"The scene in Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti is rather casual --and very small.  I think everybody owns at least one suit, but just isn't all that likely to wear it out.  I still don't know enough about the Lansing area. Personally, I'm…"

"Dessert Boots Parka and a suit jacket is a must for me,  with shirt and jeans (if on the scooter)  - never had Fred perry or Pringle as skinheads always had them on in my day.."

"Not sure I've seen it but I've seen pictures of a few weird looking scoots lately. For my money, Vespas are a bit to square these days, if you know what I mean. Give me 60s GS styling any day"

"To be fair she has a point. have you seen the rubbish they are selling in Top Shop/Man, H&M, Republic, River Island, Next and the rest?  "

"Deciding to be a mod just doesn't sound right to me. I found out I was a stylist in the 1970s and this was probably influenced by the fact that I'm the youngest of 4 kids who were all into the scene in the 60s."

"Do whatever you want dude. Personally I don't like the Weller cut but doing what you want is what this game is all about. I don't have hair anymore so it's a No1 all over for me, but if I did, it would be a short back and sides (left…"

"You say that Richard but I use the Syleforum.net quite a bit and some of the yanks on there are bloody horrendous. Much of their fashion sense is on pair with the Australians ... complete with mullet. "
