Thick black hair combed into a big quif, long jacket and tight jeans. boot-lace tie and crepe-soled shoes. The 'down-side' of these guys (gangs) were they were known for carrying 'flick-knives' and knuckledusters. |

Although those in England I think were a bit more aggressive. Otherwise the mannerisms and the hair combing etc., were very similar. |

If anything it was really only about a rather nifty suit, swede chukka boots and a decent hair style. Hair styles of today are mostly rubbish because the lazy b....y kids can't be bothered to get up in the morning, wash, or yet pull a comb through their hair! There, that should wind a few up! Lol |

No my Sam is 16 and is a jeans and sneakers kind of girl, but cleans up nicely when she has too. No makeup, easy hair...she's very naturally pretty. |
