There seems to have been some strange pieces of clothing being discussed recently. Here's my contribution...

Obvsiously it's not an everyday sort of jacket, but I still find use for it once and a while.

I wasn't surprised when I saw the Ben Sherman logo on the neck...

What's with this faux 2 Tone stuff? I did like hearing GS's news about their return to the mod-roots collection they are doing.

Anyhoo, that track jacket is not as bad as the Bill Cosby hoodie posted earlier. Ugh.

If by two tone you are refering to how the sleaves and ribbing appear to get darker, this is a result of my poor photography skills, and not how the jacket looks in reality.

I'm the one who posted that motley hoodie last week but this just looks like B grade ska style. That Devandervar [sp] thing had something to say about the shape of the torso, however strange. This is just a checkerboard.

Nope, your photography is just fine...

2 Tone is a record label, a sound, a sub-culture that blended ska, reggae, punk, pop, new-wave in the late 70s, mostly in England. Get Smart is probably the expert on it in these parts.
