     Hi Botolph, On "They're a little narrower than Brooks Bros Advantage Chinos" -do you sport the brooks Clark or Milano fit? Just wondering if by narrow you mean the rude's are slightly tapered? I think my brooks are around 8" opening, are the rude's like 7.5" or something like that? Btw, I...

     I was after a chunky waffle knit cardigan but didn't want to spend allot as I generally layer with sleeveless jumpers (in Southern Cali its hotter then hell 9 months out of the year). As stated, Mikkel & a few others offer those, but they can be pricey. So I took McDermott's advice from...

     Hi Anthony, I cant answer for the originals, but I have the St. character tattoo & got it when I was a kid. Tattoo's can mean anything to anyone, but basic reason was that I liked the look of the emblem & it was readily recognizable by most people. In the 80's it was considered a throw-back...

    Hi Everybody! Wow man, up to 1065 pages... Even though I haven't posted to this since pg.584, I've kept up my weekly reading. Nice to see all the contributors still going strong! Anyhoo, while reading the recent deals people have picked up, I wanted to throw this one into the mix: Last weekend...

     Same story for me. As a 46 year old, I hate ironing which is funny because in my younger years I was the guy that ironed every outfit every week, -and at any outing I basically refused to sit down. Didn't matter where I was, sitting was not an option because that would potentially flatten a...

    For those looking to possibly score some Brown boots (paging MoM), Mikkel Rude updated his 1969 line with some Solovair built brown. Its worth a look (although relatively expensive). I'm not sure if the pic is true to color as I havent seen these in real life, the link is HERE.

    Hi Markus, Assuming your questions are serious, I would say that if you are concerned with strolling around and being identified as a skin, then do that. I.E. wear the uniform no matter what. If that’s not what your deal is, then just wear what you want and take elements of this and incorporate...

     Action Slacks are not the real deal as far as 60's "Sta-Prest" are concerned. Im not positive on this one, but I believe Levi's intro'ed the Action Slacks in the 70's (they sold action coats also). Basically sta-press finish to hold the crease, but they were 100% poly. -If this is correct, og...

     I was watching a documentary on Paul Weller (Find The Torch), He mentions style stuff throughout, but in part two around 4:20 he states: "the culture I grew up in was all about music and clothes and football -I supose as well to some extent. But from the time I was about 12 or something like...

    ^^^LOL. My point is it is possible to endure long strides and a shirt in hot weather. @Despot: Speaking from the 80's perspective, it's exactly what MoM said. I lived in L.A. and San Diego where its 75 degrees or hotter most of the year. When you are young & into that scene, really the only...

    ^^^@raging_rapid: this subject has been touched on in these threads, -answers start at the middle of page 151.. These 2 comments are the primary examples of answers here though: Splattered jeans were big with later mods too in my area from around 1967. You would wear a fine Smedley like top...

    I was reading this small ‘78 article “Skins” in Strangled Volume 1 – Issue 5 (pg.7) and noticed this quote about ’69 skins: “…soon we had arrived at the golden age of skinheadism, when a well dressed lad would not be clothed until the following threads were upon him. Feet: D.M.’s… You could...

    yea I listened to 2 Tone before Oi as well, 1982 when I first started listening to Selecter, Specials, Madness etc....wasnt til 1985 when I got into Oi, but listening to 2 Tone didnt get me interested in skinhead, as it was all rudeboy/mod friends who were listening to that. It's more accurate...

    I just wanted to Thank MoM and all other originals/people that are involved with the book project. Keep it rolling, that is great news! This weekender in the states might be the greatest single oi show ever, even better than Rebellion or HITS it'll def be of interest to "new breed" skinheads...

    Bunty that is straight comedy! Reminds me when I was 14. My dad had bought me a Crombie when he was over your side of the pond, and I was always figuring out ways to get money to buy/tailor clothes etc. My hair was probably about #6-8 & I never wore boots as I had a thing for brogues & smoothes...

    ^^^2nd that, I really want to see the pics! Damn, I'm jealous you saw all those bands GS. For the last year Booze & Glory has been in heavy rotation (all those other bands get much play as well. I still play C84 "skinhead" & "gang warfare" almost every time I get drunk & have control of the...
