These are "Urban Woodsmen" and the look is HOT (apparently) and it's coming our way !


(of course Shoreditch is awash with them - tho hardly a tree in sight ironically)

I'm particularly impressed by the end two.


There are other dressing-up-like-something-from-a-book/film looks out there, but this one's caught my eye.


Have you seen any in your E.D Fash-Binoculars ?

I think there might be a link Richard, indeed.


Well observed, the abundant muff may well be making a come back.


Are you a fan of the well covered fanny too ?


If so, welcome on board.

It's probably my age, but I can't shake off the feeling that admiring oneself in the mirror is not a characteristic a man should be proud of.


The 'urban woodsman' is such a ridiculous affectation that it falls front and centre in the 'vanity' category.


It's a particularly pathetic look because unlike hipsters (who consciously look vain and pretentious), woodsmen try and pass themselves off as capable and manly. Twerps.


I first came across this look a couple of years ago sported by some early doors Facebook employees, and it's fair to say that they were total tw*ts.

I think it's something called 'fashion', Huge. Some of it may be a touch ridiculous, but - on balance - it's makes for brighter world than one populated solely by pot-bellied thirtysomething's in chinos and one-size-fits-all pastel-coloured tees from Uniclo.

    • I was interested in this paragraph: Are the local councils renting out their parks getting ripped off by the international festival operators and private equity companies who own the festivals?
    • Found Chilli & Garlic to be pretty tasty and very good value, a really welcome addition amongst the sourdough, bakeries and pub fare. Personally, I prefer smaller sized Falafel, for more crunch and lightness. And I found overall, everything lacking a bit of punch. More Chilli and Garlic, and pickles please! Maybe that’s just what I’m accustomed to.  Highly recommend the falafel on Northcross Road market - amazing value, really excellent falafel, and you can really taste the care that goes into the homemade fresh pickles, sauces & salads.  Having travelled extensively in the middle east & I find it a close match to the many falafel stands I have tried.       
    • MSN is an aggregator. Not a news source   the source is a Nick Gutteridge article in the Telegraph so, closer to reform than BBC   (I would question BBC news reliability these days mind you) It would be difficult to describe gutteridge as objective.  But it would be easy to claim he is frequently wrong, bordering on bonkers   https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/n/nf-nj/nick-gutteridge/ There is no physical reality where, as we run out of fossil fuels and turn to whatever will replace them, where existing fossil fuels don’t become more expensive  not this country, not any country - you might see some short term ups and downs as politics plays its part - but to whine about your political enemies tackling the dwindling fossil fuels is both childish and playing with people’s lives
    • I popped in to have a chat with them and a look around after I'd eaten somewhere else so didn't sample anything, but they seemed to have plenty of staff so hopefully service won't be too slow! Planning to try soon.
