Mod to Suedehead

[Clouseau]

They were only a movie costume, made up.

Really ? I'm disappointed !

Two pics we didn't have (probably movie stills)



Huge shirt collar on the left !

This is Style Forum..i.e. "I saw this garment, footwear, etc, in a movie, where can I buy it?" usually in the Classic Menswear section.

Fred Perry should offer some souvenir pens as part of the package...

Looks like the long sleeves are just rolled up higher than usual to me.

The habit of having a long sleeve altered to be a better fitting short sleeve has been mentioned on this thread multiple times. I think we are likely finding an example of this here.

Hi,

I'm sure it was posted quite a few times on these pages, but too hard to find with such many pics and newspapers articles.
I'm looking for a small article in a newspaper with a tiny skecth (1966-67), thoutght it's called "It's a Mod mod world" a focus on a new trend on the Mod scene, the skinheads.

It was featured in some skinheads books and perharos in Mod ones, and I saw it a lot of times in Modzines but can't find it anymore in my mess.
If someone coud post the pic or a repro of this article... Thanks a lot.

Has this great photo of Tottenham Hotspurs skins been posted before? Found this on Pinterest. It appears on several such websites, though a date isn't given anywhere.

The commando steelies worn by the lad on the right point to a time before DMs became the standard skinhead boot. Then there's his shaved sideparting and wider than regulation turnups. So I'd say 1969 or maybe 1970. Of course, I could be completely wrong.

You might be referring to the Chris Welch article in Melody Maker - a load of elitist, snobbish twaddle from a terminally bourgeois journo. Interesting from a 'social history' angle. Sort of.

Here's the page header. Do you recognise it?

 

[Gambettamod]

Thanks a lot "Man of mistery", this is it, I recognise it !

I didn't know where it came from as I always saw it cut as a "press cut" in mod or skinzines and without references...

So perharps I'm referring to the "Chris Welch article in Melody Maker - a load of elitist, snobbish twaddle from a terminally bourgeois journo."

But as I can remember as you said it was :"Interesting from a 'social history' angle. Sort of."

Thanks again ! Do you have the whole page, not only the header ?

And as my first post on the forum and thread I give you this. About 13 years ago this was me and the crew. Me center, red crop, jeans, black Fred, and my cherry reds.
Over the years I grew and got jumped out, messed around with the mod scene for a while. As of recently been really finding myself leaning back to a modern take on modernism and suede
