It’s all very well raving on about the 80s and 90s, but what about the much-maligned 1970s? It’s not all kipper ties and Bay City Rollers tartan y’know. Bradley here is rocking a sort of late 70s crossover look – a slouchy-shouldered blue leather jacket hits the urban rake look, albeit one from The Sweeney. Add into that a gentlemanly gallery-owner’s silk scarf, a pair of Victorian spiv boots and a penny farthing necklace charm, and you’ve got the Thin White Duke’s dealer. A strong look, and no gold or neon in sight.
Scarf by Tie Rack
“It’s a Jungle Book scarf. My friends call me Mowgli, so I thought it was quite appropriate. It’s silk one side and wool on the other. I got it from a charity shop for a couple of quid.”
Pendant from ex-girlfriend
“It was a present – it’s a little penny farthing. I like small things, it’s very detailed. Penny farthings are cool.”
Shirt from Dirty Harry
“It’s a striped number – I got it last year. I like the 70s style of it.”
Leather jacket from Oxfam
“I got it about five years ago. It’s a bit different, a bit of a puffy sort of shape, I haven’t worn it for a while but it’s good to get it out again.”
Waistcoat from Top Man
“When I got it five years ago I thought it looked nice and old even though it was new. It fits great. It has an aged look that I like.”
Jeans by Levi’s
“They’re 501s – I got them in Scunthorpe of all towns. I normally wear tighter jeans though. Its nice to get out of tight jeans now and again.”Belt from Charity”It’s my favourite belt. I like the details. It’s nice and thick – I don’t like skinny belts.”
Boots from Aldo
“They might not look it but they’re pretty comfortable. They’re a great colour and they’ve worn in great. I’ve got a lot of shoes but these are my favourites.”
