Are you Mod?!

Taking original style into the 21st century

Swipe The Style #5 - When You're Young, The Jam

As far as non-album singles go, When You're Young is actually secretly one of my favourites. This is mainly because of the video, as you'll see below, but also because it has a great thundering guitar riff throughout and a cheeky bit of the lads bascially fucking about around 2/3 of the way through the song.

Anyway Weller's outfit in this is on point as usual. To clarify, I'm not sure why I'm not bothered by Bruce / Rick... they just don't seem to nail the look in quite the same way.

Black Button-Down (Ben Sherman)
£55

The foundation of the look is a smart black button-down. Surprisingly difficult to find these anywhere reputable. So we've gone with Ben Sherman.

Black Trousers (Adaptor Clothing)
£75

I still prefer these over the alternatives (e.g. Sta Prest from anywhere else) because they Adaptor's ones have a better feel to the fabric.

Boating Blazer (MadCap England via Atom Retro)
£99.99

This is a bit trickier as the exact blazer Weller is wearing doesn't actually exist anymore. Best bet is Madcap England, who do a variety of quite loud and zany jackets. You can get this one on the Atom Retro site.

Bass Weejun loafers (GH Bass)
£135

Thanks to the cameraman getting a great shot of Weller tapping his foot in the video, we can surmise he's wearing a pair of Bass Weejuns. What else, frankly?

‘When I was young’ I always looked to Bruce as being more stylish than Weller, especially when Weller went off on his Lonsdale trip, and I can never forgive that Style Council era wedge!
Anyway in this video I like Weller’s boating blazer (I have one similar in navy with sky stripes) but with the passage of time it all looks a bit ‘identikit Mod’ while Bruce’s rig is more understated and could easily be passed off in a business casual workplace today, where only those ‘in the know’ would know.
