And that’s all that really matters.  I’m in the process of paring down my wardrobe to more essential items, and what will make-or-break me keeping them or not will be their hue and compatibility with my complexion and hair color.  In my twenties and thirties, I wasted a good amount of money on items I thought were the proverbial dog’s danglies, whether they actually looked good on me or not.  Due to exposure to “casual culture” on the fringe of the Oi! scene and friends in England, I ended up obtaining a collection of that sort of gear(Stone Island, 6876, C.P. Company, etc.), and after a while I realized that most of it looks foolish on me.  Soon after, I reverted back to my normal look(classic “skinhead”/Ivy League/traditional), but kept a couple vintage pieces by C.P., Stone Island, and Paul& Shark which fit into a more classic look.
  Oddly enough, one of the main items I’ll be keeping is a covert coat, too.  Nice, grey one that was made to order.  Not ultra expensive, but made for me and it gets more compliments than any of my other coats.
  Anyways, in summation, I applaud your frugality and I hope to achieve a more slimmed-down wardrobe as well.

Casuals AND Ivy...

It just SO a rare coincidence that someone is familiar with "Casuals" AND Ivy. And found his way to his forum.

You're not cluttering anything up, carry on.

Fair play, gents.  I’ve been to and lived in different places, but I always feel at home in Town.

^ The Young Soul Rebel affair was one of the most hilarious episodes in FNB forum history. Sadly the videos he posted on YouTube of him setting fire to vintage Ivy shirts in his bathroom (in order to teach people on Talk Ivy a lesson) have all been taken down. Perhaps after some sober reflection he felt a tad embarrassed about it all?
