In the Mod scene, we seeked out from the '60s: sharkskin suits, skinny ties, parkas, and bomber jackets (to name a few!)

This is odd nobody mentioned "THE WALKMAN"[:0]
I get a laugh at the odd kids around Toronto I see wearing the "Spike" hairdoos.....I recall the radio staion mentioning a guy in the rolls royce factory in England was fired for a "Dangerous hairdoo as he set his spikes with "Crazy Glue"Just think is actor William Holden had that type of doo he would have first nailed his head to the coffeetable then died![}:)]
