Like FLC has ever been in Holland and Barrett. He meant his suit with HP stains down the front from his bacon and sausage breakfast buttie.Originally posted by stek View PostHolland and Barrett do suits?Comment

Was in London over the weekend and, I'll admit it, I enjoy shopping and used to enjoy popping over once a year because you could get pretty good stuff and there was a variety. Seems that way no longer but did pick up some nice shirts from Penguin (I like them because it makes me look geeky yet strangely fashionable) and the rest was non-standard like a beautiful Paisley silk shirt and a Gabbachi vintage cord shirt from a small mod outfit who also measured me up for a really rather spiffing 3 piece purple mohair suit which will match one of the new pairs of DMs I also picked up. Also bought 2 packets of stick on mustaches for some strange reason
(also the trip involved being filmed by the BBC at a small venue/party with members of The Boys and Hollywood Brats but I was wearing Desigual that evening...)
I forgot, I do have a nice coat from Nicole Farhi which was priced at 2 grand but picked it up in the sales for 700, actually I have quite a few coats but hardly wear them tending more to just jackets. Current faves are a Paul Smith bomber jacket and a Pepe one along with a very resilient Swiss thingy...Last edited by darmstadt; 17 November 2015, 19:16.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
