    I don't think they do at all, except maybe for the last picture. What makes you think that, the flight jackets? I personally haven't seen many early revivalists wearing longish hair like that, big pointy collared tops like the brown one or even the sort of sunglasses the fella in the plaid...

     Looks like the photographer is one Iain MacMillan, from Dundee, Scotland. http://imaginepeace.com/archives/9843

     I posted that, as a curiosity. It was a record by an american hardcore punk band called Walk Proud. The funny thing is that they weren't even a skinhead band as far as I know...

    Didn't shrink a whole lot, but it did shrink. But after a day wearing it, it felt more relaxed again.

     I just soaked it once and let it hang by the belt loop to let some air inside. The colour didn't change too much and it stopped stinking, so that's my advice as far as jeans go. Some people put vinegar on the water, but I don't really know if it works.

     I have one too, it's supposed to be a 50's replica model. Best jeans I've got. I've been trying to find another one but they always cost about three times what I paid for mine.

    Did you wear sandals along with you regular mod/skinhead gear?

     I was asking myself the same thing. English is my second language so no wonder I didn't get s***, I wonder if English speakers from other places can grasp what they're going on about.

    This is hilarious, there's a part where the reporter's talking to the black skinhead kid and asks him if he's ever bashed anyone. The kid replies something like "yes, greasers, hairies, rockers" and the reporter says in french "he's bashed people of italian origin and people with long hair". He...

     I have one. Great shirt, much better quality than the regular Ben Shermans. It's really slim fitting though. So it's perfect if you're in shape, but gain a few pounds and you'll never wear it again... If I'm not mistaken, it was based on a 60's Ben Sherman given to Paul Weller by Steve...

     I have one of each and what I can tell you is that the Mikkel Rude one is the best short sleeve shirt I have on every respect. It's supposedly more authentic as a skinheads shirt than most, but what I really like about it is that it's not as baggy as an american "normal" Ivy League shirt...

    I've always thought these pics looked like something made specially for a fetish magazine of some sort. Like they hired a bunch of guys who dressed skinhead and paid them some money to pose for them like this. Couldn't they be from later, late 70's maybe? I mean in the early days of the...

     This "Paul Wright" fella from the flickr thing I linked took them all in London I suppose. That's what it says at least.

     It's actually from early 1976. It's pre-punk, as punk only came along later that year, so I suppose it wouldn't be that different from what would be going on in 74... Underneath it says: Teenagers – February 1976 I took this photograph in February 1976. On the left is my sister Debbie...

     Would you say these mid 70's skins looked a bit like this?

    Ok, here's how sad I am: The video was shot on september 4 1968. Ha!

    Damn, what a coincidence! I was going to post stills of this video and ask if any of you had noticed the kids.

    From what I've read, the sharpies did begin before skinheads (late 50's even), but their style changed over time and by the late 60's they probably were influenced by skinheads coming in from the UK. These mid 60's sharpies look quite different from the 70's ones, who look like a strange mix...

     Speaking of it, a (probably) dumb question: were jungle greens worn with any other kind of shoes than boots? It would look weird in my opinion, but who knows...

    What about the guy with the mustache at 01:34? I've seen a few pics of originals with 'taches. Specially from up north. How common was it? Also, going back a few pages, from what I understood, original Ben Shermans had no V on the sleeves. Is that right? When did they start having the V...
