Introducing The Dressers Anniversary Edition Book

The Dressers Anniversary Edition features the original book with the addition of 160+ pages to tell the story of the intervening years.

Some say the subculture was started by the Scousers, others in Scotland or down South by the Soul Boys. One thing we can all agree on is the Casual scene was a cultural phenomenon that peaked in the 1980s. Football, fashion & music were all somehow intertwined with one-upmanship, comarardy & continental sportswear to create a subculture that would become coined as Casuals. A tribal gathering that would take place in the youth clubs, pubs & terraces with a catwalk of Casual clothes that stuck two fingers up to donkey jackets & Dr. Martens. Wedge haircuts, rare adidas trainers & flamboyant tennis gear from the likes of Fila & Sergio Tacchini became the "in" look for those with a penchant for style driven sportswear. Dressers became obsessed with one-upping the "casual" competition whether it was Motherwell or Man Utd. Above: The Dressers Anniversary Edition Book now available from 80s Casual Classics. Originally released back in 2012 the Dressers book gave us an exclusive insight into the working class subculture & 80s lad culture. Featuring real life accounts of the Casual subculture from those who have lived & breathed the scene over the last 40 years. Never seen before pictures of the original 80s Casuals with collectible Stone Island & rare adidas trainers are all documented to create the definitive Dressers story. Bringing the clothes & the whole camaraderie of the Casual scene to life, the book has remained a staple on the bookshelves of Casuals & classic sportswear fans all over the world.

'The first-hand accounts and photographic imagery in DRESSERS are among the best I've seen on the subject.'

'For me there have only been two books of note about this thing of ours. I would consider DRESSERS to be the third.'
