Mod to Suedehead

[Kingstonian]

Wonder if he has any idea that he looks like a skin.

If he does look like a skin, then it’s a worse skin than even Dick Emery.

A Skinuck maybe ? (Skinhead from rural Ontario)

more like a geriatric metrosexual artisanal curated hipster who oils his beard frequently.

I think that was the intention

The "comedy" relies on him thinking they want a trendy version of _de Niro_ for an ad whereas it is for the Kia _Niro_. I laughed for weeks and weeks...

For clarification :-

He must be short of cash

Nothing new just rotating the old stuff.

Happy New Year

How do you choose which one to wear for any given occasion?

I like the Henri Lloyd.That brand was very popular with Scandinavian teens around ,76-1980.Your jacket is a take on the classic Italian Valsterino.Nice.
I mentioned them a few years ago,but inspired no conversation In the other thread I think?
Laughably (IMO) Harrington's,Fred Perry and ‘Dessies‘ continue to dominate.
Every season the fashion industry looks for that “something special’ to give consumers a ‘reason to buy’.
When that font runs dry,the Industry dies.Just like these threads.

Cheers that's what attracted me to it, something a bit different to my usual casual garb and cheap.

It's not a dig Yorky but do you ever a get a bit overwhelmed with the amount of clothes you buy. Does it take a long time deciding what to wear at times

Was thinking the same thing, which is what inspired my previous comment on the three near identical MA-1s.

I should be careful myself - lest the gods of hypocrisy smite me! - but I try to get some variety in my acquisitions so as not to repeat or overlap by too much. Sometimes we get attracted to either an item itself or the rush we get from acquiring it, especially if it’s something rare that we’ve been craving and tracking for a long time, but the end result of this is the more acquisitions the less they get worn as they have to compete with so much other stuff.

At this time people often make lists of what they’re hoping to acquire in the new year. My ambition is to buy as little as possible! Also to get rid of some stuff. I’ve said this the last several years and not done much about it but have had some recent success with eBay sales recently so will continue in that vein. Working from home even more than I usually do over the last year has me looking at some of the lesser worn and lesser attractive stuff in my wardrobe and wondering what might be next to get shifted to the spare room cupboard to be photographed and get listed on eBay!

No offence taken, l suppose I do at times, but I have got rid of a lot of stuff recently, and I also enjoy buying and wearing new gear, I don't spend much on fully priced items. I have decided not to buy anymore now until the end of the summer.
Saw a White Fred monkey jacket yesterday in TKmaxx with red and blue trim, but resisted it as I already have one albeit being about 25 years old now., it was a steal at £40 as they are now over £200.

As mentioned before, the film Please Sir! (1971) has some great looks but none as good as the 3 button suit slightly flared worn with a paisley patterned shirt. This bloke is definitely moving on.
