You’d have a hard time finding a skinhead whose never heard the name Richard Allen. Not a lot is known about him though, so this documentary from the BBC should help out with that.

Icons of Mens Style


One of the best presents I received this year, courtesy of my lovely other half Deanna. Icons of Mens Style covers all the bases from harringtons to loafers. And it is incredibly refreshing to read a book covering men’s style that doesn’t completely ignore the massive influence subcultures like mod and skinhead had on making some of these items popular and stylistic staples. Bravo Mr. Sims.
