Is it a requirement to dress like that if you're a mod?

Taking the avatar names to a whole new level.

Nah, I just happen to be a bit special.

nevermind what those dafty's thinks Scuzi, it looks awesome. i can only echo the OP, i wish more people dressed in 30's/40's style. much better imo and im only 18

trillbies = no however. just a annoying little scene kid thing.

Im going to get a pair of braces.

Will look like a freek at work but they look amazing.

Strangely, was talking about them at work today and decided they are worn to "Power Dress".

It is a shame the 1940's clothing would not also bring back some of the 1940's morals.

Scuzi, what do you mean by Button on braces, I thought they all had clips?

If I could pull off a suit without looking like a normal tubby bloke in a suit I would

The 60's Italian suits I always liked with the small collars and smart straight lines.

If anybody knows where I can get some.....

Those oversized trousers look awesome, I need a pair now. Where can I purchase such garments?

Any tailor worth his salt will be able to make you a pair from scratch. I don't think many places if anywhere will do them off the peg.

I just realised that I dress in a 1940s style, although that's because I'm now 90 and I feel that my life reached its peak in the early 1940s. Change scares me

So that was you I seen cruising past in the Studebaker with Bing Crosby blaring out of your retrofitted wireless?

Hello sailor!

Braces with clips are a faux pas. I thoroughly recommend button-on braces. The look much better! (Excuse the creased shirt, it had been a long day)

You look like an 80's Stockmarket trader.

I leave that to the girlfriend. EYYYYYYYY!!

The 80's was a magical decade, it's only right that some of us should keep it living today.

Never said it was a bad thing....just make sure you see a Psychiatrist when you start listening to a lot of Phil Collins, and keep a nail gun in your kitchen cupboard.
