† TEDDY BOYS
† BEN WATTS ~ TEDDY BOYS
"Anarchy in a three piece suit"
Teddy Boys were the first youth group in England to differentiate themselves as teenagers, helping create a youth market. The trend arose as income increased after the war. Teddy Boy clothing included drape jackets, usually in dark shades, sometimes with a velvet trim collar and pocket flaps, and high-waist "drainpipe" trousers, often exposing the socks. Favoured footwear included highly polished Oxfords, chunky brogues, and crepe-soled shoes, often suede, known as brothel creepers. Preferred hairstyles included long, strongly-moulded greased-up hair with a quiff at the front and the side combed back to form a duck's arse at the rear.
