Rod the clothing expert over on Modculture WAYW thread, which BTW should be renamed WTFAYW had this to say about someones "rig".


Every individual item In your rig is a good looking item Steve, I just see a bit of a seasonal discord:

Jacket - seersucker gingham, nice combination of fabric and pattern for SUMMER

White OCBD - pretty much usable all year round. Matches jacket fine.

Dark tartan tie - 'dry' texture may be cotton which is a summer tie fabric but in dark green looks more winter-ish like those wool Christmas ties. A brighter patterned silk tie would have lifted the top half right into a summer look.

Square - again burgundy although providing a nice contrast to the jacket and a link to your shoe colour reminds me of sitting next to a hot fire with a glass of wine not stepping out on a sunny day!

Strides - I wear similar coloured dark / navy strides with my blue pincord jacket for a similar look. It's hard to tell, if they are lightweight sta press type cotton / polycotton or fresco wool they will be great but they may be heavy cotton twill which again says WINTER to me.

Shoes - I have similar shell brogues and I wear them in the winter with flannels and a donegal or herringbone tweed jacket. Clunky shoes like these are great but they mis-match with the lightweight summer jacket. Some burgundy loafers or suede derbies would have lightened up the outfit.

This from a man who wears Relco trousers, fused suits and jackets, H&M shirts, union jack shirts and sunglasses indoors. Fucking idiot.
No wonder I don't use the Mod word anymore...

Anyone remember Max Headroom?

The guy in that blog looks like Max Headroom's developmentally disabled brother.

The mod invasion was highly entertaining as I recall.

It's brilliant either way...but if it is a troll...they take the crown

I am impressed, however, with that comb-over.
