I cant find the above photo so I might have imagined it.

No. It does exist. Mickey Tenner just had charisma. Even in a group photo or a flash of him dancing on RSG - your eye just goes to him.
Wasn’t he credited with being the first to wear a watch strap the wrong way? And bowling shoes? And a thousand kids copied him instantly.
I think I heard he owns some kind of fishing business in NZ these days?

Now I think about it, It may have been an anorak I’ve seen him wearing. One of those more associated with the mod girls of the time. Can’t find it online now so maybe he’s not named?

That's a period of 'Mod' that I find slightly confusing.  Does it come somewhere between the original Modernists' younger brothers taking themselves off to Ronnie Scott's and the eruption of beach-fighting?  It's a long time since I read anything on the subject but seem to remember 'Tiles', later, as the apparent nadir.  Presumably the Modernist jazz fans looked down their noses at 'Ready Steady Go'.  I once had a copy of Melly's 'Revolt Into Style' and he mentioned an excess of tailoring - bespoke, I assume - with young men seeking the attentions of Bilgorri.  Of course I may be misremembering much of this.

Melly didn’t make any secret of not liking mods. But he was probably sore coming from a more trad background

My dad was into the mod scene. Georgie Fame at The Flamingo. Spending weekends on London streets. Good mates with Geno Washington who used to scrounge fags off him and his little mob. Brighton. Illegal scooters. I think he just moved on and never bothered speaking about it.
When we got a video recorder he saw Quadrophenia advertised and declared he used to be a mod and recorded it.
Few days later I was ill off school and so bored I put on that old film. Quite a revelation for a twelve year old.
Making connections and nicking dad’s records was half the fun. Pre internet you had to really dig for any bit of information. I imagine it was the same for early eighties Ivy fans.
I quite like revival music. A lot of people don’t like it and that’s fair enough. It’s very much of it’s time and hasn’t aged well. A lot are down on it because they see it as a poor copy of the original. Without realising it was just a part of mod forever renewing and evolving. And when they refer to the original mod music they’re talking Who/Kinks/Small faces. No clue about Jazz, Soul or R&B.

Don’t think so RG. Although he does feature a lot in there. I’m sure it is a book or magazine article. I remember being surprised he’s wearing a parka. Then realising it’s one of those hooded anoraks the girls used to wear. He’s surrounded by girls, all except one wearing the same anorak, so he’s obviously borrowed it.
Mystery!

I've just read the discussion in question. It certainly has its moments.

'If a grocery clerk punches me, I might just stand there and take it as I'm not going to fall down, others, I might decide to bring the heel down and break the bone. It might be worth doing time for that, or not.

I'm pretty sure any place, I would wear that jacket - which is from WII not Vietnam - I wouldn't be under threat from ex-Vietnam veterans or their offspring looking for a fight. And if they did, I would refer them to the images of napalm on the naked girl's back...which in this part of the world trumps John Wayne's Green Berets.'

Oh dear - history repeating itself.

Actually I have some sympathy for him, it’s not like he was walking around wearing a Military Cross or some medal that he didn’t win, just a Buzz Rickson shirt with USMC, on it, a fashion item and a fairly naff one at that, but the other poster is making a big deal out of it. I’ve spent 2 or 3 USA holidays walking around in an M65 jacket (no insignia) and I never got attacked by Vietnam vets once, even when I went to Arlington Cemetry.

I'm all for people wearing whatever they fancy, bar, I suppose, full SS regalia, which might look a tad eccentric.  As for old Buzz Rickson, well, as I said above, I never did quite get it.  But that's just me.  Buzz is - what shall we say? - part of that enjoyable, rather fascinating Japanese way of doing things (including - let's not make any bones about this - business: AUS will know more, not to mention our Gibson).  That particular poster was a Rickson addict way back - it was how he fancied spending his cash and, aside from the fact he once suggested on that dubious forum of theirs that I didn't exist except in the fevered imagination of Frosty Mellor, I still have quite affectionate feelings toward him.

One time when I met Chris he said he went to the Scene Club in Ham Yard so a real possibility, that Mickey chap would have stuck out in any crowd I’d imagine, as mentioned before, Chris was pissed off Cathy McGowan hadn’t selected him to go on RSG from the Scene club crowd!

It was a Buzz Lightyear - so more expensive than bespoke.
