Maybe 72. Milk Bar Clockwork Orange reference.

[@markangus3252]

Not real suedeheads by a country mile. Just actors who've been asked to portray suedeheads. For a real suedehead see the eponymous character in Bronco Bullfrog. He was the real deal.

[@cubicinches18]

That's the sort of media portrayal we had to put up with, which of course was like throwing petrol on a fire.

​@@cubicinches18 The terrible acting here really kills it. Still much neater than the mutant horrors that arrived during the late 70s early 80s so called revival. Punks with shaved heads in effect. Glue sniffing scruffy wasters. Seeing punks fighting mods fighting grebos fighting skins circa 79/80 & beyond was rather a pitiful spectacle. Those days of outta control unemployment massive job losses the start of rampant greed Yuppie culture following the grim grey days of the mid to late 70s

@@richardingamells7213 I was in Australia by 1972 so my memories are of stunted at the winter of 1971. It was cropped hair with a shaved in part, jeans, braces, Ben Sherman shirt, shod with either DM's or Brogues and in winter a Cromby. I never carried weapons.

Not in that paisley hippy shirt he was.

Skinhead or Suedehead?

[@simontemplar1]

I forgot just how corny corry was

[@AndreasEhmke-oz8eb]

Suedeheads?

[@Clusters3rdStrikeArc]

A popular name for skins before they were called skins, and from what I know, no.2 shave was what most of them usually had/wore, not shaved right down, thus, suedeheads.

[@monkeyspanner8172]

@@Clusters3rdStrikeArc Suedehead came after skinhead

[@Clusters3rdStrikeArc]

@@monkeyspanner8172 Ye sure? They were/are both interchangeable, but as far as I knew suedehead was before.

[@bluenose007]

@@Clusters3rdStrikeArc No because i was both as we got older

[@gadblatz4841]

There was a lot of overlap and at the end of the day they were all mods. Looking back it was a somewhat distinct cult from Skinhead and took shape later, by a few years, than the first wave of Skinheads. I wasn't there, though. Hopefully some og's weigh in.
