I just had long hair and a leather jacket, I chickened out.

Eynsham Red Oct 2021 11:13am, 20 Oct 2021 8,095 posts	0 Eynsham Red I used to sew inserts into my already huge flared jeans, which also were covered with patches and sewn on badges. No leather jacket for me as I had a denim one, also covered with sewn on badges and studs on the back. Statutory long hair too.
