The Mod Generation

The Society of Cool!

Just thought that I'd start this topic as nobody has [bothered?] to start it yet!

I was in one of my local charity shops today and bought these women's basket-weave, tassel loafers for only $8.50 AUD! Absolutely brill, to say the least! ;-) Now I can wear them with my new trousers from Sportscraft (see link below) and my Ben Sherman boating blazers! They were made by Australian shoe manufacturer Sandler, as part of their "Easy Steps" collection which still exists today. I think these shoes were an absolute find and would make excellent work and leisure (by that I mean dancing) shoes!

I also picked up two of my lay-aways. The first being two pairs of capris trousers - one pair in black and another in navy. Don't let the "capri" style fool you. They actually look like full-length trouser on me. I paid $105 AUD for each pair, instead of $150.

The second lay-away I picked up today was this lovely dress from Target that I purchased on sale a couple of months ago!

Happy shopping my Mod brothers and sisters! Look forward to reading and seeing what you've bought!

Just bought another vinyl to add to my growing collection. The latest purchase is 'The Walk' by Jimmy McCracklin on Checker. Its a song I have loved for years, ever since they played it in the Glasgow Scene Cub in 81/82.

Original Everoak crash Helmet! And f*** it im wearing it! Penalty points comin my way......:-)

Never mind. Looks fantastic, JP!

My mum had one of those!

Don't mate lol You'll likely get nicked for impersonating a scoutmaster from Esher going on a weekend away with the cubs lol  They were called peanut hats or Nerd Lids  in the 60's cos the people who wore em were nuts lol. they made em illegal on grounds of mod decency lol

yer right Webster me dad tried to get me to wear one, Wanted me to be safe bless him, I sed fk off, aint gerrin me a free pass for membership in the wassacks club me duck

 

DEXY's One Day I'm Going To Soar, new cd just released, first couple of listens, absolutely superb! 

 

On the strength of the first impressions also just bought tickets to see them in Edinburgh in September.......dont think they will be playing 'Breakin Down the walls of heartache', but you never no......Mick Talbot is also back on board.

Just gonna get that myself. Last time I saw Dexy's was early eighties at the Canterbury odeon. Don't Stand Me Down imho is a superb album and always reminds me of a time when I was rebuilding my 150 super in about 1985.  

I'd be shouting for 'There There My Dear'! Enjoy the gig.

Bought a pair of white levi 501's for £9 on ebay, couldnt believe it, there a perfect fit and in good nick too!... However i have no idea what shirt or 'torso apparel' to wear with them! any suggestions?

If I was your age I´d wear it with a boating blazer. Actually, I´d do it even at my age,LOL!
