Gosh yes - how HN manages to run in heels I will never know. Must practice

I was quite keen on Lucas's boilersuit, just not whilst he was actually in it!!!
HN could look good in a bin bag, actually so could MR!!! Lucas looks good in anything, as did Adam....

Poor Tom's 'homeless' costume was extremely convincing!
RE: Clothes and Style - Nia M - 31-08-2010 04:52 PM
As was Adam's
But yeah, you've got to feel sorry for Zoe when she hugs Tom!

I dress like Lucas, he inspired me to ditch the fashion sense (if you can call it that) I've had since my early teens. It's now smart shirts and jeans, nice dress shoes. Occasionally I do an Adam Carter (suit, smart shirt, no tie). I also own a long black winter overcoat, in tribute to the great Harry Pearce! Lucas also has one, as did Tom. I like my fashion sense, it's different to what a lot of people my age (21) in Glasgow wear!
Back to fashion, does anyone know where Harry gets those white shirts from? The ones with the cufflinks and buttons at the neck to keep the tie in (no idea what they're called!) I've been trying to find them for ages and no where I know does them! I'm planning to further upgrade my wardrobe into a Daniel Craig James Bond/Harry Pearce/Lucas North hybrid! Lol!
Cheers, John

Ooh JohnSpook, I'm loving the sound of your new style! I bet Harry has his shirts hand-made in Savile Row, but there is a website where you can choose all the details and get yourself a bespoke shirt made up.
http://www.tailorstore.co.uk/tailor-made-shirts
The type of collar you are after is called button-down, I think, and this site has two kinds - concealed and unconcealed. I should say that 'concealed' is a good choice for a Spook!
I'm picturing you pacing around Glasgow in your long coat. See if you can get a fab scarf to go with it - then you can do that hunched-down, hands in pockets look which Lucas does so well!

Thank you, I look forward to implementing it! I tried that website out, should be ordering a few shirts in the coming weeks, so thank you for the link! I like how you can see a digital impression of the shirt that's quite cool!
I'm not much of a scarves person, but this winter I plan on looking like Harry in the photo below,albeit with the collar up (think 7.2, when Harry kills Kachimov):

And Jhokur, that is a nice suit! Very swish! That picture you posted is cool too, Harry hasn't changed, and is the only surviving character from the characters there!

JohnSpook, the shirt you are actually looking for is this one. It's known as the Pinpoint Oxford Tab Collar Button Cuff Dress Shirt. You can do a search for English Tab Collar dress shirt, as well.
