Skinhead,Suedehead Boots & Reggae

[@GTFC80]

I'm now 62 but was a skin in 60's. Had some great times and many Jamaican friends. Great people and great music.

[@86eastbay]

That's badass man. I grew up out in the East Bay, so Rancid has been my favorite band since about 1997. I grew up on punk rock and new ska, and always listened to Sublime and stuff but it wasn't until the last few years that I got into the roots reggae and oh man, I always thought skinhead was just hard Oi! music but understood Spirit of '69 with skins and reggae but I live for this.

Once a Reggae fan, for ever a Reggae fan.

[@aimeemacdn]

You forgot the Doctor Marten boots! The 'fashion' was resurrected and reinvented in the late seventies/early eighties, along with the Mod fashion and the punks. Our little crowd had all three 'types'. I had a boyfriend who had some DMs which reached nearly up to his knees! Tatoos were also a big favourite of the 'skins'. All this was the time of the new anglocised Ska music from The Specials, Madness etc. Our crowd wasn't violent, just thought we were 'trendy' and wanting to belong to a group.

[@waynesearle7095]

Still got the gear. I'm 64 now. Love it.

[@grassfuse]

There has never been a sharper look than 'Tonic' strides,white 'Ben Sherman,black 'Loafers' and a real 'Crombie' for best and 'Levi's,D.M.'s,Black/White Check Ben Sherman and a Harrington for 'out and about' what times,we were proud to be who we were,WORKING CLASS.We had a full,vibrant culture of our own,with its own,rules,legends,music and structure.We may have had less money,fewer'toys' but we were better people.We knew our neighbours,the people in the pub we drank with,and who we were.With my gear on,a splash of Brut,and few Quid in my 'sky' from that weeks 'pay packet' I was richer than any King,and as happy as any lad on earth!

[@colddaze6680]

Appreciate the original skinhead generation. I got into punk mid 80s. Didn't go skin til late 80s. But the 80s was still a great time for the youth. 2tone ska, ska revival. Proper Oi bands, non extreme political ones. Were plenty of good skins around in the 80s. I met a bunch. 80s literally best years of my life.

[@GTFC80]

I joined Army in 72 and remember one time my Grimsby were playing at Coventry in a cup match and I took 3 coach loads from our camp. There was skins all over the camp but we were still a family, didn't matter what team you supported.

what was skin heads back then? I got into the NSM when i was in high school, now i know they use the music for manipulation but who is in charge. Well no body is racist. We add on don't have it on our original born models of self. Racism is a control tactic no different than the catholic church. I always heard of non racist skin heads and we fought a bunch but damn is this were they came from? whats it stand for. I am drunk so pardon my extreme questioning. I think I did pretty good drunk as I am lol.

Direct Shoe Supply/Faith Kilburn High St for your DM’s, boxtops, loafers, fringe and tassel and fringe and buckle loafers. The odd ‘tear up’ with rockers at the Ace Cafe but it was mainly football based rucks. Loads of skinhead girls in Wembley hanging round ‘The Orange Hand’ clothes shop in Wembley Central.No one had no money but we had great times, great memories of the clothes, football, music and mates!! All this was long long before 2Tone!! Skin/Suede , short hair, long hair, scooterboys, but most of all, SKA’D FOR LIFE !!!

Wow, what a nostalgic trip down memory lane! The late 60s and early 70s sound like they were truly special for you as a skinhead. The fashion, music, and sense of community must have been incredible. Your passion for that era really shines through in your comment. Thanks for sharing your experience with us!

[@70tezskin]

​​​@@EmeraldSunDJ. They were very special times. The music The clothing. My memories are so clear . The dance hall on a Saturday night reggae playing. My friend's and I Skinheads. Skinhead Girls dancing . The strobe lighting picking out everyone all in slow motion.boots and braces . You cannot imagine how it really was back then. A time lost to the history books now but my memories are inside everyday. We were the luckiest generation. I am still a Skinhead today and writing about my life . Its great to go out now people still look at me .I stand out . Skinhead clothing has stood the test of time . Life is great .Older Wiser Prouder . Skinheads Life Would Never Be The Same. Albo

[@malcolmcog]

Skinheads started in East London in the late 60s, they were violent football fans that hated the hippies and the growing number of Pakistani immigrants into England. They were mostly dock workers that wore steel toecapped boots, Fred Perry polo shirts, straight legged jeans and braces. This style spread across working class England, skinheads hated Pakistanis, however some skinheads were West Indians, and the music of choice of Skinheads was and is Jamaican Reggae.

[@MrMichaelCavlan]

I was a skinhead before Doc Martins. When we wore steel toe cap boots w studded soles. Of course I was also in a housing estate northern Ireland. A Catholic, Nationalist one. In my own experience the skins at that time had no racism involved. It was about being working class. As an aside- I have not heard the term suede head in almost 40 years.
