I'm the same age as the author so his fascinating personal odyssey through the recent history of male fashion should be one I can relate to. Sadly clothes weren't my priority so the importance of the Salatio box-top loafer and the Budgie jacket were lost on me. However I'm grateful to be educated by such a witty and readable guide even if my own rockabilly flirtation is dismissed as 'cool... for a couple of weeks'!
