And the one in the pic below of the lad wearing shades.
Had a few ivy style sweats from a company called mr B's soulful Tees, who do a lot of repros including the aforementioned 2.

Front cover from Time Out magazine Aug 1964, the article inside was called changing faces. The lad on the cover was called Denzil, the picture to the right was him on holiday in Cornwall 1967. An example of how styles changed.

Picture below taken on Boar Lane, Leeds 1966, the lad had just been DJing at a club, he said that all the patches were from bowling alleys.
Jump forward just over 25 years and I would have been in a club round the corner also DJing, without the Parka, mine was solely for wearing on the Scooter, with a club patch on the sleeve, and sergeant stripes on the other, with a name on the chest Clarke. View attachment 1548429

It is a gret pic of a parka , in particular l love the fur trim on the hood, back in the days when we got snaw . Like yourself , my M-51 only has a small The Who patch , a Northern Soul one and a small Lambretta patch on the shoulder . It is great to still have this time of year because of the fleece liner. .

I have had a few t's and sweatshirts from mrB (Billy) , l think his stuff is very good and he is very flexible with the orders. .

Copied from my Facebook post.

As you know, we cocked up the launch of 'Walk Proud: Skinheads of 69 in their own words', for reasons too embarrassing to go into. But this means that we have a breathing space in which to assemble some new photos. If you have any photographs you would be prepared to have included, please send them to the email address at the foot of this post. All such photos gratefully received, particularly those of girls, which are in very short supply.

The photographs must be:

1] Your property, your copyright, and accompanied by your permission for us to use them.

2] From 1969. There is some flexibility about this, in the case of photos from, say, 1968 that show late mod style, and from 1970 or '71 in areas where the first wave of Skinheads came late or lingered a bit longer.

3] Accompanied by as much explanation as possible - for example, year, location, names of people in the photo, etc.

The address to send them is bookseeker{at}blueyonder{dot}co{dot}uk

Thank you in advance to anyone who contributes. To everyone else, apologies for yet another delay, and thanks for your patience. We're going to try for May at the latest.

Something for all the sad mods resting on the skinhead thread

Men’s Sunspel for Paul Weller | Sunspel

Paul Weller’s sense of style is almost as legendary as his music. Following the success of the spring capsule collection he designed for Sunspel in 2021, the singer has collaborated with us again, this time focusing on the clothes that he sees as indispensable winter staples.

Sunspel trashed by a drunken Weller on a factory visit, but the light grey trousers look a lot like the skinhead stapress I remember, so there's that

 

[Man-of-Mystery]

Weller Weller Weller uh! Tell me more...

I'll get my coat.

 

[Inkss]

What a bargain.

was about to say that I thought the Mac was pretty sharp in bottle green. Then I noticed that it only hits about mid-thigh—- thus rendering it pretty useless.

It's barely longer than a suit jacket, seriously, it's about 4 inches longer!

The quality will be good but who wants to look like a scandinavian minimalist mod
