Re: NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS- HERE'S THE ORIGINALS!
As to my personal "back ground" in "the scene": I do love Jazz and R&B, I also like dancing and I used to DJ for a while... I like some of the clothes...
That's it, no big deal... I like a lot of other things that have sweet FA to do with all of this...
but here's my forum schtick:
I'm Hard Bop Hank, I dig Hard Bop, Hard Edge painting and Hard Boiled crime fiction...
I go for soft shoulders, a soft chest on my jackets and soft collars on my shirts...

Re: NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS- HERE'S THE ORIGINALS!
originally I wanted to call this thread "Never mind the Pollocks", but I had to think of Jackson, and I thought it was just too much, and anyway, this is just another nice American perspective, of course Pollock's an Ivy outsider, too, if you'll take the "official definition" that simply equates the style with the clothes worn on these eight colleges...

very different from this, of course:

and there's also some nice American blogs:

and....

ups...
to keep it balanced... this thread is so Anglo-centric...

Re: NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS- HERE'S THE ORIGINALS!
... but this is just a quote that shows the fashion side of it...
To some people in the UK the style IS not just a fashion, because it means so much more to them:
many will love it as a professional look, from cab drivers to graphic designers, from car dealers to media people... for some of them it's connected to their love for modern jazz or modern art or simply to their work in retail... for others it might be a code connected to their sexual orientation and the gay fashions of the time, when they were younger... to most people in this forum the clothes themselves are a fetish, of course... not to mention shoos...
