Clobber

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

On reflection, maybe you’re right about the length of Weller’s trousers. I need to get with the times.

Lads, I do have a photo of me and Weller on my office wall so you’re not too far out really!

The first thing he does when you meet him is check your shoes. 
 

If you see photos of PW in the late noughties he had actually let himself go a bit then both in terms of body shape and his clobber. But thankfully he sobered up in 2010 and has looked good ever since. He’s also a nicer person, very warm and interested in what you do in life. I’m really glad I met him. 
 

I wish he would stop copying my clobber though - I see he wore a Brooks Brothers polo shirt after me mentioning it on here the other day 😉😂

Perhaps you do something to him.

Nice polo shirt. I see all the usual brands ( Lacoste, Gant, Fred Perry, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein etc etc. ) on sale in most places but I can’t recall seeing a “ Brooks Brothers “  polo shirt on sale. As you can imagine I have quite an extensive collection of polo shirts. I like them a lot. They’re smart/casual and very comfortable.

Speaking of shoes, year ago I spotted a pair of Roberto Cavalli champagne suede Chelsea boots, the ones with the elasticated sides. A mere snip at £75, down from about £300. They were perfect apart from a small biro mark about 10mm long near the sole on one boot. That’s why they were in TKMaxx.

When  I got them home I could get them on ok but I couldn’t get them off again. They fitted so well and with the elastic being new I wasn’t strong enough. Mrs Shoelaces had to drag them off for me ! Now any time I go out wearing them I have to be sure she’ll be home when I get back so she can help me off with them !

@Tyrone Shoelaces it’s not everyone’s wife who will happily pull them off at the end of the night mate. Hat’s off to you.

I imagine as time has passed this has become a quicker and quicker job for her.

I knew that would be a likely response. That’s why I said “ help me off with them “.

Sorry Tyrone, you opened that door and you're just going to have to go through it. No turning back from that.

Just bought some Adidas Spezial Blackburn. Very nice they are too.

I've never been a fan of Samba, to flat for me, but I did consider a pair of these, but at £200 right now, I've decided against them.

I do wonder where Gary Aspen got the colour scheme from, I'm sure its based on something relevant to Blackburn, maybe the Night Safe Project itself, but I'm not sure.

 

Back on sale now as part of the decade of Spezial series. £100

What a time to have zero bucks in your account.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I never buy suede trainers. Not in this climate.

Ordered a pair last night after a few tipples.......

I'm not a big fan of Adidas Spezial to be honest, to many about, I may just keep them in the box with these:

 

Did anyone buy a pair of these back in the day? Adidas Darwen? Never met anyone who got a pair.

No, never bought any of those, pretty ugly looking things to be fair! I noticed some Adidas Garwen on sale as part of the recent Spezial drop. I’ve never seen them before, thought it was a typo! 
 

as for the Blackburn ones. Just going to wear them on Rovers when the sun is out. So twice a year in September and May!

Got this coming tomorrow. I'd have bought the proper shirt but it has a Venky's logo.

I still reckon the 1965 BRFCS ones from Ribero are the best.

That is honestly the best Rovers shirt I've ever had.

I’ve had 3 of those over the years. I had one framed and I’ve worn the other two. One here, one in Spain.

I’ve got one of those. They’re a really nice shirt and excellent quality.

Decent clobber? Only 7 left - come on chaps, see my For Sale thread 🤞

Anyone else have a pair of these beauties?

With the weather in Greater Manchester ? How long would they stay like that. Nice though.

Bizarrely mine are still white as and I've had them since I was 19. Not sure how I managed that especially considering some of the states I used to get myself into.

Still got em, maybe bust them out next time I've got a gig.

They are definitely “ gig “ shoes.

I had a pair back in the day (circa 78-80) but then again so did just about everyone my age. 
No offence mate but unless I was playing in a Jam tribute band I wouldn’t wear them now. 😉

I reckon I can get away with it. Hardly anyone knows who the Jam are here. Fucking heathens.
