^ All true, sadly, Hill.  I know.  Nice to see you - it always is.  But I did so love the original website and would put my hand in my pocket just to be able to view it again in all its beautiful, off-centre, Soho/jazz festival/Madras glory.

The Mod angle is being pedalled to some degree. But there is little in the shop that is overtly Mod, the odd parka maybe, certainly no nipped in jackets or pointy shoes. I’ve never spent time on Mod forums but I suspect they have similar enlivening debates, only the endless question would be ‘Is this Mod?’

As Hill says, they preach to a broad church with cash being the gospel.

They would’ve been out of business years ago if they relied on the ‘purists’, we should be grateful,

Sure.  If they'd tried living off what I've bought off them over the years they would have starved.  I guess, had I been in - or nearer to - London I would have discovered 2 Russell Street far earlier - which would have been a great blessing.  There are plenty of coats and jackets I hang my nose over on the Chiltern Street website - and, needless to say, I wish Paul all the very best.

That coat John was seen wearing outside his building...  yes...
