    oh my god, PETRO MOTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    i remember all this so clearly, xworks, eclipes, petro...classic 90s fashion, oh the memories.

    It was 1993 and smiley faces were on everything and tie-dye had made a comeback. The youth stomped around in baggy xworks jeans and doc martin boots with a flannel shirt tied around their waist. With a vacant look in their eyes as they listened to a mix tape of seattle bands on their Walkman while sucking on a push pop.

    much love goes out to those days from me.

    Yeah I find it very difficult to think that nobody has an old picture of these. I never actually wore them (either I didn't like them or my mammy didn't :D) so I can't be of assistance but surely someone can!

    x works and eclipse ruled. Although I thought I was the coolest person ever when I got my pair of pedro/petro motion jeans.
    Used to love going to Dublin and going to hairy legs, think thats what it was called anyways.

    god, thats exactly where i used to go! feckin loved it in there.

    i was an x-works wearer myself, and use to borrow my sisters eclipse jeans.

    all the lads round where i lived use to go around with their jerseys tucked in on one side of their jeans, just above the eclipse pocket, so everyone could see they had them. oh swoooooon we did! :o

    that thing on the back of the x worx was a hammer holder

    some of them also had a little leather thing down the back of the leg and that was a knife holder

    or so i was brought up to believe!

    They were a craze in the early 90s - I was too cool for those (more like too old!)!

    I remember my younger cousins wearing them.

    You know they're all sitting in a warehouse somewhere waiting to be re-released!They're going to make a comeback in the next 2-3 years. If you have originals that fit your going to be cool.....once again!

    I wasn't allowed get a pair of x-works :( Had to settle for Joe Bloggs ones. Did have an Eclipse top though alright. Also remember the Georgio(sp?) tops, a different colour on each side. Ah such fashion! :D

    oh my the memories- i had them all, petro motion(black jeans with the arse pocket looking like a barcode)
    xworx,xtreme,gravity,joe bloggs but the best was eclipse imo with the later line of eclipse tribal iirc.

    i thought i was the sh&t,i even made my confirmation in an eclipse (wait for it........) waistcoat! too ashamed to post pics up....

    whats worse, last month i was bitching about those emo crew saying 'we never bought into any of that gimmicky crap,we just wore whatever our parents bought us'. i had completely forgotton the constant nagging and whining to the folks about having to have the latest pair of oversized jeans saying 'but maaaa we'll grow into them'

    then, almost overnight we had the death of ravers jeans and the birth of the RIP-OFF tracksuits:o

    The thought of someone singing that wearing X-work jeans is scary.... very scary indeed!!
    More likely 2-Unlimited or Scooter!... or maybe the Outhere Brothers.... "I say boom boom boom... let me hear ya say wwwayooh! wwaayyoohh!"
    Or better yet... Kriss Kross!

    That is ****in comical, i can't stop laughin here. Might as well throw in a bit of ultra sonic while we're at it

    ok, I have found video evidence of this "wonderful" clothing from I think 1993 on a hi8 tape.
    I need make a screenshot and close up, yerman is wearing a red top with black stripes and black trousers with horrific big pockets or whatever its supposed to be. It almost looks like a one piece/jumpsuit,but clearly its xworx or petro motion ilk. Im no fashion expert but this is scary and should be locked up forever. Will try to dig out a screengrab next week. Also I have 1 bw still of similar clothing from 1992. Will try to upload both for "research" purposes.

    Old thread but one I missed first time around.

    I myself was a metal hand who also liked a bit of rave :D
    Some days I'd be out and about with my jacket with iron maiden or metallica patches sewn on, carrying my 'ghetto blaster' and playing Testament, Anthrax or MegaDeth, next day I'd be out in my Eclipse jeans, La Raiders top and baseball cap, with my ghetto blaster, playing some crap German rave bootleg tape from 'Oktoberfest'.

    Oh the shame :o
