Haha - "Man Talk"! It takes balls to pose in a knitwear magazine! Or, um, crocheted poufs. Or is this a crocheting vs. knitting scenario? Starsky's pouf looks crocheted, Hutch's knitted. Anyway, the boys do look ready to start throwing those things at each other.
You know, these look very authentic as magazine covers - except that the sweaters look wonderfully timeless, unlike a lot of 70s knitwear (well, Hutch's Irish one is a classic - which reminds me, John Watson in BBC Sherlock has a similar one).
It's strange and wonderful how the clothes Starsky and Hutch wear still manage to look mostly timeless and even cool and trendy (to me), considering the series was made during such a hazardous era in fashion. I'd like to have a chance to know what, say, the 1990s me would've made of the show's looks - maybe then it would've seemed ridiculous. I'm no great follower of fashion and don't really remember what was going on, but I have a feeling that by the 2000s the Seventies look sort of returned to fashion - well, at least crummy second-hand leather jackets and flared cords were my standard look then and I didn't feel like I dressed any different to my fellow students. Which is probably why S&H look so cool to me now - ridiculously enough, they remind me of my youth! And I wasn't even born when S&H was finished. :D
