The Way We Wore: A Life in Threads

This is a really funny, interesting and honest zoooom through decades of change that I remember very well. Robert has a really keen eye for Everything and real skill in getting that over to the reader. Really recommended and a great way to groove through some kickdown time.

Very enjoyable book providing a good reminder of youth fashion that I can identify with. Easy read and well written nostalgic look back at at time of what you wore mattered.

Just loved reading this book, got totally immersed in Mr Elms reminisces of his childhood ubringing, one for the connissuer of clothing throughout the ages, lived it myself..This book is as good as it gets, a socialogical, cultural and look back to the past insight into the way we were (wore)

I regularly listen to Robert Elms as a radio presenter and his knowledge of London is always interesting to listen to. This book contains some great bits about London as well as the sartorial side of the various tribes that I grew up with. A very entertaining read that I would reccomend.

Enjoyed this book &, in particular, reliving the mod/skinhead fashions of the late 60's early 70's which I was very much a part of. Couldn't relate so much to the rest of the youth movements & thrir garb ie punks, new romantics, goths etc., but it was still interesting to read this from the perspective of someone who was very much at the centre of things. I'm a fan of Robert Elms, but my opinion was coloured & somewhat revised upon discovering mid-read that he doesn't rate The Beatles - oh well, I suppose there's always one!

Interesting book on fashion and youth culture, deeper than the average book on that and some nice personal details. An old mod at heart.

Very interesting read. Covers it all. QPR singing "My dog sleeps on FILA!" was my particular highlight. Don't read it with ebay to hand or you will rebuy all your forgotten threads.

Very interesting read about the 60s, 70s, 80s etc and a lot of insights into the various origins of many music scenes around London
