From my 34+ years getting inked (started before I was l old enough to get one legally) tatts have always been on a revolving pattern. All black is in vouge, Japanese is out of favour, couple years on all black is out everyone is getting Japanese, same with Americana or flash and so on.... same flash sheets in every parlour.... The amount of times I've been in the chair when some young lad walks in and asks for a sleeve.. what do you want asks the artist, I dunno just a sleeve.... The guy who did a majority of my work (not the best /detailed work but a genuine old school biker (( patched)) bloke ) used to have a rule , if someone came in and asked for a tattoo on what he called public skin : face/hands/neck he'd tell em to f**k off and come back when they'd earned it as in getting enough ink in less visible parts. It was his way of stopping youngsters making bad life decisions, nowadays people seem to start on their hands and necks to appear more inked than they actually are! Bloody kids (old man shakes fist at sky.....)

Holy Shit! Glad they caught the guy.

🤣

Bypassing Brum....

Ain't we all just a bunch of niche weirdo's

I have 3 from Bronson. They are fine.

Jacket fit is fine mate

I have a great Beams Plus one

I've just bought a brand new VW Tiguan, after years driving Mercs. My new job has me doing a lot of miles , including an150+ drive twice a week. I get OOs point but needed something a bit more upright and comfortable than sporty saloons. Add in I got stuck in a tiny Norfolk town due to flooding in my last merc, it was enough to convince me the SUV was the best option. It has semi automated driving as well, so long motorway or stop start traffic, I just let it do its thing. Takes some getting used to but works well.

Yes Polo SS. Uk 7.5 in these, I'm a 7.5 or 8 in Redwing & Vans

@indigoeagle I'm wearing the JP market one , purchased from SOAS. I love them and keep meaning to buy another pair. If you buy the UK Sanders chukka size up a half size from these.

Rare night out without the little one Kamakura madras @Duke Mantee Resolute Sanders Wife on the camera, she's had a wine or 2

@Alec Leamas Kamakura Vintage are great choice if you want to tuck them in, the button number/placement are designed to be tucked. Gitman are a good choice as they can be worn either tucked or not and have a nice collar roll. As @indigoeagle said Beams + are a very, very good option for button downs and again can be worn either way. Sizing is consistent (more so than the rest of the B+ range). I own at least 7 Beams plus button downs. I've looked at far east, but GV , Kamakura and Beams fit the bill so well I've never needed to branch out. Yet to try, but John Simmons also has OCBD nailed down for UK shoppers.

Wow!

I gave up on short boxy sweats as they always end up riding up and feeling uncomfortable. All my sweats are now from Good Measure in the UK, they fit longer. https://www.goodmeasure.co.uk/collections/good-measure-m-21-sweatshirts?srsltid=AfmBOop7xnIJzj8sm73mCsfrl6HrzeMjLAQR3tRHQoWzjZqW7Fxv7fGw

@chicote you had me hooked till I saw cinnamon. Cinnamon ruins all foods it comes in contact with 😜

I have only ever seen the 107 in the standard denim.

I came late to DB, about 2014. It always felt a little cliquey for me and almost passive aggressive if you weren't in the clique or subscribed to a certain style/POV. I certainly never found it as useful for knowledge as sufficient for those very reasons. It was just another place to log in for denim related browsing. Sufu, even 10-13 years ago when it was still a bit volatile was always a better forum in my experience.

Depending on price point, grenson lower budget. Crockett and Jones higher budget

Look great, even without the flatbox toe they still look less bulbous than the previous beckman which always put me off.

@Double 0 Soul glad to see you back. Hope all is well with the family. This place has been missing that northern influence

I wouldn't call them premium but Bronson ts, the loopwheel tubular and athletic , have good necks a decent fit and are typically a bit longer than my MiJ ts.

Do not spill it on those trousers mate!

Do TCB jackets come up small? Looking at their 60s trucker and the chest measurements look small for a 40 but the shoulder looks about right. Right now it's a toss up between this or WAREHOUSE 60s (long) or Yamane Industries No2 type 3
