    Regarding the dampness and cold. I can't help imagine that skinhead fashion would have turned out sort of differently if it had originated in Sweden. It's all good and well to wear a harrington, a cardigan, shirt, perhaps a scarf it it's temperate. In -10 to -20c, wind and 2/5 of a meter of snow...

    Tried wearing a crombie the other winter, had to wear an incredibly thick cardigan and a scarf, not to mention freezing my ears off. A donkey jacket just about works, got myself one of those without the pvc and with tartan lining. Donkey jackets wasn't part of the original look other than...

    I must say, i do have a preference to the northern look. But something i havent seen discussed; what did you wear in winter? Sheepskins would do i suppose, but i was under the impression not everyone could afford those. Perhaps you didnt have those -20c winters we have here?

    Works pretty reasonable with the rest of my stuff. On my way to city council.

     Yes, and 20£ was the post/freight fee, 20£ was for the coat itself. Cant imagine no one wanted to bid higher, perhaps the coats that are lighter in colour are in higher demand? Anyhow, really quick delivery, 2 days from Holyhead, Wales to Sweden.

    The second or later waves hasn't been discussed, as they've been deemed outside the scope of thread by quite a lot of people. Me, i don't mind as long as long as the politics are checked at the door so to speak. There's a time and place for everything. What i think would be interesting to...

    Got the sheepskin today. Wont be needing any special cleaning since it's in good shape. It's one of those brownish/darker types. Matches the rest of my warderobe better. 40£ including post/freight isn't too bad.

    I like old school tattoos. One of mine is actually based on a design originally created in -65

    I may be getting a sheepskin coat very soonish, dunno about its condition though. I suppose drycleaning is the thing if it's dirty/smelly?

    I'd say it had a big influence. Both mod and the skinhead fashion-styles at least for me is the very essence of modern, postwar working class neatness and style. And it goes to show that being a upper class type doesn't necessarily buy a good sense of style, but style is more of a ethos that can...

    Reminds me, i bought a couple of really cheap DM brogues this summer. On sale, about 20£.

    Been looking some for a sheepskin, but i'm sorta having second thoughts; How well do they cope with rain? Will it ruin it? This is one rainy town

    Mod to Suedehead

    It's sorta cold outside. Can't really use a harrington or a jeans jacket. I was thinking that some of the sheepskin coats earlier in this thread was quite nice. Never bought one of those, how much should one expect to pay for a passable one? Is sheepskin coats even made in that style anymore? Is...
