Mod to Suedehead

[Ed Vaughan]



You're a gent.

Don't say that... just spent an hour trying to find it again.

I'll check my other machine and see if I've kept the 'history'.

Speaking of leather harringtons, wear mine quite a bit. Very dark brown 60's number..!

being a NY'er i'm a fan of having a lil' "Uptown and Downtown" in my boot rotation.

here is a brief simple side-by-side of my:
- MTO Tricker Herman cap-toes (left)Thanks again Shoehealer!
- Dr. Marten MiE 1460 (right)

I personally like to have boots for both work and play...

Make of this what you want.

FWIW: my first - and it was black - harrington was from Stone-Dri* on Market Street, city centre Manchester in 1969.
Subsequently had red and blue ones - but can't remember where they were from.

Blimey - Stone Dri are still going? They as well as Austins, Rodney Thomas and MIllets were our main points of call on shoplifting shopping expeditions back then

Not insulted M.O.M. Would be interested in constructive criticism. What is it you don't like?

Sorry Yankmod but if you genuinely have to ask the question you probably wouldn't understand the answer. That jacket is just so wrong on so many levels that I suspect M-o-M doesn't know where to start... I know I don't.

Question Fellas.The Yids Army,Spurs Crew.I read somewhere that they started as a skinhead crew(and use to get a lot of anti semetic greif,thus the name) Is this true and what did you guys think of a Jewish Skinhead crew?The Yid Army claims to be the crew that exported Bovver to Europe as they were the first in Holland 74' McDermott,Nice one thanks for dat.Davichan,ever hang at Coney Island High back when?My friend Sean Oliver use to play there.Exuse the dyslexia.

Hmmm, let's have a look at that jacket again...

Yep, you're right... you play the fool. Chief.

It's unfortunate you don't understand my motivation.If this conversation descends into "Who's cool and who is not"I'm afraid your all gonna lose that fight.I'm tryin to be supportive.

They are called "the Yid Army",because of a large number of Jewish Supporters.It was deemed "Anti-Semetic"to call them Yids-even though a lot of Supporters do not mind the Name.
To any Skinhead Crew,they were just a Mob.As I have said before,West Ham and Spurs` Fans joined together(in the 60s) mainly against Arsenal.

Very smart.Still like my Leather "Monkey Jacket"(based on the 60s Design).I believe Ace and Eights mentioned them before.

I'm too lardy for leather gear nowadays... I look like a nasty sofa.

I thought the Yid army was a name originally used by other teams as a piss take cos Tottenham (the area, not the team) has a huge Jewish community - then was eventually adopted by the Spurs fans.

As for Yank Mod's jacket. You're not a skinhead so I wouldn't want to criticise your dress sense - there's no right or wrong.
As a skinhead jacket, I'd say no. Personally I think its awful but the problem I have with it is its not a 'harrington'. I'm sure if you type in harrington into google images or ebay, all kinds of stuff will come up. A harrington isn't a name for every short zip up jacket with a collar.

The Tottenham Supporters started calling themselves Yids because of the Flak they getting-a Defence Mechanism I think you call it.They like West Ham and others have a History of Jewish Support.
