did you guys ever go as far into Ivy League cloths as corduroy and tweed sport jackets?Originally Posted by Get Smart
did you guys ever go as far into Ivy League cloths as corduroy and tweed sport jackets, chino trousers etc? Seems like harringtons, buttondown shirts, staprest and brogues/loafers are about as deep into the IL style as originals got.Originally Posted by Get Smart

Do you also know the ones nicknamed as Sly Fry (next to Roscoe in the colour pic of Church Street), Mole or the West-Indian lad Pudding, all in the Church Street pic in front of the White Horse? Their names was posted in the original source of the picture, thought they had some interesting nicknames (Sly Fry and Pudding especially).
Hi loempiavreter yes also good to see you on here mate, just feeling me way around,
I had a idea it was the White Heart, was not 100% sure... as you look at the pic where Fudges the Cycle shop is, there is another pub on the Roundabout, i always thought that was the WH, Their was always a Disco there on Saturday,
You have reminded me of one Lad, I lived over Stonebridge Park for 10 months in 67, then we moved back to Kilburn, I was friends with one of the Frys, cannot remember his first name,
Regarding Roscoe He was Deaf and Dumb if i recall.
The Willesden was our enemy but it never really came to blows, their was respect between the two mobs, In saying that the Kilburn Aggro mob was about four times bigger in Numbers.
Most the Willesden came off a estate called Curzon Crescent , It was notorious in the 60s, the name has been changed now.

Brooks Bros actually makes a decent chino that is more like staprest than chinos. They call it the "milano fit chino", which is a slim fitting trouser, a heavier cloth so not typical chino cloth, and has a crease that is supposed to keep even after washing, like on staprest. It's also a wrinkle free cotton so basically "staprest" even tho they call it a chino. They have it in stone color, so took a punt and ordered a pair (good return policy if they suck), I know they fit well from trying on in store, hope the stone color is true to website pics as it looks quite good. here's pic from website. I think with the proper shirt, brogues etc. they should be quite serviceable.Originally Posted by Get Smart
Late 1969 about 200 Willesden attacked The Ace Cafe (rockers main London cafe).Originally Posted by GINGERNUT
A bit out of the way by public transport. Stonebridge Park station and walk along the North Circular? I remember it from the 'ton up' boy era. As I kid,I used to go to judo in the road opposite The Pantiles public house. I would see bikers speeding along the road with no helmets. All British bikes of course.Originally Posted by Kingstonian
Do you remember the Abbey Hotel Pub along from the Ace Cafe, It would have a Disco on a Saturday night ?Originally Posted by Lasttye
What boots would you recommend for winter? I like my DMs very much, they are very comfortable and looks very smart but they are totally unuseable in snowy streets. They slips like a hell. And recommendations?Originally Posted by Big Muscle
That's peculiar - we are having one of the iciest winters ever here in Scotland, and my daughter's DMs seem to have a grip like a Yorkshireman on a five-pound-note!Originally Posted by Man-of-Mystery

Just a few notes to correct a number of mistakes on here.
Roscoe was not deaf and dumb.....Richard Frewer was deaf and dumb.
Willesden hated Kilburn......I remember one Saturday night when Willesden smashed Kilburn on their own Turf..'Kilburn High Road' a number of Kilburn got bashed that night.
Willesden were the biggest mob in that part of London (NW through to Middlesex).
Most of The Willesden did not come from Curzon Crescent, they came from all over the Willesden area: Harlesden/Willesden/Stonebridge/Neasden/Cricklewood/Kensal Rise etc.
Willesden caused mayhem from St Johns Wood to Uxbridge ie Acton/White City/Alperton/Kingsbury/Wembley Harrow/Greenford/Northolt/Ealing/Hanwell/Eastcote/Rayners Lane/Ruislip/Watford/West Drayton/Richmond/Kew etc.
Willesden had Black and White members, alot of the white boys were second generation Irish (now days would be called Plastic Paddy's). Late 1969 over 200 Willesden attacked The Ace Cafe (rockers main London venue).
Kilburn were no match for The Willesden - Willesden would beat them in every department, numbers etc.
