     Clouseau, were there any other particular French brands that the French skinhead scene adopted as part of their fashion identity? I'm referring to another iconic brand like Lacoste. Like FP it has a very recognizable brand. Was that alligator brand much sought after by any other French mod...

     Well none of the so-called "hipsters" today look like this I can tell you that much: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hipster_(1940s_subculture)

     That's how its always been I suppose. That term has pretty much become a knee-jerk reaction in the media. Nevermind the fact that, none of them could really be called "skinheads" to begin with.

     Out of curiosity why the sudden turnaround by FP to acknowledge the historic link between the brand and skinheads? On a related topic, has anyone seen this? http://www.france24.com/en/20130607-skinhead-linked-paris-death-clement-meric-fred-perry-connection/

     Jump the Gun sta-prests are reasonably priced, but Relcos are more affordable. Brogues and loafers look best with sta-prests, and its pretty much been established that a pair of loake royals are much desired. As for socks I don't really think there are any rules. Overall fashion rules...

     Honestly, I don't see the "second age of nudity" ever changing, atleast not any time soon and I'll be the first to bend the rules of appearance by wearing my house clothes when making a quick errand to the corner store, whereas people a long time ago would have probably gotten dressed. What...

     Yankmod, that's also one of the reasons why I've tightly hung on to the smart traditional skin/suede fashion, partly in protest of the crap around me. Glad to see I'm not alone in feeling this way.

     cerneabbas, I'm the same. I try to keep my wardrobe as traditionally skinhead/suedehead/mod updated to the 21st century (if that even makes sense). I can't count the number of times I've heard people say "why are you so dressed up for?" When did wearing a pair of something as simple as...

    Question for the non-American posters on the site: Although it may not seem like the question has anything to do with traditional skinhead fashion, it does. I was just reading an article online that generally speaking Americans are considered the worst dressed people in the western world. By...

    I know Reggae/Ska has been discussed before in this forum, but this last thing I heard was just too dumb and too good to pass up and I file it under the dumbest thing I heard for the day. I was just debating early skinhead music with a poster in another unrelated site: and he says that, wait...

     Agreed 100%. Btw I'm listening to Sam Cooke right now. ;)

     Well southerners would take offense at being called "yank." Since some of them are still brooding over losing the American civil war." ;)

     Just to add my opinion. Been awhile since I've been here. Really surprised how race and politics got mixed up in this otherwise informative discussion board about sartorial sense. Its all a matter of context and the history behind those terms. "****" "*****" "*****r" "***" or "Yid"...
