and for men, really any trousers other than jeans or cargo shorts

Im fairly sure jeans would have been worn in the 60s but maybe not to a motor race this side of the pond ?

Don't get your head stuck through the roof hatch of a motorhome watching the Spitfires early morning flight!

I won't be doing that again

It's an interesting Goodwood Revival Conundrum.

I certainly remember wearing 501's at race meetings in the sixties.

And "split knees" if anyone knows what they are / were.

One year it poured all day and when I returned to my car the mud was so bad my beige trousers were ruined. The next day I wore the jeans I had travelled in and nobody seemed to object. Mind you, they were "old man" Wrangler Texas.

If I had a pair of genuine vintage 50/60s 501 denims you damn skippy I’d be wearing em!
Complete with the GSA badge thingy, the silly OG membership no and the family plaque.

Alas, I’m no way near cool enough to own such things

I'd reply to that if I could understand any of it

Apologies. You may translate it as: I’m not cool enough to own any vintage original 501s
