You have to pick and choose. The Face currently has a terrific paisley shirt, and, then, for kicking around, some fun Small Faces t-shirts. At Merc, they have those great bowling shoes, and, a nice selection of shirts. Down the street and around the corner, you might find a nice pair of square toe shoes to your liking at Shelly's. So, keep an open mind and know what you want, and you'll be alright. Also, back on Carnaby, there is a store in the middle of the block which sells some groovy soft leather three quarter length high buttoned double breasted leather jackets in midnight brown. You're not going to complete your wardrobe on Carnaby, but. you can put together a nice outfit. Plus, you'll always remember it as coming from Carnaby Street. The Carnabetian Army marches on. ___________________________________________________________ T O P I C A The Email You Want. http://www.topica.com/t/16 Newsletters, Tips and Discussions on Your Favorite Topics
Some comments on clothes in London: Personally I think both the Merc's and Babzotica's clothes are horrible. I also STRONGLY suggest staying away from The Face/Sherry's (the same shop effectively) as they sell NOTHING decent that you can't get elsewhere (usually MUCH cheaper) The new Sam Walker shop (nr. Covent Garden) is pretty cool and sure beats the Merc! The best vintage shops are probably: Dolly Rockers, Yesterday's Bread. This doesn't mean that they aren't mainly full of crap though! Greenwich, Camden and Portobello Markets are also pretty good. Also worth checking are Radio Days and What The Butler Wore (nr. Waterloo) Shener Adam is the best (only?!) place for decent (relatively cheap) off the peg menswear really. Check him out (nr. Portobello). As always - the best stuff is tailor made!! It doesn't even have to be all that expensive really. Emma Silk does lovely shirts for a very good price.
