80s Casual Classics - has grown year on year to become the largest 80s Casual store of its kind . Planet Clothing went on line via an ebay shop early 2006 dedicated to Vintage styles from Sergio Tacchini & Fila Vintage White-Line. Whilst owners Neil and Kevin had branded fashion stores in two towns, it was soon clear Neil could make a return to his casual past an era of great teenage memories and quite possibly an era that was left unfinished. A mid life crisis or simply great times revisited, its seems the casuals amongst us agree on the later and by 2010 everyone else will wonder that we are elitist fashion leaders once again. Neil jumped on board with key 80s memorable brands also re-inventing the past with a return to their 80s logos , designs , fabrics and colours- the retro return was underway kick started by a Nick Love Danny Dyer spot on film with much cool clobber memories. A chance phone number in The Business DVD highlighted much interest in our old school terrace classics and with the phone ringing some "back in the day" chats, our confidence soon grew. It was not simply a retailler experimenting with his childhood dream as a casual dresser wannabe other like minded types were chasing the stuff they owned or dreamed off Fila bjs, Sergio Dallas Tracks, Pants, Roll Necks, Lois cords, Diadora borg elites and Farahs etc etc. A big thank you to Nick Love and Co and Danny Dyer and Tamer Hussan for continuing beyond release in supporting the revival. see our tribute to the business page amazing gear some out in 2010.

As a 36year old back then (now 40- yellow sergio track) with fond memories off this amazing era we embraced serving many like minded old skool terrace casuals and vintage sports lovers, keen to return to the heyday of buying premium luxury sportswear.  Ebay was originally the place to be for any retro vintage 80s sports gear with premium prices all round for borg and mcenroe classics (see our john mcenroe sergio tacchini tribute -click here) were being relaunched in classic styles. While only very few styles were getting a re-launch in the UK the films success saw stocks run short and requests flooded in. After much sales success we were eventually allowed to raid Italys archive collection- imagine that (childhood dream), after all deadstock stocks ran out we tracked down stock piles in USA and imported some very rare classics.

The Classic Sergio Tacchini Navy Dallas in 2006/07 was elusive with a white badge (being made in error with a red badge) our USA stockpile find soon fetched £150 on many occasions. When UK distributors fell out with Italy we got a translator to step in and broker fresh one off deals. We launched our own website late 2007 although still to this day feature limited product on ebay although its not the place of 2006.

As each day passes we have teamed up with brands and customers and full of confidence we have set about deals to exclusively sell many items from the likes of Fila Vintage and Sergio Tacchini including many key Borg and Mcenroe styles adored by casuals. We now intend to have an ongoing stock programme on all key retro 80s best sellers

The Diadora Borg Elite gold was another key selling piece on its return with many customers buying 3 pairs and then prices soaring to £200 for kangaroo skin it was clear they demanded a higher price and on selling out across the uk they soon did.. The Fila Vintage white line Borg matchday / settanta Mk1 track jacket in green, navy and red and the Sergio Tacchini Dallas Masters and new young line polos have played a huge part in the success of our business and key items to bring back great 80s casual day memories. The Fila terrinda possibly the most requested item of all time is due and £100 will seem nothing to the £1000 Terrindas were fetching following Tamer hassan /Charlie in Nick Loves The Business film. Adidas has made a huge comeback on retro 80s trainer styles Adidas Trimm trabs, Forest Hills, Gazelles, SL76, SL72, Munchen, samba, bamba and many more adidas originals styles due for another release. Its great time ahead
