I like eccentricity,in fact today I bought myself an Ivor Cutler record , but there is no excuse in what I've seen from Will, I know to push the envelope you need to take risks, but I've seen nothing that convinces me he knows what he is doing with combining items to make an outfit.
What we need is the style equivalent of Gordon Ramsey to go after these people and ask what the fuck they think they're doing.

Needs a pattern somewhere, too much block colour. Tattersal shirt at least.
Now thats alright in my book, if you passed him in the street you wouldn't think anything bad would you? Its not like he's wearing gray flannels before 12pm is it? Or a blazer with gold coloured buttons in the dead of the night!

If there was ever a man who needed a jacket with SHOULDERS this is him, but either his tailors are letting him down, or he's meddling with them.
There's something about the proportions of that coat that I don't like, but I can't put my finger on it.
The fit seems fine.

''Good morning! How are you? Shut-up!'' is a firm fav, as well as ''I Had A Little Boat'', the only album I've got by him is Ludo, but I think it's an absolutely brilliant record. Youtube throws up some good vids featuring him.
This performance of Shoplifters from The OGWT, seems quite apt.

I first came across him on local national radio here I think it was a doco and infollowed it up as I'm fond of oddities and od people. Makes me feel less odd.
I have a collections of different versions of LOUIE LOUIE on cd, vinyl, singles, I had thought it would interest others. But alas.
Here's a blast from the past, poor pony-tailed Familyman is so ecstatic about his Buzz Rickson khakis he forgets to hem and taper them:
