Thrifty Beatnik Mens Style Blog - Geek Chic Peacock Suit / Why I Quit The I-Phone - 06/10/2009




I know some people will think me mad but today I downgraded my I-Phone to a £5 Sony Erriccson T-250i. I now have texting and phone calls. The phone is such a basic models that the wap settings don't actually work and the 'camera' seems more like an amateur aura detecting device. Why? Well you own an I-Phone please realise this. You did not invent the i-phone! Don't get me wrong it's a cool gadget but it really is a jumped up Tamagotchi; I use a notepad.  If i want to tweet I'll text it in thanks.....

Maybe I have spend a little too much time enjoying past articles: I did buy a vintage  telephone seat this week...

The Jacket : This Jacket is the often underated but highly cool a cotton / polyester blend. Though this can prove a little hot in summer its actually much better for fitting to your shape rather than and often stuffy wool jacket which also makes it incredible easy to clean. Again this fits into my own Jarvis Cocker / Graham Coxon obsession and the fact that it is so unique with its subtle green it also has a massive wing collar.

Indeed I call this the peacock suit as those lapels are HUGE much like a certain birds, well I guess, a certain birds 'pulling technique'. Obviously like evolution over religions, nature will always win over fashions but its good subconcious attempt at drawing the attention to oneself
