- Just here to say that I also think a photograph would be very helpful for this article. It is hard for someone (like me) who isn't familiar with the clothes to picture it just from the description. Recury 23:02, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Origins
Could do with some mention of the style's origins amongst young Guards officers andn in the Soho gay scene.86.0.203.120 23:53, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] I keep adding an image
But some asshole admin keeps deleting it, even though it perfectly captures the feel of the era. Miserlou 17:46, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry, but the picture does not tally with the description of Teddy Boys in the article. Read:
- Clothing consisted of long drape jackets, usually in dark shades, sometimes with velvet trim collar and pocket flaps, high-waisted 'drainpipe' trousers, chunky brogues and later large crepe-soled shoes, often suede (sometimes nicknamed brothel creepers). A high-necked loose 'Mr B' collar on a white shirt (as worn by jazz musician Billy Eckstine) was set off with a narrow 'Slim Jim' tie and a brocade waistcoat.
