Mod to Suedehead

What a difference to the shiny, cheap, and nasty 'Elvis live in Las Vegas' tonic frequently seen at 'ska events'.

To be fair, most of them prob only get dressed up on the weekend and then dress normal in the week. Doubt the majority of them wear the kit all the time now.

Quite easy for a 50 something fella to wear 'the look ' without anyone but other participants even knowing the apple .

Yeah that's true, makes you stand out more when you are younger, people may age wear some pretty nasty stuff. Don't wanna know who started the trend of hoodies, trackies and skinny jeans.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I see "mod" in the title so...

Does anyone know how Jump the Gun harrington jackets are compared to Ben Nevis Combat harrington jackets? I recently bought a Combat harrington in small but it was incredibly baggy, especially the sleeves. I don't mind a bit of bagginess, but the Combat was just too much. Do you folks happen to know if a Jump the Gun jacket is slimmer than the Combat? I'm 5'9" (about 175 cm) and about 164 pounds. Would a 36S for the Jump the Gun jacket be okay?

Yes they are from my experience, give them a call though they should be happy to help you.

Yeah talk to Adam at JTG. They pride themselves on top drawer customer service and will be happy to advise, provide exact measurements etc. Before you call write down the measurements of your jacket so you can compare.

JtG Harringtons are way slimmer fitting than Combat/Ben Nevis. Merc are even slimmer than JtG (you can blouse JtG, but not Merc).

^I had never heard of that blog before, but it's really great! The article on the Italian skinhead scene is brilliant.

 

[MonkeySpanner]

Combat Harringtons are not that baggy to me tbh, and they are meant to be more on the baggy side considering they are golf jackets.

Highest compliment of all!

Which suppliers do you recommend? Any shops in or around Essex do you know?

Happy New Year!
