I like that shirt on the right. Too old to pull it off now....boo.

That's an example of Weller in his 80s style councillor prime: talking of his eclectic palate and sporting it at the same time. Bold colour schemes and a definitive 80s silhouette. Happy days!Y'know, I'm baffled, always have been, about the adulation Weller receives(d). I've never found him, his music, or anything he says interesting.
And that video hasn't changed that.
I just don't see it, I just see a bloke trying to be enigmatic, probably his idea of kool but just coming across as awkward. Its a common pose amongst rock stars to be fair.That's an example of Weller in his 80s style councillor prime: talking of his eclectic palate and sporting it at the same time.

On that I agree. The Jam had a few noteworthy songs and I guess he performs well live. Then again, so did my dog, Jack!Y'know, I'm baffled, always have been, about the adulation Weller receives(d). I've never found him, his music, or anything he says interesting.

Very much the 80s silhouette. I like it, it evokes my earnest youth.I just don't see it, I just see a bloke trying to be enigmatic, probably his idea of kool but just coming across as awkward. Its a common pose amongst rock stars to be fair.
His clothes are very much of their time, boxy suit &c...
In the context of the quote: yes, Weller hasn't come across well in interviews in the main. TSC's film Jerusalem was embarrassing.On that I agree. The Jam had a few noteworthy songs and I guess he performs well live. Then again, so did my dog, Jack!

I think that he's being a bit tongue-in-cheek, so as to emphasise how helpless we apparently are nowadays, in comparison to what we used to be able to do for ourselves.Christ, what a moron. And this is a menswear writer, if you please.
Doesn't sound like tongue in cheek at all. In fact he goes on to project his own lifestyle onto the rest of us: we all throw away our stuff, we all throw away spare buttoms etc. A lot of these sartorial so-called journalists do it.I think that he's being a bit tongue-in-cheek, so as to emphasise how helpless we apparently are nowadays, in comparison to what we used to be able to do for ourselves.
Hmmm... I think that, in this day and age of disposable clothing, that *is* what most people do. I don't doubt that the vast majority of people (fxh excepted) have never darned a sock or knit up a hole in a jumper (or sweater, if you prefer).In fact he goes on to project his own lifestyle onto the rest of us: we all throw away our stuff, we all throw away spare buttoms etc.
No, no, no, Journeyman, the proper response to Untermensch would be something like:Hmmm... I think that, in this day and age of disposable clothing, that *is* what most people do.

Nowadays, they simply can't be bothered. Throw it away and get another one. Or perhaps wear it around home, rather than wearing it out somewhere.
I stitch up holes in my socks and jumpers. I wouldn't call it darning, more of the squashed beetle school of sewing. But yeah, most people would just chuck stuff now.Hmmm...

Crest. Jury is still out, but it seems to be working more than regular.Really?? Which brand?.
You’ll end up a whiteboyReally?? Which brand?
Speaking of cosmetics,. I been using a charcoal facial mask recently, let's see what happens.

Full disclosure: I’m a bit ocd about teeth bleaching. I apply strips fairly regularly.[/QUOTE]
No, no, no, Journeyman, the proper response to Untermensch would be something like:
Untermensch, what's wrong with you you stupid motherfucker? on his blog and on both forums: ask andy and styfo DW told everyone that he has to sell his watch to fund his life incl. bespoke orders, special cloth runs, etc. later on he had to reveal that he blew Fok, who is bloody rich.just in case you missed this part in DW's story, just shut the fuck up, you bloody asshole.I really can't remember a guy, who is more tiresome than you, good lord.
paging ThruthCharcoal toothpaste may not be a dumb hipster fad. I’m trying a tube and it seems to be whitening my teeth more than the usual stuff.
Most people imagine it works. Toothpaste is not the best vehicle for whitening. Not enough contact time.paging Thruth
Crest whitening strips from the supermarket. I pop a couple of strips on about once a week while I am at the gym (since I don't need to talk to anyone while there).Really? I have always found this fascinating about the Americans. How regular? What strips...
Through the M65 jacket.How tf did the safari jacket make a comeback amongst the iGent set?

A great look if you can pull it off:I’ve seen them cheaper here. But boy are they heavy and useless.
It a vintage store/thrift shop off Westheimer by Le Labo, I cannot remember the name of the store. I was in Houston for Mother's Day weekend. The rain put a damp on many of our activities.Looks good while riding an actual motorcycle. Otherwise a basic cafe racer jacket is a much better proposition for the rest of us.
What shop was that, Pauly Chase? Please tell me you weren’t in town for the needfest at the GRB.
A mucca of mine bought one back in 1989/90. It didn't suit him as he was just another 18/19/20 year old kid and he was definitely no punk, Lord of Flatbush or The Wild One. He took some flak which was a bit sad, especially as his sister committed suicide a couple of months later after being ditched by her boyfriend and doused herself in petrol and lit a match. I often wonder what happened to him as he has no discernible LinkedIn or social media presence. He took a degree in Criminology we scoffed at, but not now, I do hope he's done well and had his share of adventure:Looks good while riding an actual motorcycle.
