1970's Mod squad Leather Fashions






Hi All:



Check out this unique 1970's Modsquad Jacket!


How about those 70's! It was the one of the most creative, free-style design eras in our history. Designs were loud, flamboyant, and daring. Flower-Power ruled the world.



Some of my favorite 70's T.V. series were: ModSquard and the Streets of San Francisco. In comedy sitcoms: I enjoyed "All in the Family" for it's daring scenes, words, and topics that forced us to see the heart of a biggit on Prime Time. I'm sure that we all still today know an "Archy Bunker". For Variety: I enjoyed the Sonny & Cher variety hour. Movies: Shaft and Saturday Night Fever were my favorite Music: Superfly, Santana, Hendricks, Marvin Gaye, and the Bee Gees, were some of my favorite musicians. For Sports: Rollerskating was cool. For dancing venues, Studio 54 in N.Y. ruled. Although I was too young to enter Studio 54, I never missed an opportunity to watch my 20 year old brother make it his routine to go to the studio on Friday & Saturday nights. I still remember his wild clothes, his hat, which he called a "brim", velvet shirts, wide flared bell-bottoms, that hung over his plat-form shoes. And of course, his dark green ford mustang, was his ride.


In those days, N.Y. was dangerous and shady. Vandalism was common on cars, and it was not unusual to walk out of the disco and find your car resting on 4 blocks instead of 4 wheels. My dad always got the phone call the next day to pick him up.
