At the risk of this becoming the Strat-as-a-fashion-item thread, I have an '83 American. Or it could be! It is neither a two-pot model nor is it a Dan Smith (I established that by looking inside the "works"). My guess it is a hybrid - an '83 neck on a different body.
anyone else catch This is England 86 yet? Pretty dark, much moreso than the original movie. Especially by episode 3, but i suppose you can see it coming tho I thought it'd be with a different character involved.
Can "the look" apply to instruments?
******* hell, just watched the first 4 episodes..i don't think i can watch the rest it makes me feel downright violated, but i am glad that guy got what he had comin'
Sheepskin coats and Crombie-style overcoats.
What about donkeys? How much were they popular?
It's interesting. I often hear that it was one of main parts of skinhead style, adopted from British workers.
I thought I would show you the fashion items which I still maintain from the late sixties. None of this is vintage, everything is currently or recently available, and you have to remember that I'm now an old guy so the stuff I wear isn't at the extreme end of the look.
Is it safe to say that ,above all, the [Original]skinhead scene was about the clothes/fashion & the attitude?
For example, could someone have called themselves a skinhead if they didn't fully live up to these "standards"?
What was the purpose/statement to be a skinhead in your time?
