A handkerchief with original Goddard (AA) illustration with the (male) group members' heads (Andy Warren, Matthew Ashman, Dave Barbe, Adam Ant) composited onto female fetish characters' bodies with lyric verses and refrains from the Ants' 1977 song “Dirk Wears White Socks” (not to be confused with the album of a similar name released in November 1979) - along with various other quotes.
This design was initially produced as a T-shirt in a very limited run for the band and friends to wear, and was later produced and sold to the public by notorious punk shop "BOY" in the Kings Road, who opened to compete with Westwood`s renamed "Seditionaries" boutique just down the road at the World's End.
The vendor purchased this during the period from BOY and shortly after purchase met Adam Ant and Marco Pirroni who signed to handkerchief for him. 43 x 43cm.
