What a lot of people consider 'Mod' is how they see themselves fitting into a group that has a history of style, that's great but so much of how people think of mod…"

John an original modernist said… Hi Derek I bought some trees for my Loake's.. It took a fair bit of adjusting and stretching but they are so good now I can't believe it. Like I mentioned I have had them for about 25years now so I am really attached to them.
