Perfect social commentary from Goldie Lookin Chain

popped up on my FB feed, love it!

Awesome

…and that is why they invented the intraweb.

Though to me nothing says ‘total knobhaed’ like baseball caps. Squared if its a ‘trucker’ type.

Mrs. S and I commented just this morning on how it has become standard uniform for the dog walkers around here.

How weird.

You knows it 🤟

A very useful warm and waterproof coat.

But funny video

is that an admission of guilt 🤔

Robertajobb on his way down to Asda…

Funny story – me and my brother got chatting to Adam Hussain and Gray Taylor at a gig in Switzerland when they were performing as Tennents Supermen at a ski / snowboard festival. We saw them at another gig the next night and they recognized us and started buying us loads of drinks. Got pretty wasted and then Adam starts on the joints. He ended up walking out of the venue totally out of it and fell down a steep snowy bank and we had to go and rescue him. The bouncers wouldn’t let him back inside at first as they saw what happened and said he was too drunk but then one of the event organizers came over and told them who he was. This was before the days of decent camera phones fortunately 🤣

Innocent until proven guilty and all that but:

Sounds like he has means (I’m sure MCTD has access to cash/card.)

Motive; defendant stated, “A very useful warm and waterproof coat.”

Opportunity (I’m guessing there are clothing shops near where MCTD lives.)

Pretty damning evidence in all honesty.

looks even better with a fresh pair of crocs

Genius

Essential island wear in winter – going out in the garden with the dogs or cleaning out the chickens. In defence, ours are Moonwrap and wouldn’t dream of wearing it down the Main Street.

Pretty much standard kit at the school drop off and pick up at my daughters school, bonus point for flip flops as well.

You’ll enjoy this group.

This place is a social education. 8 was unaware that dry robes had become casual leisurewear

baseball cap is a boon for a spectacle wearer in rainy conditions. It’s not a fashion statement, it just means I don’t have to wipe my glasses with an increasingly damp cloth or tissue every couple of minutes.

If I was still stood on football pitch sidelines watching kids all winter I suspect I too would be a dryrobe afficionado. Coupled to an old pair of site boots (slip on, steel toes for lawnmowing protection, liberated from my last job) rather than flip flops though.

This is a new thing to me. But asking colleagues on that there south coast it seems a real thing down there… By Eck.

Will Dry Robe be adopting the rap for their next marketing campaign I wonder?

This place is a social education. I was unaware that dry robes existed.

Now I just need to learn why.

Brighton….. Shoreditch-on-Sea.

Mate moved there a few years back. Don’t like the place personally. Seems very try-hard, oh-look-i-am-so-alternative-i-blend-in-with-all-the-other-freaks.

It’s also just completely normal headgear for anyone who wants one.

Walking around thinking everyone is a **** if they’re wearning a cap in 2024 is just being a judgemental throbber for the sake of it. But, this is STW and we have more than our fair share of those.

I’ve been watching people commute in Dry Robes and just ‘very long coats’ all winter, so roughly the last 9 months. They make perfect sense when the rain is coming down sideways and I’m jealous of their warm, dry arses and legs. It started raining in July and it hasn’t stopped since. I’ll be buying my own if it keeps up.

Agreed about baseball cap , 68 year old spectacle wearer , also hoodies , skate shoes , jeans like I’ve worn for over 20 years oh and the cap is a Fox one to complete theSTW flaming from the STW fashionistas out there 😁😁😁😁

I have a new respect for crocs after hearing this: at about 2.35

To quote the Sage of his generation, Mr Pete Docherty in the line from A Time For Heroes…

There are fewer more distressing sights than that
Of an Englishman in a baseball cap

I don’t know if you listen to Elis and John on Five Live on a Friday afternoon (you should do as its bloody brilliant) but they do a mock ‘Bergerac’ type drama called DI Robbyns, which has a very distinctive theme tune. Goldie Looking Chain did their own version, which is utter genius, and sent it in to them…

The reference to the family stickers on the back of the car was an excellent subtle addition…..

Absolute pandemic of dryrobes here in Devon

Dryrobes is Hove not Brighton Alpin.

Waitrose, please. The IQ reducing baseball cap wearers go to Asda, not gents with style..

Gents with style read the thread before posting. 😁

is that an admission of guilt 🤔

No, but I can see a use for one

Those long padded coats look well cosy, but they don’t seem to do them for men. I am less convinced of the practicality of a dryrobe as a coat. Didn’t see any about last winter round here.

Baseball caps are great at this time of year with the low sun. Mine’s got an Ironman logo on it for maximum knobbishness 😀

@greyspoke you could always go ‘Full Wenger’

I can’t help but think their boom is related to the peoples increasing size. They’re very forgiving.

Wrighty sees that coat and raises you this one:

the plain black one in the video you wouldn’t even look at twice if it wasn’t for the branding – it’s the minging dayglo ones that are the worst.

Layers and windproof outer are the way to do it – my  kids don’t play football but if I was going to do the parent outdoors standing around in winter job, I’d have a set of waders! super thermal, fully sealed to the armpit

Yep been wearing a bump cap in the works van as the sun visors are crap. I look fairly silly, but that is my right as a middle aged man.
