Hi all.
This is a questions I have had for most of my adult life. Is the iconic stage outfits worn by Mick (and Keith) preserved?
Like 69 Omega shirt. Uncle Sam hat
1972 jumpers
1975 baggy pirate look.

Not sure...I just hope they have the good sense to launder it.

Great question! I would totally tweet this on Monday.
This is a big question in the world of archival and museum science...to launder or not to launder. I was visiting a colleague at the Levi Strauss archive recently. They come across 100+ year old pants, often acquired from people who find them in, like, an old mine. I had thought the original dirt would be left on them, but they are actually carefully laundered. I suppose it is easier to preserve them clean? Preservation of garments is a little outside my ballwick (as opposed to archives).

I think the word is bailiwick dear, but of course I know what you mean. Those 100 year old Levi's are worth quite a small fortune so I'm told, who would have guessed? I do recall as a kid looking down at my feet and them being lost under huge bell bottoms jeans and arguing with my Mom when she first tried to dress me in straight legs, the nerve!
Don't recall ever seeing Mick in blue jeans, possibly black ones but I get the feeling he's more of a fancy pants kind of guy.
peace

Plus, until pretty much the 1980s jeans were so definitively American, and still carrying an imprimatur of The Worker on them...in part, what led to their widespread culturally-defiant adoption by the youth of the '60s!

ahhh, Naturlust...I left the "I" out -- how Buddhist
Bell bottom jeans...wow, I had them too as a little kid. With embroidered flowers, tho maybe I'm making that up. Yes, Mick is more of a fancy pants guy.

Mention of "the museum" is made here as if it were a fait accomplis...is it?
