Mod to Suedehead

That's interesting, thanks a lot.
Found two photos one day, from the photo machine you mentioned, I have no ide what year it could be, but the girl looks sweet.

That's near enough it.

This sort of thing wasn’t really obsessed about until the dawn of internet fora.

Agreed, and to 'collar roll' I would add 'selvedge' - both things I'd never heard of before.

The fringe at the front was graded too, so it made an arch over the girl's forehead.

That's odd because what I see wrong with modern day skinhead girls' hair is that it sits too flat which makes them look more emo than skinhead.

I think it's a lack of the 'feathering' I talked about, the hair remains too heavy.

Those photos are from within the last ten years, it was a girl on Instagram who dressed post-skinhead early 70s but with skinhead hair and attitude.

It was an interesting look, more interesting than just copying 1969-71, and she carried it off very well.

Anyway, this was the range of skinhead girl hair in my day, you can see the lift the 'feathering' gives the hair.



I never lost my photos @Man-of-Mystery !

You are right, I knew I saw her somewhere else, but the ‘photo machine’ photos could be misleading.

Yeah seen this young lady before. Too cute!

I bought myself a sheepskin a few days ago, what do you think about it? It was cheap, I bought it second hand for less than 40£, I like the colour and seems to be my size, but one thing concers me... I am not a big guy, but am fit, I train a lot(muay thai, cycling, street workout etc...) and have V - shape body(thanks to my dad), the coat is a bit waisted and it is visible when it's fastened. Does it look OK to you?
Edit: I forgot to mention that the one side of the collar is bigger(well not really, but previous owner wore it in such way that the collar is uneven, so I have to 'adjust it' to be right. The difference isn' t so big, but I am a bit pedantic.

Looks good to me. Nice Sta Prest too.

Full disclosure I’m not into sheepskins (always fancied a B-3 but would get zero use out of it here in Florida!) -it looks OK but a bit ‘waisted’. If that bothers you enough you could either let the waist out for a more boxy look, or have some width taken out of the skirts so it hugs your bum and doesn’t flare out as much around the hem so less feminine. That would probably make it hang better when unbuttoned too.

You may end up like me and my $30 vintage US Navy pea coat - I spent more on alterations than on the coat itself!😁

Thanks, I'll consider tailor alterations, but It's not so big deal for me I guess, all in all the jacket is my size so I guess it should fit like that.

I have started a blog a few weeks ago, its about skinhead subculture obviously, roots, music, archive photos, footages etc. The blog is written in Polish, my mother language, because scene in our country is disorted by right winged polish skinhead movement of 90's, so I thought that it might be enlightening for a few who don't know english much. I have found an archive footage from the time when princess Anne visited ABC theathre in Mile End Road to watch Bronco Bullfrog, but don' t understand one line from 0:30 to 0:40. Could anybody write down what he said as I wanted to translate it and write down on my blog.

BTW Here is the link if somebody would like look at the blog https://b-o-v-v-e-r.blogspot.com/, you won't understand translations, but there are original clippings and photos(which you have seen many times before ^^).
PS I am translating some of your own words concerning fashion and other topics, I always try to do the best as I can with translating and hope you won't mind. There are always credits under the translations. I don't know you so there are your nicknames from the forum. If any of you do not wish to be quoted, please let me know.
EDIT: I found the transcription under the video, no need to translating it, sorry.
