Then you'd be wrong: I am very familiar with this photo as they are friends of ours, I believe it was taken in 1967. He went on to be a very early Skinhead. A very well-informed, interesting and knowledgeable man. He had the nouse to be individualistic and never a crowd follower: he liked sideboards - wore them pre-Skinhead and during the period this thread purports to discuss, when they were extremely fashionable and a definite part of the look......if you could grow them....
What street was the picture taken on?

This is how tight I had them laced, just got back and have no desire to take them off, they feel like a second skin. I guess the insoles might be helping, I tend to wear them in all boots. Or maybe they're just made for east European feet! View attachment 814329

Just got a pair of these yesterday in a present , they do polish up well. .

I especially like the deep V on the slipover and the fact that the jumper actually fits properly.

Good to hear from you Little Queenie!

Thank-you kindly, Mr. K. - a gentleman, as always. I think it's just a nice photograph, capturing a lost world of houses free from plastic windows, pretty wooden garage doors, painted in pretty colours, privet hedges and rose bushes - all sadly a rare sight in suburban England now.

It is a lovely picture. Oh, all those things that we took for granted and didn't really notice being taken from us until we see a photo like that.
