Hi all,
I don't post threads often, so when I do you know Its important - I've got a dilemma...
I've been invited to a girls 21st birthday party. My girlfriend is on holiday so I'm going on my own with a couple of work mates. Its compulsery 80's clothing only!
My dilemma - what / who do I go as?
My ideas so far are:
Indiana Jones
Jedi Knight
The Hoff
An A-Team Member
Shell-Suit Scally
Any ideas? Where can I getr a decent out fit from? I don't want to pay top dollar so will be scouring the charity shops, but don't like my chances.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

There both wicket ideas - I'd love to go as a mafia don - nice white suit and shiny shoes.
Was also thinking of Del Boy or someone like Boyce.

I'm 5'9".
Finding clothes form the 80's cheap, let alone famous outfits is proving to be a nightmare!

Marty McFly verges on my luck in finding a red puffa waist coat I think!
If I can't find that, or a cheap Indy Hat, think the Shell Suit is the way to go.
I don't have any leather trousers or jeacket so can't go as The Hoff
