I would probably put them in the same category. At least, in the modern incarnations. It really is sad. I have seen some great looking vintage Botany 500 on the 'Bay. Never seems to be in my size.

Heh. Yeah, I have come across a few pairs, usually in "kelly" green or a nice piss yellow. Dreadful.  About eight or so years ago a friend of mine purchased a Haggar Seersucker jacket from a thrift store. I kept raving about this Miles at Newport photo so he decided that I wanted that jacket. Needless to say it was heinous. Giant sleeves, Poly/Cotton, and the blue stripe was more of a teal. Talk about "Eeee!!"

Bless you, Look. I love looking through Ebony mags from this period. Great ads, too.

It's pictures like that that have influenced why I have moved away from 'mod' towards ivy

Eastwood apparently modelled his look and acting style on McQueen in Bullitt. I appreciate his efforts, and applaud his taste, but feel that Clint sadly peeked in the 70s, a decade of sartorial ugliness. He will forever have the whiff of that hairy flairy era about him, even when sporting a tweed jacket and repp tie. His commitment to jazz and the clear intelligence that runs through much of his work, certainly as a director, makes him that rare thing - a genuinely interesting, individual talent. Yeh but I agree - that barnet is a shocker.
