Target shirts were a familiar sight around Dundee in the early 70's."Target" being the brand name.
They were first worn in 1972 by skinheads who were kicking around in gangs, and were as popular as Ben Sherman shirts.
However, it was a rather short-lived fashion in gang circles, because in 1974 the Bay City Rollers had stormed onto the music scene and these tartan shirts became part of the BCR image. Needless to say, the gangs ditched the shirts once teenybopper girls started wearing them!
