Sears and Roebuck, the US catalogue king and family favourite, outdid themselves once again with Toughskins, the pants with the Herculean strength. Made kid tough, Toughskins’ funky flares were ultra-cool in colours and bold plaid print.

The roughest, toughest footwear around, you could get Toughskin sneakers to match your flares and keep you in style.
