Question for all the original Mods on this forum. Many times, the 'death' of Mod is discussed and people have varying opinions on whether it died, when it may have died, etc. However, I'm curious…Read More

"Bobby, agreed on the sideburns. Unfortunately, I think a lot of people are going to follow suit thanks to that sideburn look. I'm not a fan of the super-long sides.... they start getting into skinhead girl fringe territory!"
"I actually like that lapel size for a double-breasted look, especially with the peak style. However, I would not match my tie with my pocket square that exact, unless I was in a wedding. And the hand tattoos... never a fan of tattoos in general."

- Thought I'd mention in case you or someone you know is interested... Was at Marshall's in emeryville today and they have some new bs stuff in stock. Some vneck sweaters and a couple of the sleeveless ones (like in the thread) plus some gingham long sleeve shirts, all for pretty cheap. Not exactly my cup of tea but I thought I'd let ya know man.
Hope it all goes well with ya!

Hi Carlos,
Just had a look at your Mod male blog page and very good it is. I've also added it to my Facebook page.
All the best,
Gordon, Liverpool.

- Nice little shop right? I knew Sean and his brother David back in the day in Marin. I've been to the shop twice but Sean wasn't there either time.
So what type of happenings have you been up to in Oakland lately. With work I tend to keep it pretty chill during the week but I'm looking for more fun things to do in the weekend besides just the usual bars.
Anyway, have a great week!

Chad Worsley said… Sorry to post this on here and not your blog page, but, your blog page is really brilliant! the posts you put on there keep me entertained and informed, I have picked up many styles of clothes and ways of wearing them, as well as fun and useful facts such as the reason why you have to keep the bottom button undone 99% of the time. You also got me into The Style Council and made me realise that they're rather quite a good band in their own respect, as well as getting me to re-asses Art Gallery brand and possibly buy the Marriott Cardigan...The list goes on, I just thought I should say thanks for the good work and keep it up, it's bleeding brilliant (as well as rather interesting and informative!)
Chad :D
