1. I had a Nehru jacket and matching pants.

In retrospect, they looked like pajamas.

[Gormy Cuss]

2. Rarely if ever saw a Nehru jacket IRL

but they were all over TV. I remember the slave bracelet thing but based on the name alone my mother wouldn't have allowed them in the house.

3. And Zoot Suits

[Kutjara]

10. There's a Zoot Suit shop not far from me, in Fullerton CA.

I can't imagine who they sell their product to, because I have yet to see a zoot-bedecked citizen anywhere in the local vicinity.

It could be the lamest-ever front for an illegal narcotics business, I suppose.

12. We've actually had a bunch of guys come into the costume store

looking for 40's suits lately... :)

[Mojambo]

4. I wouldn't mind seeing the cat suits make a comeback... n/t

[QueenOfCalifornia]

5. They did

but it was in the mid '90's

I love them too... Meow.

8. Huh? What? Sorry, I missed everything but the last one... any thread with Erin Gray gets

a rec from me.

9. Not only do I remember 'em but I actually wore everyone of those.

I have several Slave Bracelets :evilgrin: They fit right in around Woodstock.

[DarkTirade]

11. It's actually an old rennaissance/medievalish thing originally.

The middle finger was known as the 'slave' finger (no clue why), so a bracelet that had any part that connected to the finger became known as a 'slave bracelet'. No reason why it can't be worn on another finger though, like in the pic. :)

I made a couple of those back when I was doing chainmail. Obviously of a very different style than that one. I usually had a chain wrapped around the wrist, and a triangle of mail across the back of the hand, the tip connected to a chain around the finger, and the other two points connected to the chain around the wrist.

13. I think of slave bracelets as somehow sexy.

I liked the one Drew Barrymore was wearing in "Poison Ivy".

[Connonym]

14. I agree and I also love neru jackets

[otherlander]

15. The Nehru jacket looks wierd with the matching pants.

But I think that it would look okay if they wore it with jeans, and took away those wierd-looking necklaces.
