Days of Montagut, Fred Perry & Munsingwear T-shirts..

[Fishypie]

How time fLies ! ; gone are the days when wearing one is Like you were up there ..
Any fond memories of your fave T's Brothers ?..

 

[scroobal]

I remember every self respecting and successful bookie, uncles who are single and detective would not caught dad outside in the day without Montagut.

I heard they had a factory in Jurong and when they had clearence stock, the largest concentration of bookies will be outside the gate.

When You wore Montagut then, peopLe wouLd expect you to whip out a St.Dupont Lighter, that sounds the
'ting' ; the moment you fLick the the cap opened..
Ktvs' Mamasans wouLd sureLy know that a VIP have arrived .

 

[hokkien]

Those using dupont lighter will lower down the gas coz the refill very expensive

 

[scroobal]

Yep bro. Int those days you can hear the ting very often . I forgot about it. There was also a period when you wore a montagut, had a Dupont , you also had to perm your hair like a mini afro.

Burberry's. Expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Bought a few polo t-shirts many years ago. They last and last, not like cheap Giordano/Bossini crap.

A good shirt (any shirt) doesn't fade or stretch after wash, the material feels good on your skin. And it should be 100% cotton, not cheapo polyester.

Sadly, Burberry's recently closed their UK factories and are moving some manufacturing to China.

That's right. When chiong nightclub, must wear Montagut with Rolex on the wrist. Even those in their late 20s emulate their uncles.
