Jambo Style

[Dashing Bob S]

Once saw one wearing a blue kagool with a Hearts scarf on a very hot summers day. This was several years ago but the image has stuck in my mind as indicative of high Jambo style.

Jambo - style ......... the best example of an oxymoron you will ever find.

[The Harp Awakes]

A type who consider themselves as gentlemen of the establishment, keen lovers of the armed forces (because they actually won WW1 singlehandedly don't you know), possess delusions of grandeur, have a win at any cost attitude but seldom win, consider that kicking everything that moves is fine, are diet huns some of whom pretend they're not, and have pishy breeks.

I once saw one of them in Majorca wearing a pair of safari shorts and a top that didn’t quite cover his tummy. Worst still on his arm was a woman that had teeth that only a joiner could have fitted. The sight was that bad that the hearts top wasn’t the first thing I noticed.

To the extent that they have actually recreated Somme like conditions on their "playing" surface and developed high intensity shelling as a football tactic.

That schemie bird you see wearing pyjamas to nip to the shops because she can’t be arsed wearing outside clothes: Jambo.

The lesser spotted male equivalent wear dressing gowns in public places like football matches.

Can you tell what it is yet?

[Anti-hoofbaw]

To ZZ Top 'Sharp Dressed Man'


"Pringle gear, Donnay shoes
And Tyncastle's where he's goin' to
Club foot, squint yaks
He don't need a reason why
Hertz love hoofin' just as high as they can
'And every Hibee's laughin 'bout a hertz dressed man
Fake watch, sare ring,
He ain't missin' not a single thing
Pink seats, smug grin,
When he step out he gonna look a f***g ding-a-ling
Hertz love hoofin' just as high as they can
'And every Hibee's laughin 'bout a hertz dressed man
Stained coat, ***** chat,
And he don't worry 'cause his birds fat
Gimpy specs, leather gloves,
Reekin o shartz needin a wash wi dove
Hertz love hoofin' just as high as they can
'And every Hibee's laughin 'bout a hertz dressed man"

[hibbydog]

The quintessential jambo:

Tank top
Brown chords
White socks
Yellow teeth
Dandruff
Mid 90’s rave music
Manky BO
Constantly shouting ‘never mind that p!sh, get the baw up the park’

[Just Jimmy]

don't forget he drives a rover.

Very good, made me laugh

john mcglynn wearing trackie bottoms, managers jacket, shirt and hearts tie lives long in the memory.

I assume he had dress shoes on too however I think the photo had cut that part of the photo off.

[Roxyhibee]

Shows off his Springsteen’s Greatest Hits cd and calls him “The Boss”.

Shiney shoes and regular fit denims.

Dad dances singing Mustang Sally on the karaoke.

Says things like “aye but it takes two to tango” and “nae point in havin a dug and barkin yersel, eh.?”

Heavy on the Blue Stratos.

Waiting on the second series of Kilroy-Silk’s Shafted.

Says “it a’ goes doon the same way” whilst ramming a pot noodle down his fat neck at his desk.

Thinks his daughters pals love him with his creepy innuendo jokes when they visit.

we could go on..

There's a lassie where I live that routinely passes my window wearing a onesie and Ugg boots - now that is Jambo style.

With the inclement weather she's been teaming this with a rather fetching blue Stone Island jaiket.

did have a laugh at that, but what's wrong with Blue Stratos? Used to drink it all the time

For the average senior yam anything corduroy is acceptable in the trouser department so long as they have relaxed fit waistbands. All upper garments tend to be a jobby brown and pink tinged colour and must be knitted by an elderly relative.

The more fashionable young team (anywhere between 25 and 40) are happy with any trousers so long as they are nylon/polyester or any other material that can generate static electricity and costs up to £10 a pair. Upper body garments tend to be decaying short sleeved hearts away tops but gillet's from charity shops are starting to feature.

A few believers still have Russian hats.

As the good doctor develops even more ideas to spend their savings on as an alternative to fan ownership footwear tends to be only for the very rich superyam as the rest are having to make their uggs, crocs and leather look brown brogues last even longer

You had the class to see the true potential of Blue Stratos whilst those buffoons put it on their unwashed skin..

The mustard tie and maroon cardigan is probably a bit of an outdated image now.

Young Hearts fans will likely be the guy on holiday in the brightly coloured Primark short short swimming shorts, Puma flip flops, sunglasses with ridiculously oversized frames in a primary colour and an ill fitting polo shirt by Hackett or similar. Essentially a cut price 'Chelsea lad'.

Your more mature gentleman will be in the regular cut jeans, burgundy jacket by Lyle & Scott or similar because it's 'trendy', almost certain to be sporting a pair of entry level Nike trainers and the polo shirt will remain largely unchanged.

It looks as if she's been run over by a Land Rover - both ways.

And a pair of tan faux leather driving gloves taking pride of place in the glove box, because Miriam thinks he looks authoritative in them.

Per wumman. Looks like they recycled the curtains from the John Robertson Lounge. Whoever told her that was a good idea was having a right laugh (or has horrendous taste).

I've noticed that the younger **** goes for a huge forelock hairstyle whilst the older jambo has no forelock left from all the tuggin'.

Saw a Jamboess walking down Gorgie Road in 2006 with her Hertz top on. It said Hackett on the back and thought well at least she's honest.
