Your essential pit clothing

TangyZizzle

Lads, make a list of what you deem essential wear for a heavy nights moshing. Personally, Iv never been good at dressing for the occasion. I find that runners arent good for the well-being of your toes.. I lost a toenail just last year after a fairly heavy fella landed on me with his heel

So what do you guys/girls wear? And where would you say is the best place to go clothes shopping for events such as these?

Cheers

Seriously?

Yeah, my toesies hurt, and my clothes are very.. not metal. I dont even know where to start to look for them.

Well I generally just wear jeans and a t-shirt, and if I wore a hoodie to the thing, I'd generally tie it around my waist, too hot to wear the thing in pits usually. For shoes, I wear New Rocks, not much chance of losing a toenail in them. The only problem I have is getting them in my size. I'm not sure of many Irish shops that sell New Rocks, I know there is Asha on the top floor of St Stephens Green, but outside of Dublin, I dunno.

Pair of safety boots, don't have to be steel toe caps the more modren hardened plastic will do, pair of combats with good pockets which zip or button down tight so you don't loose your stuff and a large t shirt. Not so large that you can't hauled around by the back of it but large enough so you don't end up looking a runner up in a wet tshirt competition.

a wifebeater n a botched crewcut. maybe a circle jerks tattoo in an attempt to justify the debacle

the biggest most dressed-down arsehole in the pit will thrive, and emerge as last man standing



EDIT: stale converse, pants of some sort. no skirts guys

Why would you be concerned about what you're wearing in a pit?? You're at a heavy metal gig not a f*ckin fashion show! Though if you're concerned about your toes then a set of steel toe boots and you're sorted

Iv gotten looks before, and sly remarks from the way Iv dressed. Honestly I cant see much wrong in wearing a football jersey to a gig, but other cúnts seem to.

Fuck them, you're not there to impress anyone with how metal your clothes are, you're just there to enjoy a band you like. Not everyone is into having beards, long hair and wearing leather. Doesnt mean you enjoy the music any less.

Docs are good for keeping your toe nails- also then you can be the one doing the damage
I tend to wear jeans tshirt and a zip up hoodie or a jacket. Wouldn't wear anything that I'm very attached to though- lost way too many hoodies at gigs

Wore a germany jersey to a gig awhile ago cos I didn't want to be too sweaty after the pit

Usually just band t shirt, jeans and runners for me, never even thought about it really.

T-shirt and combats/jeans/shorts, pair of runners/boots

People wearing massive spiked wristbands in a pit deserve a kick in the arse, bloody things are dangerous.
