British Style in the soon-to-be swinging '60s
"The fashionable woman wears clothes. The clothes don't wear her."
- Mary Quant
"In case you didn't know, Eric Clapton no less, was one of Tony Hicks' biggest fans. When he spoke with Elton John, around the time he was playing piano with the Hollies, apparently, all Clapton wanted to know about was Hicks' guitar tone."
- Clive Payne, 'The Art Of Guitar'
'Eric Clapton once said in an article published in SOS in 2005 that the first note that Tony (Hicks) played on "The Ar That I Breathe" had more soul than anything he'd ever heard.'
- Excerpt from article at Hollies Legacy

"Everybody in a rock band wanted to date a model back in the day. That old dog Clapton was always sniffin' around them, looking to pick up some scraps. He said he'd wished he'd played the guitar part on the Hollies' 'Look Through any Window' after Tony Hicks started stepping out on the town with models. [Laughs] That intro's played on Tony's Vox Phantom 12 string and it's killer."

How did that come about? Did you purchase one because you liked them, or was it a gift?

Oh, I sought one out and found it at Montgomery Wards. It wasn't just the Beatles. Keith Richards and others were wearing them, just as a few years later hippies wore GI attire. Maybe the wellspring?  |

Ah, okay. I know you like your vintage rock 'n' roll and are a big 'Lawrence Of Arabia' fan. Not heard of Montgomery Ward though, truth be told.
Kids I knew growing up wanted the mod gear worn by Small Faces and the Who. I was different, I went after these crushed velvet jackets worn by the Kinks because they were 100% my guys - except I later found out they weren't velvet at all, they were hunting jackets. Despite this, I eventually ended up buying velvet jackets throughout my '20s, but I thought I looked good in them haha.

The epaulets might be the main difference.
