Oh I’ve been DYING to use that subject title ever since I photographed these babies!
This Mr Freedom design has become iconic over the years. It seems to have been one of their most popular and cherished designs, more usually seen with matching jacket (as seen below on Katy Manning of Dr Who fame and Olivia Newton-John).
This particular pair of knickerbockers are very unusual though in that they’re made of suede, rather than the velour or cotton you normally find them in. Such a delicious shade they are too, mainly a chocolate brown suede with damson trims and inserts. This does mean they’re a little stiffer than the usual ones, but I think they’re infinitely more fabulous because of how rare they are! When it comes to collectability and investment potential, you can’t go too far wrong with Mr Freedom.




Those are awesome!
Hi there-these are really lovely, reminds me of my black velvet pair I had when I was 13! Have a lovely weekend!
Is that Sir Cliff with Olivia? Heh.. love the chocolate & damnson colouring..
