I was giving some more thought to the appropriation by the mainstream of proper skinhead gear, and how Ben Sherman has sorta gone to crap, and how I have to scour fancy shops for the quality Italian/English made Fred Perry gear as of late–which then led me to the Fred Perry online shop, which sorta makes me grimace with how its filled to the brim with sorta foppish dandy-types rather than images of lad or byrds like these. Its not that I don’t have a great love for our mod and suede headed brethren, its just be nice to see these brands, which many a skinhead has given long support to, could just give back… even a little… new byrd picts after the jump…
