Oh I get it, you were referring to the Sex Pistols guy. Nevermind.

Back to researching holiday cassoulet recipes...

^ he claims to run a successful salon, but can't even run an Etsy store.
I'd put big money on his wife running the salon and then subsidising his fantasy 'hard man' world.

He's also a survivor of the Casual Wars between Oakland Wanderers ( North End) vs West Ham in Trans-Atlantic Challenge Cup.
But he ran home crying when the ICF started chanting....
"my dog sleeps on Pringle,
my dog sleeps on Pringle,
na na na na,
na na na na"

A screaming fantasist with an arsonists soul, a really sad sad fucker.

^ hahahaha

And he buys cashmere from a charity shop. How often do you have to frequent a charity shop until, finally, a cashmere sweater in your size and a design you like turns up?

Just imagining said tattooed hard man, hanging around in a high street charity shop, waiting for new deliveries, with squinty eyes, closely inspecting the goods.

Man, get a life.

I see your point haha!
I'm kind of looking at them from a Casuals point of view I suppose.. one of the main reasons that I embraced that particular subculture after many years in the "Hard Mod" / (I know, I know..😅) Suedehead camp was that it had, IMHO, a much broader set of influences but still had the oneupsmanship angle that I loved so much. For instance, I am a HUGE Smiths fan, and although it's has certainly become fashionable for Skins to embrace them over the past decade or so, when I was coming up if you admitted to liking the Smiths you had to back it up usually with your fists haha!
Casuals loved everything from soul and funk to indie, britpop, acid jazz, house even bands like Echo & the Bunnyman and Bauhaus. It was a breath of fresh air for me and absolutely broadened my mind in regards to trying to incorporate different things into my wardrobe. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it was awful, I'd like to think now that I'm older my filter is dialed in much tighter but I'll probably look back at my outfits 20 years from now and have a different opinion "

- summary: I watched Awaydays on DVD.

One had to back up liking the Smiths with one's fists? I know we music lovers have strong likes and dislikes and opinions and all, but I've never felt the threat of fisticuffs or the need for them. Weird.
