I remember seeing a picture of him with a BOAC flight bag on the old J Simons website.

Finding a decent bag for everyday is surprisingly hard, for me

Large bags, with handles or shoulder straps, advertising some (often defunct) airline or other.  Get all your dirty washing into it.  Also known as 'holdalls', similar to those carried by Northern Soul fans for All-Nighters.

ah. carryon bags/gym bags.

Good to see that again.  I'd like to get some more of him on here, including those from Facebook.

oh do post! haha

re. the flight bags - there was a company doing a full range of repro's with all the old defunct airline logos etc.

Damned if I can find the link.

they probably originate from Japan (as usual)!

There's a lot of 'retro' style rubbish about, but the old stuff seems to fetch quite decent money.  The sooner this 'shabby chic' nonsense disappears up its own arsehole the better.

Awful stuff. For Merc modernists. Didn't realise we had some of them on here.

I could answer that back in the day, blah blah, different context, rhubarb rhubarb, would never dare to insult the great John Simons, etc etc.
On the other hand, I don't know the man, so ... maybe he is.

Jeez. Get a grip, RRP.

Perhaps. I was referring to that well-known purveyor of mod tat on Carnaby Street- rhymes, not entirely coincidentally, with 'berk'.
