That picture is just retina scorching. Just about everything is wrong with it, it looks like someone has photoshopped, at random, three different people into one composite being, each with a different body type and fashion style.

He just looks completely ridiculous tbh. Looks like mumford and sons and one direction swapped style tips, came up with an outfit, then stuffed a bogman into it.

The only item I like is the red bomber jacket but at 70 quid it's way too expensive. You could buy something similar in H&M for half the price. Do young fashionable people shop in Dunne's? I haven't set foot inside one in years.

I wonder what age group/demographic the range is aimed for?

I can't imagine any lad over 40 wearing this stuff, but do lads under 40 buy clothes from Dunnes?

Usually with womens stuff its pigeon-holed into age category/plus sized/formal/work wear/sports etc.

Who is buying and wearing this stuff?

He looks like what happens when you keep hitting "Random" when creating your video game character.

I reckon Dunnes fiendish plan is based on Granny-sales.

Granny will buy it for the adored grandson for Christmas.
Young recipient will hate it, but (a) will be bullied by other relatives into wearing it for a few visits to protect everyone's feelings and (b) Granny won't have included a receipt anyway.

I will place it on my hat, which will be filled with a mans perfume...with a plum floating in it.

What does the Beckett quote even mean in this context?

"We are all born mad, some remain so."

Okay... Maybe they're trying to imply that you'd need to be mentally unwell to wear Paul Galvin. Maybe it's a desperate appeal to Beckettian boy-intellectuals, whom I wouldn't have thought are Dunne's target market. Just has no context at all.

Well, it would explain Dunnes' store manager recruitment policy

Now I know what I look like. My boots are like that but better quality. Better untie the laces to be "on trend"? My excuse is I'm 66.

El Hombre

Ever since the Harrington and Costello brands I've thought Dunnes are gone a bit cracked notion wise.

Like the prices for stuff that wouldn't be far above the quality of Penny's polo shirts, jeans or chinos and they charging prices you'd be close to paying in a proper brand. I'd swear a Costello shirt was priced nearly at €50 one day and you can get a Tommy Hilfiger shirt from an official shop for about €60.

Anyone ever buy his gear?

No self respecting man wants to look like a cross between Justin Bieber and a bogman. I suspect mammies bought most of it. Unwanted presents.

Looking at the range.. it is a bit like what'd look like if my brother tried men's fashion. (Cue the photo of him in times square wearing a black crinkled poloneck over boot cut navy jeans)

It's like the ravings of a very stupid person who thinks they're very deep.

I like tattoos. And McGregor. I gave money to a homeless man. I'm wild and rebellious. I fell into a hole once

Who's appointed him as the voice of "how to be a man"?
He missed out the "don't thow dusters at kids" rule, that should have been up the top.

I was ready to give him a chance. But it's fairly moronic. And talk about shaking hands with yourself, jaysus.

"How to be a man". He's a gobshíte.
Of course he has to model the clothes himself. A million rolleyes are not enough. Off to the "inexplicable can't stand" thread with me.

I've gone back a few years further. For me, the Georgian period was where it was at for men's clothes.

Oh sweet baby Jesus. Some of them look straight out of the War of Independence. To think men fought in a civil war like that for our freedom and to progress as a nation only to have their dress sense replicated as being in fashion almost 100 years later.

"When I was around 10 years old, I fell into a bog hole near my house"

I think that his brain must have been oxygen-starved for a long time in that incident.

The article is hilarious. All of his answers consist of self-help soundbites that he read somewhere else.

The clothes..? Who wants a 1950's Irish factory-worker reboot? - wtf

When I heard he had written a 'Guide for Men', as if men needed guidance from him, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

'Bogwash denim jeans'...FFS

The trousers are too short so you can tell the world "look, I don't wear socks".

My grandfather had better dress sense than to have his trousers flapping around above his ankles and trouser legs that are far too narrow to be practical.

When you view the clothes on the Dunnes website it comes across as a little boring.

I have trawled the web and I have yet to see him wear a pair of trousers that fit him. He must get up in the dark every morning and put on his wifes trousers by mistake..
