Westie your neighbour is obviously an individualist who does'nt follow the herd and surrender to the siren call of the advertising and marketing community in trying to comply with the latest fashion trends. So what if he committed the odd fashion crime........as long as it's not all grey and boring it's good.
I can see whalebone bustiers making a comeback.......only difference will be that whereas the Victorian and Edwardian ladies wore them as an undergarment, the young damsels of Montenotte will sport them for all to see........God bless em!
