However, we've spotted a couple examples of the armless jean-jacket which are, at the very least, interesting takes on the look :
The Hub festival last weekend saw Tuf Tim Twist going for the old skool Popmaster Fabel painted denim look and he manages to pull it off, if only for of the ridiculouslness of a 40-something white bloke from the U.K attempting the look in the first place and the painted graf' on the jacket itself being pretty good.
On the flip-side, we have this hesher, recently spotted by Killa Barratt, who's gone for the metal-take on the look :
Your author can't call it on this one. If our subject is a bonefide hesher who just wants to celebrate his love of those pre-whigger crossover days when metallers looked like proper metallers and not members of the Boo Yaa Tribe then he should be applauded, but should this fellow be some ironic twerp out for the LOLz then we'd like to douse the jacket in petrol and set it alight, preferably with him still inside it.

Looks like an ironic emo kid to me
Just saw this searching the web a was funny to see someone cussing out Tim Twist about jackets. Having been a bonified member of the Rocksteady crew since the 80s and a good friend of Fable it interesting how you single out him as the 40 year old and not fable who is a little older? Passed this on to Fabel to comment and maybe bring some historical hip hop knowledge to this post 1990 rap page
