I was going to say-not a "Feathercut" in sight.That is how I remember Girls.On a Mod Site there is a picture of Girls dancing in a line(I wish I could transfer it),same thing.

I do not know why people still go on about His shops, After 71 they all went down hill, I went back to the Ivy shop in 78 Got a Barracuta, and a couple of BDs, He no longer stocked Royals, I ended up buying a nice Pair of Alfred Sergent Brogues...from A J Martin, Maida Vale, London, Sadly closed down some months ago.

Then again I think I may have misunderstood you Colin, as in you meant those revival mod girls got the style wrong, just like those modern day skinhead girls...

Yes,I believe they have-ask any Mod who was about in `62/63.They have taken bits and just shoved them together.Little Queenie apart(and I am not just saying this,as I know Her)other present day Skinhead Girls/Women would have been ribbed merciless by other Girls-by their Appearance.Look at Dana to see what I mean.
