For those not in the know, Don Letts, with help from Fred Perry, has recently produced a series of short episodes focusing on various subcultures with links to the Fred Perry brand. Believe it or not we’ve posted the skinhead episode here. While the documentary certainly leaves a lot to be desired, it’s interesting to see Fred Perry finally acknowledge it’s past history with the skinhead subculture as it seems that has become a taboo word for many classic skinhead brands as of late. There is definitely better out documentaries out there and most of the footage is recycled but let’s face it, everyone will probably at least give it a look.
