  • I'm with multi on this one, I've abdicated any sense of being fashionable since I've been riding the bike, sweat too much, so I've got to roll with a change of top in the bag. But I'm a dapper man if i say so myself and would love to be rocking some stylish quality wear on the bike, that didn't get soaked to fuck with sweat or stink to high heaven even when you wash them.

    I'm in the Market for a couple of good suits, lover of moleskin me, went upto see a tailor on islington recommended by q fashionable friend of mine, tailor was called Charlie Allen, we discussed a bespoke suit but I never got round to getting it made. Bought a suit from William hunt, but the crotch of the trousers had been eaten out by moths, so only the jacket is any good. I did love that suit.
    Apart from that got a friend that swears by tk maxx, as he got a load of Oswald boateng suits from them dirt cheap relatively and got Oswald to tweak them for him.
    There was a documetary on Oswald boateng on bbc4 I think where he was talking about a black tailor operating on saville row, who'd kept the old name of the shop in homage to the old geezer that first gave him a chance as a tailor. Can't remember the name of it, got it written down somewhere but when I get some funds would like to get a suit from there.
    Also was thinking about doing that hong kong tailor thing, but again moneys innit.

    Apart from that fashions for Bollocks! Find out what suits you and buy two. Take no notice of high fashion and couture as it's a nonsense, see something you like, appropriate it like the rest of modern western society and adapt it to your ethos. I've got some tops that I used to wear way back when I'm thinking I might break them out and see if they've weathered well.

    Coppithat and jonny for dapperest men on bikes that I've seen...
