Bank holiday cattle market, Cambridge, 1969. The start of Andy's Records,

who went on to have shops all down the East of the country before going bust. Are they bleached jeans I see on one of the customers? I'm not sure.

If you see a "Skinhead" here in San Francisco wearing jeans that tight they are almost certainly trying to get stared at haha!

You live in a fantastic City , AYP. Been there a few times . My favourite film, Bullit , heavily features the place too . I have some friends up in Mendicino , it is good there too when the weather is fine. .not many skinheads knocking around there though. .

Just looks more to me like the honeycomb fades that so many denim heads strive for.


Is the guy in the fishtail wearing a pair of smooth leather chukkas?

Looking into picking up some new shoes and, as one would expect from this forum I'm obsessing over details. I'm finding that most longwings have a slightly more pointed toe than shorter wingtips. I like the rounder toe, but would prefer it in the longing. The birdseye view is how I'll look at my shoes all night so it's what I notice more than anything. In the pic starting from the top is a pair of Alden's, Loake Royals and then my own pair of Hanovers. The Alden is what I find ideal, the Royal is a bit more pointed (or does it just look that way because of the wider welt?) and the difference is a lot more drastic on my own. The Alden is my ideal, but my potential price range maxes out at the Loake. Any suggestions in the <175 USD/135 GBP range?

Looks like it to me, it's what one of my old mates called a "Subtle" bleach. He loved that look.

Just look faded to me, nice to see markets have not really changed either.

It's a carry over from a previous look. Here I am wearing one at my cousin's wedding in August 1968 when they were very popular. The lad looks more mod than skinhead. Looking at the train timetable it appears to be Yorkshire, in which case the Harringtons would suggest 1971. Maybe the DB had originally belonged to the lad's older brother and he's just grown into it!

Longwing with a rounded toe + low price range = Dr. Martens longwings. Cos other than that, you are defo looking at Alden for the roundest.
Check out Allen Edmonds and Bostonian, too. Etsy and eBay sometims yield NOS or at least minimally-used shoes from now-defunct companies like Barrie, Bedford Suyvesant(sp?), et cetera.

Looking very smart there RB, i do think the double breasted suits look very smart, perhaps something to consider sometime for a change from the 3 button.

I didn't notice the Yorkshire timetable either, nice find.

Thanks Tom, I might give them a call but I probably have to find a U.S. stockiest as shipping from the UK here to B.F.E. costs a fortune.

Sadly, the only pairs of black leather shoes I have are some CG (which refuse to take a polish no matter what I do) wingtips with a commando sole, some weejuns that pinch my toe and some really beat up MiE DM Gibsons. I really should own a pair of leather or dainite soled black shoes. I think I'm just going to keep scouring Ebay and Etsy for deals.

Does anyone know how the modern Florsheim Kenmoor stacks up quality wise against the Royal?
