Nick Love
Neil Primett of Planet Clothing 93 ltd / 80s Casual Classics has been fortunate enough to play a special part in the making of this film, with his own 80's nut - Neil Primett getting the role of Style Consultant. Neil reports: "Nick Love had paid his respects to our site and ebay vintage rarities in making a few purchases. Clearly his film The Business had brought the memories flooding back to many casuals and was a key reason why this site exists. After 3-4 years on with many of us now hitting our 40s, the talks are much clearer - Terrindas, Settantas, Dallas, Sergio, Fila, Ellesse, Lois, Diadora, wimbledons, internationlist, Benetton rugby, Farah, ski jackets, roll necks , tanks tops, sleeveless tracks, Kickers. When asked to acquire Nick Love his own vintage Red Terrinda early 2008; a day later a chance ebay chat with a major Terrinda nut saw a meet with a Birmingham casual on The M1 with £750 cash and a pro badge Red Bj was Nicks. A further show of respect a cup of tea & some collectors Business pieces including a Tamer Navy Terrinda or 2!! Next we were back with a French Blue Terrinda and official news of a deal and The Firm being Nick's next production and could we assist... F**k YES!!! Nick clearly still had some 80s left in him and was planning to remake The Firm set early 80s with even greater need for casual clothing than The Business, a good few months of late nights on ebay, much research, many chats with UK collectors to offer up their collections and a wardrobe was born. Many thanks to Gary C, Jason R, Jimmy P and Mark Wise." Here are some some great Sergio Tacchini items that were photographed stock used in THE FIRM, and some shots of the movie's wardrobe.

Loosely adapted from the cult like Allan Clarke short film made in 1989. Nick Loves film is set earlier in The 80s (hence football casuals) and retells a similar story to the original - but from another character point of view. The film centres on Dom a young wannabe casual (I'm sure many of us can relate to this guy) drawn into the world of top boy Bex and The Firm. Dom gets accepted into The Firm and soon becomes one of the boys. As Bex and his boys clash with rival fans across the country and violence spirals out of control, Dom realises he wants out- but its not that easy.
