Mod to Suedehead

Id bet the whole collection in the Ivy was 1960's Ivy - brand spanking new in amazing pastel colours .. that window just looks like old blokes clobber ( i like most of it myself but then im a old bloke not a 16 year old looking in at brand new treasure )

come on now the pendletons are for everyone.

Have a look on the BBC website,The scene that never died,explained it pretty well I thought.....whereabouts in Bristol are you from originally Mike ?

Spent most of my life in Kingswood, mainly around Two Mile Hill. I'm originally born in Kendal, Cumbria, but my father decided to move family to Brstol in about1972.

So where was my summer holiday this year.... BRISTOL!!! ...via Hohhot, Beijing, Zhengzhou, Pindingshan, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong.....Lot's of planes and trains...same again next year.

Doug Niedermeyer strikes again. Say what you like about the wee gobshite, but he was sharp in his civvies.

A skinhead barber?

Haha....that looks like our school regulation haircut notice. Yes the school I teach at actually has haircut regulations. I'll post a pic.

That is what I mean.I look in "Gentlemens Outfitters" and see the same dressing.I may be an old bloke-not a 16 year old,but I still want to be inspired by what I see.It is still about looking for treasure,that is why there is a lot of discussion on here about various Shops,Designs etc.,etc.It does not mean you are 60, so you are now into "Pipes and Slippers". Certainly not me.

I still get enjoyment from buying clothes and shoes,one of the reasons that I joined styleforum.
I agree with you about wanting something different to boring "old blokes" pipe and slippers type image.
Any reason to add to my wardrobe is a good one,this weeks heavy rain has given me the opportunity to search for an umbrella like I used to carry,a brown or tan showerproof coat/jacket,and to speed up my purchase of a pair of brown brogues or brogue boots with a Dainite sole ( sorry about that mate ).

I've used Oi Polloi the last couple times I've been in Manchester. Great shop. Their online shop is dynamite, too and great customer service as well.
There's certainly a lot of modern "casual" gear in their but the amount "heritage" labels and styles make it worth a look.

I got some Edwin jeans from them and regret not jumping on some of th Limited Edition ones that they had Edwin do for them.Good,helpful customer service also.

And isn't Lino's own style a cut above JS - if you like Milanese Flash!

Night and Day.
The thing is ,as I see it,Lino and Gianpaolo have created a very definite and recognisable "look" that moves with the times.Very traditional Belfast coats,DB jackets,English shoes ect ,but in interesting colours and fabrics that bring them up to date and worn in a very Italian style.
IMO,J.Simon had that chance back in the 60-70's but hasn't been able to make it his own and build on it.
If anyone needs reassuring about wearing jeans into


their 60's,then they need look no further than Lino...

I spotted this on the vintage section on e-bay. I'm not really one for 'dead mens clothes', and besides it's a 2XL, but that collar is proper.

Overall, i'd have to say very boring, as for the content i like the bomber jacket, Bryan Ferry can have the rest

I seldom buy anything other than ' dead mans clothes ' i've convinced myself there still alive, just fatter than me
