"I could only view the short version of the program, looks as if they went to the Brighton museum - which has an interesting little exhibition of British clothing/fashions from the past."

"Original Mod was anti establishment, so accepting a gong runs contrary to that ethos. Wiggins is now mainstream and back in the 60's once that happened you went from being "in" to being "out". The real point is that Mod was…"

Well said Mike. Good to see a 60s Mod stand up.

My scooter was a Hercules, Mike, long gone,though. No Italian engineering, but it was different, and that´s what mod´s about, right? The Zündapp rs 50 you certainly have in mind actually almost looked like a Lambretta.

Found two excellent menswear items today.

A Ben Sherman Shirt with a Tab Collar, a Mod style which is much sought after.Size 16 Pale Yellow.

Also a 1960's Wool and Mohair Car Coat. It's double breasted with a high collar.

Both are in excellent condition.Unfortunately the Shirt and Car Coat are too small for me.

So I've posted a photo of the shirt on my Facebook page "The Detroit Locker" along with a selection from other classic Mod and Ivy League menswear and accesories I'm selling.

Hi Mike. Cheers for the comments re the scooter. Its really nice and I get great buzz from jumping around on it especially during the nice weather. I think most people think of the GS as being a bit more iconic to the Mod scene and maybe that is why they have always been more sought after than the Sportique, which is also a lovely looking scoot. It was a good bit nippier than the Sportique as well so maybe that was another reason. They are all tough to get a hold of now and you will pay a lot of money for a good condition GS or Sportique.
