Thank you for the hilarious article on 22 items every man should own (The ultimate men’s capsule wardrobe, 16 November). I’m proud to say that I have none of those in my wardrobe. I have plenty of shirts, but nothing plain. I don’t wear T-shirts (the round neck is an abomination). I have plenty of shoes but no brogues, and I definitely don’t own a suit any more. Chinos – what sort of person wears chinos these days? The quirky jumper I can do, but not with hoops. As for waterproof coats and that hideous nylon thing ... are you serious?
Most of my jeans look as if I’ve been attacked by wolves. I rip and embellish them to create a unique, scruffy style precisely so I don’t look anything like Mr Brogues and Chinos.
