I was wondering, does anyone know if it's still possible to get heels with the strip of metal across the corner (think segs) like you used to see back in the day? I love the sound of segs on…Read More

Just wondered what a Mod is meant to do when his ears are ready to break clean off with the cold and his scalp feels like a sheet of ice? Wear a hat? I'm certainly not wearing one of those ridiculous…Read More

I was having a discussion the other day about Merc clothing and the sometimes poor reviews it receives on these forums. I myself own a Merc Hemmingway jacket, and I think it's pretty decent. My…Read More

Ross White replied to Cluekid's discussion 'Highest level of modness (super saiyan)'"Haha this question made me smile, the idea that someone could attain such Modness that there are "none more Mod" (as in Spinal Tap's 'none more black' line).

Ross White replied to Peter Lawson's discussion 'Knitted Ties'"I'd be up for one of them! Sounds like a good price too, some of the prices mooted by these shops are a joke!"
Graham C replied to Ross White's discussion 'Tootal scarves and their usage'"Agree with you and it's so simple but effective, cheers for that."
Red Steve replied to Ross White's discussion 'Tootal scarves and their usage'"No problem Ross, glad you found it useful. I think there are a couple of other ways you can tie a silk scarf but for me this always looks the best."
Ross White replied to Ross White's discussion 'Tootal scarves and their usage'"Yeah that's usually how I tie mine, I figured it out after the knot kept slipping out! Good video though and it led me onto loads of others (as is the way with YouTube!) Cheers."
Red Steve replied to Ross White's discussion 'Tootal scarves and their usage'"I love a silk scarf, but find that they go better without a collar, be it a polo or normal shirt. Because of the material they dont hold their shape too well as a thicker woollen scarf would. When I've tried to wear one with a collar the scarf…"
Graham C replied to Ross White's discussion 'Tootal scarves and their usage'"I left a beautiful thick heavy red and gold Tootal my dad gave me in a pub in Liverpool in 1980 when up there to see The Jam, did anyone pick it up?"
Ross White replied to Ross White's discussion 'Tootal scarves and their usage'"Since I posted this thread I've bought a few scarves, including 2 for a fiver at Kelso rally last year!

Chris replied to Ross White's discussion 'Tootal scarves and their usage'"Used to be able to pick em up fairly cheap on ebay, although, i have noticed that they are fetching good prices now.

Graham C replied to Ross White's discussion 'Tootal scarves and their usage'"Haha! But then I used to wear them as we'll....."
Chris replied to Ross White's discussion 'Tootal scarves and their usage'" I DO PREFER TOOTAL OR SAMMY SCARVES, PLENTY OF EM ON EBAY MATEY, ONE THING I DO FIND A TAD ANNOYING IS WHEN PEOPLE SAY '' NICE CRAVAT MATE !''

Jordan said… Just incase you dont see the my reply,
i have never owned a brutus trimfit, however, from what i have read i would say they were very simlar. They are both poly cotton and slim fitting. However i think britac shirts have much nicer patterns and the red one is my favourite and it looks even better in person! The colars are great on the britac shirts, large, but not to large and they have a really nice roll to them.Hope this helps.

- Hi Ross, my bruv moved from sunny glasgow to quaint Penicuik, he drives a Vespa Piaggio Liberty, but would not know what a Mod was if I belted him in the face. He also drives a big bright orange RAC van.
I have been thru a few times on my Vespa PX 200.
Just thought I would drop a line.
cheers mate
