I currently got a €1.39 bid on eBay with about a day to go on a vintage leather jacket. Too good to be true? Probably but it’s shrapnel in my pockets that I’m willing to gamble. If you have money to spare with three digits preceding the decimal point then check out these leather lovelies…

Superdry Blackwatch L65 jacket: €385

HUMöR. A Danish label whose spectrum within their latest collection is a “pyrotechnic display of happy, strong colours in off-beat combinations”. Drawing inspiration from electronic music and taking cues from the Dj culture within some of the major European cities, HUMöR sample, tweek and mix threads into the cool you see before you.

I was nodding off intermittently yesterday evening while watching the eternally awesome Ghostbusters (when i pressed the info button I was surprised to see that its already 25 years old so are they making a new one or wha’?!). Anyway, while drifting in and out I awoke to this ad and thought I slept through the flick and Tarrant On TV or something was on but no, this was an ad break golden moment. Look for the slogan super-imposed at the very end.
I’m off to the Michael Jackson exhibition in Newbridge in a few. If it’s not too packed and your allowed take photees I’ll post em’ up later. Band jackets, a trend carrying through from last year… some people think Sgt. Peppers, I think Michael.
Note: Chris Brown smiley photo was taken before he allegedly bet Rihanna around the gaf.
The quest for magic fancy pants continues. I loved the way when I was a kid I had things like Bart Simpson, Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, skidmarks and footballs on my underwear. However you get older and think classy Dolce & Gabanna and nice Calvin Kleins are what the object of your affection wants to see. Well do you know what I think? FUCK THEM. Ginch Gonsh are right with me in the war against boring, humdrum and ordinary underwear. Their tagline is “Regardless of your inches, we cover you in our Ginches!” That could refer to waist size, I dunno. And I’m not just talking to the dudes, they do a women’s line to. The post I did a while back on Ed Hardy trunks didn’t seem to sway all the laydeez because they were apparently too loud but loud can also be sexy and alluring goddamnit. Just bear with me a second while I do an experiment, ok girls…click on this little button and visualize the bedroom scenario, close your eyes and think of your bloke wearing one of the above. Eh? Eh? Ooooh yes, that’s how the magic happens.
The days are actually getting nicer thank jeebus so while it’s not time just yet to break out the Havaianas and Birkenstocks I think it’s managable to rock the shorts without getting pneumonia. The essential thing here for the boys are the tuxedo/suit jackets and jersey polos. All prices are approximate conversions to yuros.
