Its cos it has history behind it. Nowadays i wear my dads old levi’s jacket, its tatty as fuck, has buttons from a different cheap denim jacket sewn onto it because it had no buttons left at all. Sentimental as shit though.
He bought it brand new in 1968, went to all sorts of gigs in it. So if you think about it, its been in motorcycle accidents on big triton cafe racers, its been in 60s mini coopers, it been to see deep purple, atomic rooster, the faces, and was around when led zeppelin I and II was brand new in the charts.
If thats not cool, then fuck off.
Its that sort of shit that makes me want vintage clothing over other stuff, among other reasons.

My bedside ‘area’ is now looking suitably timewarp. Shoved a new table, lamp etc in there earlier.
Radio doesnt work but i’ll soon rig it up to play 60s choons and all the rest so i can pretend im 40 years behind hipsters.
Pipe is in there for effect.
Steve McQueen riding through london. Can you imagine anything better than riding a vintage bike, in 60s london with no need for a helmet, leathers or anything.
In the words of blur, modern life is rubbish.
Its amazing what you can get on ebay nowadays. A large packet of haribo or something can be nearly 2 quid and yet for 99p i bought the seats in the photo. They need a clean but they’ll be going in ASAP. Picked them up tonight and the mini interior is going this colour throughout now, to make it more 70s. Bring it on!
Anyone wanna buy these boots at all?
Some people showed a liking to them when i posted a photo, and i dont really wear them enough to warrant owning them.
They cost like 90 quid new, they dont make them at all nowadays, theyre underground england ones, so well made and sturdy. Cast rubber heels that basically dont wear (can vouch with other pairs of underground boots).
Look essentially new bar a tiny amount of scuffing on the ends, offers?
Forgot to mention, size 8 mens, EU 42.
Might sell the jeans too, if you’re lucky ;)
Life would be far easier if i was normal. But nah, already looking to import one of these from the USA.
Why have a practical economical modern reliable car when you can import at great expense a rare fibreglass car thats based on a VW beetle and paint it with daft psychedelic artwork and have people look at you like you’re scenile.
I must do this.
This golden beast passed its MOT today. Which is good because my scooter broke this morning and refused to start. Shall be driving to college tomorrow with status quo on full blast.
Eric clapton and his bulge.
Cream, the best dressed band of the 60s.
I knew i’d get into the 70s look eventually. Ive always been to set in the way of ‘it must look retro but be modern otherwise i’ll have the shit ripped’ but now im really getting into it.
I think two or three months of solidly listening to status quo has done it but fuck my life look at these platform boots. They went for £23 on ebay and if they were my size i would have got them.
If i had ovaries, they’d have exploded by now.
What i was on about last night.
My auntie was telling me when we were at the pub that she used to commute to london in the 60s. She worked literally feet from carnaby street, and i quote “used to walk down there every day to get her sarnie”. For all americans reading this, a sarnie is a sandwich.
Then she told me how she was walking down there one day and bumped into mick jagger.
Literally nearly fell off the chair. It was apparently quite normal back then to bump into people like that. He was apparently wearing a velvet coat.
My fam are winner.
I make too many text posts. So here it is, the foothills of the headlands.
