Another picture to have popped up courtesy of Style Forum. Despite the caption, these lads aren’t from London’s East End but rather Bristol’s. By a lot of accounts skinheads would have been gone in London by 1970 and even suedeheads would have been becoming fewer and far between. Meanwhile throughout the country things happened at a different pace with this lot almost all considered skinheads while the look may have classified them as suedeheads in London at the time. Either way these kids have “The Look” down better than many grown men in the scene nowadays.

Great clip of some of Bristol’s West Indian population dancing the rocksteady in 1968. Classic stuff!
