This is one of the first videos we did in our series of looking at cool people with cool jobs. Terry has a passion for clothes and records, and as you can see in the video, likes to dance.

Bethany is one of the managers at Sue Ryder Vintage in Peterborough. The shop was one of the first dedicated vintage charity shops. It is a treasure trove of womens and mens clothing. In the video Bethany talks about working at shop and some of the fun things that happen
We have been busy with the camera again. Below you can see many of our shoes with Shirts from the Mod / Skinhead / Scooter friendly company Relco. We got these from Gary who you will see on many a scooter rally and also from his website http://skinheadandska.co.uk/
We particular liked this shirt, and think it will go so smart with our Corded Desert Boots The Prestons & (White) Jeans.
Anyways hope it helps you out and enjoy the pics

You may not know it, but Saturday April 16th 2016 is Record Store Day here in the UK. The day is an annual event, and has been running for 9 years. Lots of artists put out Vinyl you can only get on the day. And it helps lots of indie shops & record companies get their stuff out there.
I always try to get along and find something, last year it was a Georgie Fame EP. Anyways, this year we have teamed up with Detour Records, who as many of you know are predominantly a Mod / New Wave label.
So we have a selection of vinyl singles from Detour records,one of which will be randomly given away with all orders whilst stocks last. And, this is the good bit, 1 lucky person will receive a collectors item record worth £20!
So, as they say, you got to be in it to win it.
Are You Ready For The Weekend
Its Easter this weekend, and the start of the season for a lot of people. To me its time to forget the winter and enjoy the long weekend. Maybe your a Mod or Scooter Boy going on your first rally of the year. You may be off to a Northern Soul do, a good few miles away.
Wherever you are going you want to be smart and looking good.
We hope you enjoy the pics and it inspires you.

We have been busy with the camera recently, and have taken lots of pictures. We are always happy for a chance to showcase products by other brands that we think our customers will appreciate. Here you can see the Mod Shoes Exclusive Colour Rawlings with a cool double breasted suit from Adaptor Clothing.
We think they look really good together, and also think the shoes will look equally smart with a lot of suit combinations. I have worn mine with suits and also more casual trousers. My step son wears his with jeans, and I think that they look really cool. Why not buy all three colours? You will never be short of a great co-ordinating look!
Gibson London and Modshoes
You will notice we do a few photo shots with Gibson Clothing. We do this becuase we like their clothes. Some are not what many would think are MOD, but thats kind of not the point. Smart clothes are smart clothes, and good many of MODshoes customers are not MODS !
So thats got that out of the way, what we love about their clothes is they are cool, smart, orginal, with a nod to the past, but complementary and lots of other adjectives, but most importantly they are GOOD
We like teaming up parts of their range with other makes and importantly our shoes. So below you will see our Tassel Loafers with several outfits. The same for our Jeffery West Weavers.
The prince of wales Harrington is a classic , and goes with loads of our shoes, and the check means it can sit with our new black penny loafers the Earls.
The country squire look they do is a very now / current , but also retains a vintage classic integrity, a man who know his stuff.
The Boating blazer below is so so cool and look so good with our Chestnut Dukes
Notice as well a classic 3 button mod suit, with covered buttons. The colour is very cool and proper stand out in a crowd.
What we also like about their clothes is you can buy fairly easy but not everywhere, something we try to do with our shoes.
Here are a collection of pics we did recently to show our shoes with a cool , but smart jacket. We hope you find it informative
Modshoes and Hawkins & Shepherds Shirts
As we often mention, we like to put our shoes with other company’s clothes so that you get a feel for an outfit that you have, or may be planning. Personally, I am drawn to their shirts as I like the pin collar look.
In terms of our shoes, we think nearly all of them work together, from tassel loafers to brogues like the Bridgers. The Jeffery West shoes we know most certainly do.
We first came across these shirts at a trade show, and were really pleased to find them. Generally, on the high street, it is hard work to get a good collared shirt.
The company offer numerous types of Pin Collar Shirts, several of which you can see in the pictures. They also include hidden tabs, and hook and look collars. This author loves collars that ‘stay still’, and has spent most of his years in Button Downs.
Another bonus about them was that they are an English company. Amongst the many styles of collar on offer, they had the four shown below, which were my personal favourites.

Now my first reaction was a flashback to that 1962 period, where bands like The Beatles would wear these, and that’s what drew me to them.
So we did one of our photoshoots showing several of the shirts, with our shoes.
We think they both complement each other very nicely.
Their website, including many cool shirts, can be found here http://www.hawkinsandshepherd.com/collections/pin-collar-shirts
