Re: Do Not Twin A Loafer With A Harrington

very rarely wear a harrington at the moment, never with weejuns - mainly to distance myself from the plastic mod types and indie kids. Granted this was once me. Get the balance between classic, cliché and subtle is an art, sometimes - one, I add, I have not got yet.

Re: Do Not Twin A Loafer With A Harrington

When a look becomes a classic look, it becomes popular.

When it becomes popular, it becomes a caricature.

But it's still a classic look.

So ignore the self-concious and frail ego, and adorn a classic look.


Robbo what a fucking wanker you are.

Have you been on that fiery Finnish cognac again, heikki?  It's only a notion of mine, y'know.

Sometimes it just kind of falls together like that and hey presto you're out there in a Harry and loafers. Like those dreams of walking around without your trousers.

Re: Do Not Twin A Loafer With A Harrington

My objection nowadays is to a Harrington per se.  Not - some - types of loafer.

Re: Do Not Twin A Loafer With A Harrington

Picture the scene - I'm wearing some Levi's, say, and also have on a pair of Weejuns - I neen to go out (perhaps to buy a packet of peas from the supermarket, or maybe some milk - but that's not really important). It is not warm out, there may even be a light drizzle -I need a coat, or light jacket - I pick up a G9, of which I have many to hand........... You get me?

So it's not just a cliché, it's a supermarket cliché.

None of this is to be taken with anything other than a bucket of salt, of course.

Weejuns are pretty deadly slidey on most supermarket floors round here. I'd go for a pair of dessies instead. They offer a bit more protection against trolley attacks from behind too.
