Before you take Alan Flusser's work too seriously, have a look at a picture
of the man. Pause for thought.
A lot of the rules described in this and other conservative versions of
classic menswear do not translate to the mod world - the very idea of
dressing to suit your body style for instance (is this even a consideration
when assembling a mod uniform?) Plus a basic concept that Flusser et al buy
into is that men's style peaked in the 30's, with the nipped waist and wide
shoulder, and ergo their concept of the rules does not leave much room for
say, discussion of an appropriate tie length for hipster trousers.
That said I appreciate the occasional tidbit of info contained within and
you've got to love the matching sock/pocket square concept.
