polo may be the only old school brand from the 80's baby gen to be able to come back. and maybe WU-WEAR:)

And possibly some old PNB Nation windbreakers.

It's sad to see what's become of PNB these days.
You know the line is terrible now when you tune
into Monday Night RAW and see Jerry "The King"
Lawler rockin one of those gold foil crown tees.

The only problem is that Generra Hypercolor tees (actually ANY Generra) and Cross Colours were shit even when they first dropped and were never stylish in the least so it would take some definite skill if it's even possible. I'm surprised no current brands have done a retro bite of the Benetton and Coca-Cola style rugby shirts yet (or maybe I'm just not aware of it being done).
