Nobody in Tacoma believes me about Swabbies. there was a store in Bellevue called Saturdays that sold them in all colors. my sisters and I loved them. If they had them now, they'd be back in style!!!
Yes, yes, yes! Went to school in Shoreline and swabies were an absolute must. And they had to have the anchors on the buttons to ensure they were the real deal. We actually went to the Navy Surplus on 1st ave downtown to buy them. The reason I found this site is because I was looking to see if they were still sold anywhere online!
Blocks Army & Navy. was the place. I would give big bucks for a pair.
When I was in HS, my dad would take me to 1st ave in Seattle,to buy my 2 pr. for the school yr. I was just telling my husband about them. I told him about the anchor buttons. Can't remember how many buttons they had. I love them and at 54, if I could find them, I'd definately wear them!
Got a 70s theme halloween party coming up, so googled swabbies to see if I could find them. Didn't know they were mostly a Seattle thing. I do remember that they fell apart real fast. Those buttons used to pop off like tiddly winks. Certainly wouldn't be any better on my 53 yo bod.
Yes - Blocks Army Navy Surplus. THE place to buy Swabbies. Man, they looked great on guys with the platform shoes, but you had to make sure the bottoms drug just a little on the floor. My crush in Jr Hi had yellow cords, and wow - did he look hot in them! Silky shirt, unbuttoned w-a-a-ay down, puka shells, and those black platform shoes. Yum!
