A rare opportunity to bid for possibly a unique item. This is an original box containing a dozen pairs of Royal Blue genuine Cherub brand 60's style "Regulation" school knickers with double gusset and back panel, they come from the private collection of Will Johnson and are not modern copies as offered elsewhere on Ebay. NOTE: These items have been in storage for a long time and may have some marks caused by the effects of age on the dye, Royal Blue pairs are particularly prone to to this problem. The integrity of the cloth is not affected. Will Johnson supplied school knickers enthusiasts with genuine school knickers in adult sizes for 2 decades via advertisements in Exchange and Mart, he purchased the remaining stock from the Cherub factory when they ceased trading. This style was standard wear for grammar school girls during the 60's and 70's. Originally designed to be worn both as regular underwear and games kit it increasingly began to be worn only in the later role and covered with a games skirt. This rendering the modesty double back panel an unnecessarily expensive feature and lead to flimsy knickers, often in nylon, becoming the norm. Although similar in construction to Montfort school knickers, they are higher cut on the thigh and of slightly lighter weight cloth. These are Royal Blue pairs in Cherub Size 20in They read more
