I'm always banging on about the lack of older models selling menswear, so well done to Daks for using Paul Weller and his daughter, Leah, in their 120th Anniversary campaign. Here they are singing Weller's You do something to me.

Bradley Wiggins x Fred Perry cycle jersey collaboration
Monday, 23 July 2012
I make no apologies for featuring the winner of the Tour de France for the third time this month. His love of mod culture (he has a collection of scooters) has become better known recently. Recently Fred Perry (beloved of mods everywhere) launched a range of cycle jerseys in collaboration with Wiggins. As can be seen, they match the Paul Weller-style sideburns very well. They sport GB stripes at the collar and the rainbow World Champion stripes on the sleeves (he has been world champion in several track cycling disciplines).
Cycling jerseys were always a popular mod essential, and these are suitably retro in design. They are available from Fred Perry, priced at £65. Ideal also for those older gents who were mods the first time round!

Dressing well in middle age - Paul Weller
Thursday, 22 March 2012
A few weeks ago I was looking for a double-breasted jacket on-line (see here). These photos of Paul Weller show how such jackets can suit the older man, classic, yet smart or casual as needed. Of course, Weller looks good in his older years. The hair is slightly Rod Stewart, but he's clearly a man comfortable with his own style, one of the secrets of dressing well.
I like the top jacket, with the contrasting white buttons giving it a jaunty nautical feel. It's by Beams Plus at Mr Porter where you can see more about Weller's sartorial tastes.
