Shoe sex antics in Camden

Chilling outside the bar.

First off I must apologise for the quietness of late . 

It's been a cool summer so far here in somewhat sunny London and It's been a busy time in Beardiful man land: I've got a great new job, and oh you know setting up and organising a pop up roast restaurant in Bethnal green and the fact that I had a little birthday jaunt to Brighton with the Katietron. Both of which were super awesome but took up a lot of free time that I would have normally spent thinking about this sort of thing :D

But I'm back with a number of new blog posts going up over the next week so stay tuned.

So to business ...

The Katietron and i went for a wee mid week beverage or three up in Camden. so i thought I would bust out my shiny new Loakes brogues for the occasion. 

They truly are THE most comfortable shoes i have ever worn straight out of the box. I was a bit worried that they were too light in colour and that i would look like a total fucking douche bag hipster with them on but i think they worked well with the blue of my work shirt!I also wore my leather jacket that i bought at  Torp Köpcentrum,  Uddevalla Sweden a few years ago.

My new Loake brogues - in light tan - they feel like gloves they're so soft and comfortable.

The hat goes with me everywhere  - it so is my go to thing - shit hair...HAT! gonna rain? HAT! So, i make no apologies for the hat like ever!

My bestest cheesy grin! apparently i can't do blue steel it makes me look like I need a poo!

Outfit:

Hat  - Jaxxon caps

Shirt - Sears Automotive Work shirt

Jeans -Pike Brothers

Belt - Vintage

Shoes - Loakes

I wore a tie - A mutha frakking tie!

I've been trying to raise my game a little when it comes to situations that require me to be a little smarter.

I've never been one for going all out smart but here goes.

My new jaxon hat that I posted about yesterday got it's first real world try out and It's really growing on me the overall size of the hat bothered me at first but I am getting used to it. Once i'd done a number on the Peak [i normally roll them up and stick them in my back pocket for a couple of hours so that they stay rounded.]

The tie I have had for Quite a few years - It is a silk tie from the 1960s it has no makers tags or anything on it but it's one of my favourites.

I always try to stay classic with my sunnies and these match my regular Optical Ray ban Clubmaster glasses so are a perfect match for the summer. 

Sunglasses - Rayban Clubmaster 

Cap From Jaxon Hats

Shirt Vintage - from a Deal Charity shop

Tie Silk 1960s Vintage

Vintage Belt - From ROKIT vintage on Brick Lane London 

So did I succeed at doing smart casual?

Lemme know!

Sexy Superminx Hot rod

So I thought I'd do a post about my sexy car!



She's a 1962 Hillman Mark V Superminx [love that]. And I bought her 5 years ago. Engine block had the pistons literally hanging out the side of the block. Rust had almost killed the engine bay and the doors were hanging on for dear life.

Over the course of 12 months I turned her from a lost cause into a matt black monster.

one of the twisted ass Piston rods

We've had a few ups and downs along the way mainly prop related due the

of the shear amount of torque coming from the engine. But she's my baby and I have spilt blood sweat and tears over her [literally] but I wouldn't change a thing.

The Rockabilly Porn Roof!

The Hand Painted Skull and Crossbones.

Me and my beauty at the Bucket and Spade Run in Ramsgate!
