Worth a mention as always used to dress to impress from the plain lambswool crew necks of the Housemartins to the new Stone Island jacket for every Beautiful South tour. Well liked by lads for his clued up clobber, and was on it long before the celeb masses. Only in as an 'alternative' as you wouldn't think it from listening to the Beautiful South - some good tunes yes, but the mellow country style pop is hardly the Mondays, the Roses or Oasis is it? Hardly the songwriting of a potential Blades Business Crew. Worth mentioning that he sold all his Stoney on eBay a few years ago to raise funds for his daughter's school. Pleased to say they went for big bucks - even the knackered stained peely Raso I got outbid on went for nearly a tonne.
2D aka Stu Pot
Lead singer of Gorillaz is a trend setter amongst fellow toons. Seen in this publicity shot sporting a vintage Fila tracky, possibly paying homage to Blur's Damon Albarn - who he coincidentally sounds quite similar to. Strange.
Billy Connolly
Worth a mention as the Big Yin was fond of wearing khaki watch viewer Mille Miglia, whilst racing round the outback on his chopper during his early 1990s documentary/tour 'World tour of Australia'. Smart piece of kit a far cry from his usual zany pyjama style suits.
Griff Rhys Jones
Like Heaton is well known by lads for his fondness for clobber, particularly CP Company MMs. Seen recently on his World Cities programme sporting a very fetching red watchviewer. Has also been interviewed in the past about his casual iconness and also rumours on some blogs that he ran with Cardiff's Soul Crew when he was younger.
Julian (Postman Pat's Son)
One I've only noticed since being a dad, and rediscovering Postman Pat (truth be told it never went away). Despite looking and sounding like a girl (plus having a chicks name), plus being 'blessed' with strawberry blonde curly locks, Julian is a well dressed individual amongst the Greendale Youth. Seen wearing a green Peter Storm and Adidas Malmo, he's certainly got the one upmanship over the kids. However is a bit of a glory supporter, choosing to follow the mighty Pancaster United (allegedly).
