One should think so, Clem, but "too much of a good thing..." and all...

My hometown´s just perfect; the only mod among 600.000 people; you can´t get more individual than that :-))

(Certainly just trying to console myself...)

You must have it pretty good at the second hand stores. :)

We had good ones when I was a teenager, used to get (or nick ?!) my first three button jackets and Small Faces records there. But then, we were at least 5, up to sometimes 8 mods in Essen (Wow! Millions like us!). Don´t bother looking these days, it´s all hippie stuff now, suede frayed jackets (is that the correct term!?) and stuff. Saw a few guys in Ben Sherman polos recently, so I guess a sale must be on somewhere in the city!

Yup, Ben Sherman is pretty easy to find here, as is penguin. I must have half a dozen from thrift shops and a ton of penguin.

Penguin´s not arrived here yet. Good for me; I get them online and again I´m the only one sporting them here! Fred Perry´s too popular for my taste though, at the moment! And Desert boots.

Yeah it's the opposite here I think. I bought three Fred's at Marshall's which is tj maxxs sister store a couple months back but they haven't any now, just penguin... And lots of penguin, button ups, polos of all styles and shorts too, and tshirts also haha!

I only just discovered Penguin last year, so it´s a nice change from the Fred´s.

I'm at Nordstrom rack right now, original penguin hog heaven. They have a lot of fun styles, of course the earl is the classic but I dig the heritage slim fit line. Nice cut and not too slim. ;)

I thought Canterbury was nice? Not far from London and even Brighton.

It is Graeme, just a pain in the ar$e to drive around now with all the council road schemes bringing the City to a stand still!!
