It's not like Galvin is some renowned hard man.

He'd be a hardy enough buck I think, the same Paul.

A few years back he was out in Killarney in Tatlers and he and some other Kerry players approached a group of attractive women. Paul was rebuffed. Anyway, the drink flowed and later the object of his affection went back to him, assuming the invite still stood. And he smiled at her and said..."listen love, you only get one chance with Paul Galvin" and walked off on her.

I'm sure he can handle himself. But are you suggesting he would be a physical threat to someone telling him his skinny jeans don't suit him or that his Dunnes collection is pretentious crap?! I doubt it.

He might look a lot better if he shaved off the stupid beard.It's hideous.

He does kinda look like a drunkard getting out of a pub in the early hours, dazed, bits of food stuck in his beard...

You have to admire him, even if you dislike his clothes.

He played the sport he loved and got to the highest level. Now he is making a very good living doing something that he loves too.

And he did it with hard graft and a large spoon of not giving a crap.

Fair play in fairness.

I'd say Oliver Callan would disagree.

No he is a sh1tkicker who used his "fame" to sell **** clothes rather than using his GAA face for selling tractors for de bank

Ah yeah, that's not up for debate.

Its his clothing tastes and cod-philosophy that are funny

This post shows nothing but your own prejudice. Such a narrow mind will prevent you from being happy as he is.

He didn't hit Callan hard enough. By all accounts Callan was in a group that started by winding him up, and then started getting a bit more hands on. When he reacted they got all weepy.

When you view the individual items of his collection.
A lot are very plain simple things that would be easy enough to sell.

Maybe the clothes only look ridiculous on Paul Galvin himself - there'd be a delicious irony in that, which might help explain the permanently haunted look on his face.

There appears to be open season on Paul Galvin, and his fashion range, in this thread. His range isn't the type of thing I'd wear myself personally, partly due to its styling, but mostly because I'd never ever dream of buying clothes in a place like Dunnes Stores. 

However, he does appear to put some thought into his styling and appearance. This is in very stark contrast to the majority of Irishmen; a proportion of whom I imagine are the ones here taking shots at him from behind their keyboard. The €10 back and sides haircut brigade. The ones who appear to dress in the dark, using an 'off the peg' collection purchased in the final reductions area of TKMaxx or Guiney's. Bootcut jeans, striped shirts, hoodies, North Face or Superdry jackets.

While you may not follow his sartorial ethic, you should consider spending a little more time thinking about grooming, styling and presentation.

I think there's more to that than a random slagging. This is someone who was making a living ridiculing Galvin on the national airwaves. And apparently really acted the prick on the night. It reflects poorly on both of them tbh and if it really was just a mild slagging (as opposed to the reported provocation) then Galvin's an even bigger pretentious ass than suggested here. But I don't think the threat of a clout from a GAA player would deter the type who would randomly slag him to his face anyway. It'd probably only encourage them.

Basically you think that certain Irish men look ridiculous and they think the exact same about you!

Where I come from it is only a certain type of man that cares about their fashion...


Fashion conscious men.

He might hit you with a duster tough!

Galvin is a man who reached the very pinnacle of his sport. He was also a fine hurler, as an aside. He is now forging out a career as the name behind a fashion brand that must be selling, as it has been causing indignation on sites like this for a few years.

He's a year older than myself, and seems to be taking a lead in trying to get men his age to dress in a way that isn't the usual old thrown together ensemble that so many Irishmen feel is 'grand'. I have noticed that younger men in Ireland are taking pride in their appearance, and this must be commended. It doesn't take an inordinate amount of time, money, or effort, but will make an enormous difference to how you present yourself to the world. 

If you are in your 30's, and still wearing baggy jeans, music or computer game tshirts, hoodies etc, then you're doing yourself absolutely no favours. Smart casual means casual, but it also means smart. Grunge era 1993 isn't a good look for the modern gent.

If someone turned up in a flat cap and grandfather shirt sporting a beard to where you claim you work, the ninja squad you claim to be part of would have turfed him out on the spot for putting personal gratification over respect for client. If you work in the circles you claim to work, you'd know daytime attire means navy or black suits, and no one gives a hoot what you wear on your own time.

Absolute hogwash! The grunge era fashion was good enough for Chris Cornell and Dave Grohl and they are/weren't young fellas.
The grunge look would be the perfect antidote to the rolled up pants, no socks current trend anyway...

Life's really too short for the level of preening that Paul Galvin and the like partake in. Seriously, I imagine the guy has got a make up bag, wears face masks, and spends at least two hours dolling himself up every morning.
