Arrivederci….poignant moment of an Italian solider saying goodbye to his amour before being sent off to war.

The other king of cool, Michael Caine in the 1960s-70s is one of the bars that were set for the rest of us to aspire to.

It’s hard to just narrow down “one” photo of Steve McQueen being the King of Cool.  This one strikes a chord with me, wearing the navy Baracuta G9 Harrington (He’s also been photographed many times wearing his tan G9), and the aviator sunglasses.  Definitely one of the alltime Kings of Sartorial Cool.

25 years ago today, one of the greatest records of all time was released.  Oasis “Definitely Maybe”.  Time has proven this record to be one of the all time greats, of any genre.  This record will Live Forever

The engimatic Paul Weller, photo taken from the heyday of the seminal mod/punk band, The Jam.  The music of The Jam is one of our biggest influences, stylistically, musically, subculturally….

Even our name, Thick as Thieves, was inspired by The Jam’s song of the same name.

Great vintage capture of football fans engaging in weekend violence.  With the advent of CCTV cameras everywhere now, such boisterous behavior has been severely curtailed.

Dexy’s Midnight Runners, before they adopted the “new wave gypsy” look.  Singer Kevin Rowland has been involved in British subculture since the late 1960s and his insights into clothes and youth subculture have been well written in various books like “The Look”.
