duran duran shirts

Post by donovan »

hi all, just been watching vh-1 ,they showed duran duran's 1983 video "is there something i should know" -all the band members are wearing blue indy shirts ! (sorry no screen caps) .theirs had button down collars but also had the two full length pleats down the shirt fronts- a feature i thought was unique to indy shirts and haven't seen any where else until now . just thought i'd share this observation.

Probably Cuban-style Guayabera shirts. Similar pleating - these were discussed here a few years back and I believe they were once regarded as the inspiration for Dometakis' original Indy shirt.

I think the pleats you're seeing are just darts in the shoulders. It doesn't look like they go down onto the pockets anyway.

In any case, they did remind me of these shirts we made for someone:

Kind regards,
