Hawkins boots - much like Doc Martens - Page 3

I've got a black 8-hole pair of Hawkins boots.  They look identical to Dr Martens.  DMs were always the preferred choice though - and this is from someone who once lived in the ancestral home of both makes - Northampton.  I do remember once having a brown 6-hole pair which were Hawkins uppers with DM soles.

Bizarre that this thread attracts people to the boards who seem to post exclusively in this thread.

Type of people who'd say 'if there was a war I'd be the first fucker on the front line' but would actually more likely to be found beating some helpless Indian shop owner round the corner at home as their war ‘effort’. Basically they are cowardly ignoramuses – but I really shouldn’t generalise like that….

I appeciate this is an old post. But what an illinformed idiot you are.

Yes of course there are racists Skinheads around. But the large majority are not racist and indeed have no interest in politicas at all.
I also know some long serving forces personel who have served in war zones. And are proud of being Skinheads as well as being ex Navy and Army.

I found this forum and thread while searching for info about hawkins boots because the quality is superb I like the style 2 hole desert boots anyone know of any mod links with these boots ?

thanks for the informative piece on the skinheads what a forum about style is ALL about, they obviously liked the dm type boots made by this company as the style was a must for every skinhead . These babies are my latest purchase and the cause of my joy in finding them...

 

 

anyone know when these

where made ?

 

they are like mint and my new fav boots pleased as punch and they fit like they where made for me proper size 8 .

 

 its a crying shame the tradesmen and women who made these are no longer producing at the factory which i saw on a previous post is standing derelict   ..... a sad sign of the times that the workmanship, attention to detail and pride is all going when these companies close. to us style lovers we lose the access to the finished product to the employees they lose their livelihood. England made quality clothing that was the envy of the world. Why has it come to this where profit triumphs over quality. 

GJ.
