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.

    • Some of the replies to you have been unnecessarily rude. It's not unreasonable for wheelchair users and everyone else to expect to have access to the footpath. But instead of criticising the council for not already knowing about the problem and casting pre-emptive aspersions on their responsiveness...maybe you should actually take the step of letting the Council know about your concern? When I had a similar-ish complaint, the Highways team responded very quickly.
    • "The tables outside the Blue Brick were in fact mostly within the cafe's curtilage." All the tables were placed on the pavement, not part of the cafe's curtillage any more than the pavement outside my house is a part of my curtillage. There are no signs of demarcation like studs or different paving which is usual. I believe though many cafe's were awarded licenses by the council during the pandemic allowing tables to be placed on the pavement. "Yes, Jenijenjen [your 'real name', obvs], I have posted over a number of years. Say what you intend clearly about these previous posts, so that other readers can judge, rather than alluding to them obscurely as if they somehow invalidate the matter I raise here. Good grief."  Blimey, you're reading something into this post that really isn't there and was not intended.  No hidden agenda, merely an observation.    
    • They do that in Chelsea. Bars and cafes can buy the parking space in front of their shop to put tables in.  We should be more like Chelsea.
    • I like seeing everyone out enjoying themselves.  I'd prefer Lordship Lane to be car free and all the cafes etc have tables outside.
