About Me:

For me its all about smart gear that pushes the boundary a little. As for music, anything blues floats my boat with some soul, ska, and rock and roll added for good measure. I also play guitar.

Top 5 tunes at the moment:

Boom Boom - Dr. Feelgood Scratch My Back - Slim Harpo Walking the Dog - The Rolling Stones So They Say - The Strypes Get Ready - The Temptations Louie Louie - Toots & the Maytals

Vespa, Lambretta or other?

Lambretta if I had one

Found this parka for a quid in charity shop, so used it for my college art project. i;m not a fan of parkas as I find them too cliche, worn by 80% of girls under 20, and they don't carry that Mod smartness. However it made an interesting outcome for my project which investigated post-war British influcne on 21st century culture. It was made from some pairs of old jeans bleached white for the background. The denim was left blue and highlighted with painted-on bleach for the landscape of the Shard, London, whilst the arrows were made of bleached-white denim painted with red ink. All done myself and sown on by hand!

Smart-casual look using cardigan instead of a jacket/blazer. Light blue shirt and matching shocks for contrast. Also is a dimante tie pin

I had a bit of a mod thing here

"Brilliant look!"

Liam H replied to Najib Adams's item Is there a meaning for the roundel and the colours of the in the roundel?

"The roundel is very cliche and you get lots of used-to-be mods with their Fred Perry's unbuttoned, jeans, desert boots, and some parka, with the roundel on, and it does have a sense of superficiality to it. However, I often wear a small pin badge on…"

Liam H replied to Phil Thomsen's item My Dress of the day!

" Dodgy attempt of mine at some form of pose, so please excuse it. Mac, and orange polo and snazzy socks from Next. Loafers from Clarks. Got the 8-piece 'Baker boy' hat off Amazon. Adds a French look but also a nod to Victorian/Edwardian London (whi…"

Liam H replied to Joel's item Any younger mods here?

"I'm 18, from Canvey Island, Essex."

Liam H replied to Phil Thomsen's item My Dress of the day!

"What I mean is that nowadays a tailored suit is a real luxury item, and that off-the-shelf is how you get them, but back then if you went to buy a suit you would have it made up."

Liam H replied to Phil Thomsen's item My Dress of the day!

"Cheers I may well do. Considering price of tailor-made suits these days compared to their availability back in the day, I prefer to to alter an off the shelf suit. I may get several other features done in time."

Liam H replied to Phil Thomsen's item My Dress of the day!

"I know this is what was done from time to time, and was my original intention, but the tailor did them a little wider than I expected so they be a bit too 'dominant' if I did - as Chris says the slits weren't often quite as wide. Thanks a lot guys"

Liam H replied to Phil Thomsen's item My Dress of the day!

"Had a christmas ball, black tie but i decided to ditch the tux for a snazzed up suit. The suit was from Merc but got it off Atom Retro for 1/3rd the price. Had the tailor bring it in a little and add the triangle notches to trouser bottoms. Pocket s…"

Liam H replied to A-Northern-Soul's item Hair/Hairdressing.

"I've heard lots of accounts of the first Mods wearing Italian 'bumfreezer' suits yet having 'Tony Curtis' hairstyles (the teddy boy quiff, although perhaps not with sideburns or a duck tail) from around '58-'60. Of course, when you look at the mid 6…"

Liam H replied to Phil Thomsen's item My Dress of the day!

"I did indeed thanks, and that is a very good suggestion, something to balance out the orange/red. If I had loafers on then socks could've been good too."

Wore this for a local gig, saw the 45s (a Mod R&B band). Shirt is from a pretty detestable place best not mentioned, but it adds a really nice splash of 'swinging sixties' to the suit. Sunglasses fr…"

Liam H commented on Matt Benford's article Being a POOR MOD

"Mod was a subculture that came about from the lower classes as material wealth became more accessible after the war. In other words, you could buy classier clothes at a much cheaper price. If you wear the clothes with care and attention, in unison t…"
