It’s back. For a few years now I’ve had a stream of people asking where they can get a copy of The Way We Wore, the street style memoir I wrote back in 2004, and rather frustratingly I’ve had to tell them all it is not available. You could spend increasingly large sums on a second hand copy - evidence of the fact that it has acquired something close to cut status – but could not buy one through the normal channels. Well you can now. I’ve linked up with a company called Autharium to republish The Way We Wore as an e-book for you to download onto your digital thingy. They will also print you off an old fashioned physical copy if you ask nicely and give them a little extra dough, so now you have no excuse. If you want to follow the adventures of Britain’s remarkable trouser tribes, from Teddy Boys, through mods, skins, soul boys, punks, new romantics, up to the end of the whole teen clobber caper with acid house, well you jolly well can. As part of this process I have re-read the book and I am still very proud of it, and it brings back amazing memories of terrible haircuts, great music, good friends and bad hangovers. So if you want to read about solatio box top loafers and pink pegs, bondage trousers and bowling shirts, ties in pins, hankies in pockets and shenanigans in Soho you can. The Way We Wore is available from autharium/Ebook/Robert%20Elms/the-way-we-wore2-
