Like the look of those ^ but I’m an avowed Dealans fan anyway. (Not sure about the tash!)

Anyway ... that feeling when you’ve made an order and get word that they’re in transit but still a couple of days away. Like a kid in December. Can anyone relate? I keep looking at the website pics and hoping they’ll look as good in reality as they do on the pics!

I keep refreshing the Fedex page and it still says it's coming Thursday. That does not stop me from refreshing.

Who said JMMs go mostly with street wear for that seventies coke dealer image?

Actually, if you take away the tie and pocket square, it's kinda 80s coke dealer.

Which is to say, awesome.
HaHa love it!
Actually I often catch a rerun of Miami Vice which are shown daily at 11pm - I’ e been saying for a while that I don’t like how it’s become trendy to knock the eighties fashions. Some of it has not dated well of course but there are a lot of well turned out fellas on that show - set in a time when wearing suit or jacket and tie was the norm for both business lives and social lives.

And to continue the tangent further, if anyone’s interested in that period of Drug Wars in 1980s Florida there was an excellent documentary doing the rounds on cable a couple of years ago named ‘Cocaine Cowboys’ that gets deep into the story with interviews with the dealers and the cops who were chasing them. I got the book by one of the protagonists John Robert’s - American Desperado which is a good read of you like that scene.

Cocaine Cowboys is one of my favorite docs along with the old Vice ones like The Cannibal Warlords of Liberia/Africa’s Cowboy Capitalists etc.

Cocaine Cowboys 2 was **** though haha

It really is excellent (the first one) with the exception of the last chunk which focuses on Rivi the Colombian hit man just babbling on about all the people he whacked.
