Rod said Penny instigated the ban, calling Trump a “disgrace”,

“There was stuff he was coming out with, what he was saying about women he had known in the past, and Penny said ‘you’re not going – he’s a disgrace’.”

A Shirt fit for A Face

Ronnie Wood has designed a statement shirt fit for a Face..

Ronnie Wood for Mr Wood.

Ronnie Wood has been a long time supporter and wearer of Mr Wood shirts. It helps that they come with his name tape already sewn in.

And now he has provided his artwork for their latest print.

Taken from the monochrome paintings that the critically acclaimed artist, song writer, and Rolling Stones, Faces and The Jeff Beck Group guitarist produced during lockdown depicting himself and Faces bandmates Rod Stewart and Kenney Jones.

Made from 100% Viscose, with coconut husk buttons and passport sized breast pocket.

The short sleeve has a cuban collar, and the long sleeve a button-down collar.

Limited edition of 150. The pattern placement is random. No two shirts are the same.
