A few years back my wife and I walked past a skate park and laughed as we noticed that one of the pre-teen skater kids was wearing a mall-bought Clash tee-shirt, except that whoever manufactured it didn’t even attempt to copy their logo. No picture, it just read “The Clash” in Helvetica.

You can’t buy cool, which brings me to this…

Jim and William Reid, the Scottish brothers behind The Jesus and Mary Chain are many things, but since when are they style icons? Apparently Japanese designer Jun Takahashi sees the Reids as the height of fashion, hence his hideously expensive and deeply odd Spring/Summer 2014 Undercover clothing collection for men, inspired by them…

If dressing like a rock band from 30 years ago—and paying dearly to look like an absolute twat—seems like something you wouldn’t be ashamed of doing in public, you can order items from The Jesus and Mary Chain line at Undercover’s website. Takahashi and Undercover have earlier collections based on krautrockers Can and Talking Heads. What could possibly be next, I wonder?
 

Pretty tragic, right?
 

JAMC pants… because why not?
 

I’ll never understand
 

Nine million rainy days? No problem with your JAMC “You Trip Me Up” parka!
 

The living end? How’s about something’s wrong?
 

They didn’t even get the line right!
 

Okay, admittedly I would wear this one… it says “DOG” on the back.
