Are they Mod?

It’s the time-honoured question, but I still am not sure about El Ganso.

It’s definitely all Ivy League / preppy style, but it’s annoyingly not quite Mod. Here are some things I’d change if it was up to me:

• Change at least half the jackets so they have three buttons at the front. At the moment, they only have two, which is really annoying because they are fab. Bright colours, loads of great patterns, as well as matching trousers for a few.
• Change the width of the ties. Again, so far they are all just a few cm too wide to be Mod.
• Make some trousers and jackets without the zany colour combos. El Ganso’s thing is pimping a grey or black jacket with a green or red lining or piping and then having the trousers match in a similar piping style. My problem is that this reduces the interchangeability of the stuff. Plus all their trousers have turnups.

We’ll have to see. I still can’t help going in there though.
