    great song

  • You might wanna try JONES bootmakers or RUSSELL and BROMLEY. Got my Oxfords and Gibsons from there. Most good shopping centres or Malls have these stores.

  • Monkey Boots in Black, Brown, and Cherry Red are still available on places like Ebay too. Sometimes known as (Dockers) I also remember that Shirts other than Ben Sherman were on the market too. Jaytex and Skyline were doing the rounds then. Not as smart as Benny's but still looked ok and were slightly cheaper.

  • Loved that at :59 - my ol' man had to do this many a time at Charlton FC - home and away.

    Pity the poor sod whoever picked up his DMs by mistake. Dont think they had Odour Eaters in the early 70s!

    Still love this

  • @1960gal Oops! should have read 'late 70s!'

  • Didn't do much fighting with other Skins tough. Just Greasers mainly. Saturdays were kept to having a go with other fans at the Lane. Good times though. Funny how we can talk about it together thesedays. Some things never leave you. Like how to dress for a casual day, then tog up in the Mohair Suits for the local Disco's in the evenings. Happy days. Wish they would come back but i'm just a sentimental old git at heart..!!!!!

  • Prince of Wales check pants, black blazer with a 16" vent up the back and 6 silver buttons on each cuff and a Crombi on a cold night.

  • Lacing up my brand new steel toe capped cherry red boots, carefully turning up the ends of my levi jeans, making sure the creases on the back of my Ben Sherman shirt was straight along with my 3/4inch braces bought from Woolworths & stinking of Brut....The good life.....1969

  • @Dancinglikejagger Nice one,mate,like it.But just look at the so called chav,s and pikeys now, with their caps back to front, the shell suits, the fucking manky trainers, the Jeremy Kyle generation. Give me late sixties eary seventies,any time.i,m off now to polish up my Docs.Take it easy,mate.Long live the Skins.

  • @Dancinglikejagger I'll have some of that too mate. Skinhead till i fukkin die..!!!! I'ts all shite these days. We were really smartly togged out then. Unlike these wretches of today..!!!

  • @ONLY1TOTTENHAM Yeah totally agree...no offence are you a yid? I'm a staunch Chels.....Hands across the water & all that..I agree, Its bollocks these days...This country is losing its identity.....I feel so deflated.....so upset that we are being overtaken by these nobodys

  • @Dancinglikejagger Yes mate. Spurs till i die. Hand is out for you though so aint got a prob with you being Chelsea. Just nice to find a site to share comments with fellow Skins.

  • @Dancinglikejagger I'm 57 and i'm still wearing a long Crombie with Levis and Black Royal Brogues..!!! Highly polished of course..!! That's just to go shopping wiv the Girlfriend..!! She always reckons that she likes being on my arm when we go anywhere. Makes me feel proud to hear that..!!!

  • @ONLY1TOTTENHAM Tell us, where do you get your Brogues these day? I have looked everywhere on the netf for a pr for the Big Fella, but can only find some Loakes that are remotely like the originals. {I remember having a beautiful pr of cherry red boys loafers that I wore with a tonic skirt in 1979!)

  • @1960gal I get my Royals or (Squires) as they are often called, direct from Loakes in Northampton. There are other sites that sell em and they are the real deal. Usually sell for around £120...£140... but it's money well spent and they really are the Dogs Bollocks..!! They aint changed the design at all in all these years and they are still prob the best pair of Brogues you will ever buy. Smart when polished. They are perfect with Levis or Trousers.

  • Where are the skinheads now!!! LADS

  • @007sounds Most of us so called originals are in our late 50's early 60's now....Grandad Skinheads...lol

  • @007sounds Alive & kickin mate, 45yrs old and still living the life just fatter & greyer lol!

  • @007sounds u mug

  • I was still wearing a crombie and porkpie hat in 1984..my mates donning the fashions of the time and took the piss royal. didn't stop me ...skin till I die !!!

  • antifaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­ rudboyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

  • Oi !

    

  • i was a skin head suede head boot boy from stoke where the torch night club was the mecca for mod then skins best days of my life i would give 6 months of my life now for one friday or saturday

  • What is that music called?

  • @DuchessAndTheCougar1 "liquidator" by Harry J all stars

  • seem to remember the only fighting, we did,,,,, was against other skins! organised battles.

  • i dont get it. skinhead reggae? it doesnt make sense. reggae comes from rastafari, and rastafari is related to judaism. also reggae comes to Jamaica where there are black people. isnt it the opposite or something?

  • @andrewsk8rsolomon No, the original skinhead culture is from the UK and was a combnation of working class style, mod style, and Jamaica rude-boy style. The music was soul, reggae and ska - black music mostly. Original skinhead was about being smart, working class, and into cool music, and not being a long-haired hippy. Original skinhead was black and white.

  • @andrewsk8rsolomon Skinheads weren't racist in those days. That's only something that's come out of these neo Nazi movements of recent times. I was a skinhead for a while in the 70's but race never came into it, it was all about soul music and reggae and ska. Even the violence was overhyped by the media - it sold papers.

  • brings back memories. thanks.

  • I was as skin in 69, born in 67 !! love love love the music and scene wish I was truely around for the original movement like my dad, but live the MOD movement and lifestyle today. Keep the faith brothers !!

  • ado blount , johnny grey , rick hallam, diddy n joe  strathen , scott ellis , jue , dean , scot charlton ,col duro reaspect called for ILKESTON SKINS 1970S

  • funny, i was a yid and a skin`ed. went to goonerville wiv my gooner mates back in the day. we were told to take out our laces as well. kopt a deafun. great ruck, last game of the season trad, against your own fans down the clock end. happy daze x

  • @lisathumper So you're a thug basically. You diss the true nature of the culture. Wanker

  • @veda1954 Sorry to burst your cultural bubble love, but when in wankerville......

  • @lisathumper What's up love, vocabulary run out?

  • @veda1954 Not really, I know Ju-jitsu, Karate, Thai Kwando and loads of other foreign words!

  • @lisathumper What's your point? In fact don't answer that, You're not worthy of my time.

  • @veda1954 oh my, i'm so sorry sweetheart. no offence, Damn it, in fact ur right, don't read this, there is no point...suicide? u don't have the time and there's no way i'm worthy, cute cheeks.

  • ARRRRSENAL

  • suedhead now.....oi 1969

  • For more on the subject read Stewart Home's early books 

  • A lot of us were Skinheads in '68....

  • Comment removed

  • when a skinhead walks down the street Cheers to all my skinhead brothers and sisters greetings from switzerland CHEERS Oi Oi Oi.

  • Great nights out dancing at the Crown and Cushion Perry Barr .Standing in the Holt end supporting your team without your cherry reds on as the police made every one take their boots off and carry them so there wasn't any trouble.Good times great friends.Oi

  • @suecstar or up the Tilton road

  • I can say for definate that the vast majority of skinheads i knew all ended up with far right views and supported far right policies. In fact i don't recall any of them being left of centre politically.

  • In my day skinheads wore boots, braces, two toned suits, brogues and crombies and listened to reggae music and we all got on. They were sharp!

  • When I was a teenager I was a mod and I hung around with all my mates who were all Skins. The real skinheads weren't these racist neo nazi muppets who stole the skins identity. My skinhead mates and me were into Bob Marley, Ska, Reggae, we all loved the Specials, Jimmy Cliff, The Selecter, Trojan records and the colour of your skin didn't even come into it.

  • What band and song is this? Really good stuff.

  • Brilliant real skins not like the plastic ones of 1980.

  • Yesterdays chavs ....

  • bring back the skins, dread

  • That picture with the pig running after a skin looks som funny :D

  • Bash the Fash...Sharp!!!

  • SUP FROM LONG BEACH SkinheadS!!!

  • The picture at 1:24 has nothing to do with '69. It is of Burton On Trent Mods in the 80's....

    Otherwise, good take on the era.

  • WBAFC

  • I was raised thinking "Skinhead" meant ANY racist. My freshman year in highschool, i met a guy named Diego, who was skin/suede, and he taught me the truth, got me into real, good ska, and taught me so much.When i told my father about this, he immediately told me to stop talking to him, thinking Diego was a neo-Nazi.A year later, I'm sitting here, showing this video to my dad, with a brand new pair of DM's on and a freshly shaved head.I passed on what Diego taught me to my dad:Truth & Tollerance.

  • @mcxznbv Fictional story of the month award contender!!!

  • @2Xensemble Closed-minded cockhugger finalist! Why would I lie about something like that on the internet? It won't do anything but make me feel like shit for making things up that arent true.

  • @mcxznbv an inclination toward your true feelings?I never heard of this "cockhugger" action before now, could you please help to expand my mind on the thoughts or actions one needs to engage in to achieve this cock hugging... also is their consequences of this cockhugging? ....wait a second...... are you implying I like to "hug" another mans cock??? ....ahh I see what you did there... funny but isn't that a bit racist don't you think.? what happened to "Truth & Tollerance" ?? btw spell Tolerance

  • @2Xensemble i'm not going to go through and point out all of your grammar mistakes to counter my one. it's not worth arguing over. fuck off.

  • @mcxznbv Who said anything about grammar? What's with the attitude? Turning fascist? or are just you another repressed homosexual who feels they need to assert their sexuality by means of insinuation & Dock Martin's? (nothing meant against DM's)

  • @2Xensemble why can such nice memories and mutual respect be turned to hatred so easily? - last two comments!

  • @saffonia by mutual respect I assume you are referring to @mcxznbv lovely cockhugger comment

  • @mcxznbv

    You are a long way from The Isle of Dogs, where skinhead meant kick the shit out of pakkis, queers, hippies and coppers.

  • @mcxznbv Agree with you, bro. Stop the prejudice against us.

  • @mcxznbv Too right, we've got a fair few skinheads in the Scottish Anti-Fascist Alliance who join us on our marches to oppose racism and extreme right-wing politics. FYI anyone in Scotland who opposes fascism, a number of racist organisations will be marching through Glasgow on Saturday (25th Feb,) we will be there having a counter-demo starting on Buchannan St at 10:30 am, join us and we'll show them that Scoland has no place for their irrational hate.

  • CFC!!!!!!!

  • Trojans Unite Oi!

  • where are all the brown skinheads? lol oi!

  • skinhead 4 life

    

  • Wow. I  had no idea. I'm really blown away.

  • @harrythedog3 LMFAO nice.

  • MOD SKIN HIPPIE

  • bad ass shit

    

  • you didnt go around shouting white power where we grew up, only the boys from the all white suburbs did that....the anti nazi league was run by middle class whites, the nf was run by homosexuals all bullshit to us.

  • when you lived and grew up in areas with large black communities you would tend to keep your views on racism to yourself,we fought with other skins more than we did with our jamaican cousins.

  • Spirit of '69 is still alive!

  • @destroybabylon420

    white power?! dont get into the sun and lose your white power asshole, Golden Shower on white power! Skinhead power! Oi!

  • @SmashThaNaziscum it was a joke asshole!

    

  • @destroybabylon420

    sorry, but i was not sure, everything is possible.

  • no boneheads no racism no fascism...Just SKINHEADS

  • Late into the game, '74, 13 years old. Saved the paper round money. Crombie with the breast pocket lining neatly out with a stud through, razor blades sewn under the lapels (not that I'd really want anyone to cut their fackin fingers on 'em, it was just the "thing" to do) Benny, Sta-prest (never needs ironing, the label said, but you always did, ironed 'em as sharp as those razors). Brogues, loafers, or shiny cherry red docs, and this track shakin the walls down the YM disco. 'Kin ace mate.

  • The pic at 1:21 (skin with mods on the bench) is one of the earliest known pics of a skinhead, taken in 1967.

  • i am a rocker and allways have been, turned 50 now, but the only other culture i respected was that of the skinhead family. like rockers, they stood up not only for themselves, but for their way of life. like rockers, they backed each other up no matter what the odds. much respect to the skinhead movement, like rockers, they will never be forgotten. respect to you all, each and every one of you, its been a pleasure to share my world with you.

  • @yamahonduki Well said Sir. I'll be 44 in June. My recent awakening to a traditional Skinhead lifestyle has brought me full circle to this culure. I'm a Trad. No racism, no bullshit. Just the music, the look, the life. Hope all is well with you and yours.

  • Great times then been a skinhead and football hooligan . Now feeling old in my 50s when i listen to this great music.

  • I heard this in GTA London 1969!!!!

  • I am 43(44 in June)and I am brand new to the Skinhead lifestyle-TRAD that is! I'm proud to be Canadian, Irish/English ancestors, working class ethic...and wearing my braces and boots...no time for for bonehead nonsense. Plus no one hassles me cuzz they can tell by talking to me I'm a non-rascist-no nonsense kind of person.

  • 1st record on radio luxembourg new years day 1971 was skinheed moonstomp.when barbers opened had my first skinhead cut.mum went mad-boots&rolled up levis went out the door!best day of my life.we were not racist and still not..loved the friendships we had and still have.still a skinhead at heart and always will be.love the ska&reggae still and love the old pictures on here,don't have any pictures couldn;t afford a camera!

  • @glennyshock great comment, I think we had the same mum haha,, I live in Canada now, and it's so difficult to tell people I was a skinhead, because what skinheads are in USA, and what they represent, you never see them dressed in brogues, red/white socks, sta press or mo hair, and crombie with hankie in pocket. We were just fashionable kids, not angels though

  • where all the black people??????

    :P

  • @benisme123 in africa

  • @benisme123 in da studio

  • skinhead reggae love !!

  • I can remember Being a Skinhead first in1968/69 The movement was working class and territorial not everybody was into agro but would try to handle it if it came their way.

    Levis or Sta pressed strides Dr Marten's Boots (Ox Blood) Ben Sherman or Brutus Shirts. Sheepskin or Black Crombie Coat,Harrington jackets, Mohair suits Royals ,Gibson Shoes.and of course Reggae Music

    The Movement was young people their music and Fashion

  • CHELSEA!

  • Great to see the pics again after 41 years, I was 16 and a skinhead girl and wore all the gear - two tone suits, skirts, dresses, jackets, prince of wales coats, skirts, ben sherman check shirts, braces, white cut off trousers, and big boots, I though I was the bee's knees! I have never seen any two tone material since, it was fantastic, went all the way to brixton from Northampton most weekends to buy my clothes and reggae records. Went to the Carrabean Music festival at Wembley every year.

  • somehow i only see white ppl everywhere. i didnt know they invented skinhead reggae. it s like it s a bad thing to show the people who really started skinhead music, then tell me, what s different from these skinhead vids with racist skinhead vids? i d very much like to join this idea of unity ppl have going, but i just keep seeing the same bullshit everywhere :( it s like even when u guys try to have the right intentions, subconsciously u ll still upgrade yourselves from everybody else

  • @smukase - thats a fair comment, i reckon.....

  • real ska

  • love reggae & punk. Oi from Newcastle

  • then why the fuck u listening to real oi! the real skinhead and oi movement has nothing to do with race or politics, so shut the fuck up. real skins arent nazis, or white trash kkk like yourself idiot, do your research!

  • Type Cantril Farm in google, go to Images and you'll see me and my football team in 1969 :¬)

  • REAL SKINHEADS IS NAZI SKINHEADS!!! SHARP&RASH= MADE IN MOSAD!!!88

  • @otoskorceni Have you been fucked in the ear? The Original Skinheads grew off Black Music. How the fuck can racists enjoy Jamaican culture?

  • I`m 53 too, and l still wear my gear, shame there are`nt many re-union weekend do`s, Great music always lives on

  • great pix m8. wish i was\back there again, brought a tear to my eyes, loved and lived the fashion. im 53 now but still dress in my levis, docs, white grandad shirt, dont wear me red braces anymore though, praps i should? cheers n stay lucky. nazi scum get your own fashion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!
