More NEW BITS, via This is Clobbered once again.

K-Way is a new brand to me. It specialises in retro cagoules. The USP is that the zip is at the centre of the design.

Apparently they are all the rage amongst the kids.

I still count, right?

This reminds me of the Nike cagoule craze back at school in the early days of hip hop. Some bastard nicked mine from the cloakroom. It was returned a few months later with fag burns.

I bloody hated school, tbh.

But here I am, still living out those early electro fantasies, still got it.

Just.

This look needs a pair of ski goggles btw to complete it. This was the style back in ‘84, and I see no reason not to ponce it up once again.

I actually bought a pair of ski goggles from Lidl last week.

No shit.

The Postman Delivers:

Rubber. BLACK rubber.

And so we have a Swedish Stutterheim rain mac. So what if the ebay listing was under FETISH?

It’s a dirty job, but someone’s got to do it, etc.

There’s a shopping story behind this, involving R. The last shopping story involving R was centred around buying underpants in the West End.

This time we found ourselves along Ken High Street, doing the charity shop run. You always get a better class of charity shop hauls on this side of town, compared to say, erm, Streatham.

And there it was, staring me right in the face: a magnificent green Stutterheim mac.

“Go on, try it on”

I needed no encouragement from R.

The size ever so slightly put me off; the price tag more so.

A quick online shifty in the shop, and the £150 wasn’t that outrageous. But I had to let it go.

The clincher was that it looks like a fisherman’s mac. I live in a bloody fishing village. I couldn’t get away with that.

“Go on, YOU try it on”

…I told R. It suited him better tbh.

He umm-ed and ahh-ed and attempted to text B to see if she was cool with this.

JUST BLOODY BUY IT.

And so he did.

“You can always shift it on ebay”

…I reasoned.

A couple of hours later and I was back in the flat, searching for a Stutterheim black mac.

BINGO.

A week later and it arrived.

R and I are the Rubber Twins around Town. We look like we are heading out together for a specialist party.

A pair of G Force winkle pickers.

Sharp, in every sense. So what if they are one size too big for me? This is only the second pair of G Force originals that I’ve seen appear online.

My main memory from the old Hockey shop back in the early 80’s wasn’t the knitwear; it was the front display of shoes similar to these.

I even bought a pair as a Boy About Town around ‘83. They were as Cool as Fuck then as they are now.

The pair that turned up this week must be over forty years old. The quality of the leather has served them well.

They’ve still got many more years worth of wear left in them. Chuff knows when I will get the chance, but y’know - that’s not the point, is it?

The chase is always better than the kill.

BUY NOW.

Some more G Force clobber.

Or a denim waistcoat - cream, natch - in the traditional rough and ready G Force street style.

The label dates it from anytime between 1994 - 2004. It’s in bloody good nick as well.

A deal had to be done with the seller. I think he got the better of me, but y’know - BUY NOW whilst these vintage Nottingham retro pieces are still around.

That’s how I justify it, anyway.

It’s gone straight in the G Force section of the wardrobe.

Whaddya mean your non-OCD wardrobe organisation isn’t themed?

I doubt if I will wear it until mid-summer. Or even not at all. But that’s not really the point, is it?

Jase Wears G Force, etc.

New Bits! A lovely pair of Moscot Lemtosh, all the way from NYC.

Another find via the excellent Clobbered TV.

Hype the YT Channel, and you too could blow your monthly salary on New Bits recommendations 🍋🍋
