Trojan skinhead

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Trojan Skinheads (also known as Traditional Skinheads or Trads) are individuals who identify with the skinhead subculture's heyday in the late 1960s, when ska music was at its most popular in the United Kingdom, and there was a heavy emphasis on clothing style.

Named after the record label Trojan Records, these skinheads identify with the subculture's Jamaican Rude Boy and British working class mod roots, (sometimes called the Spirit of 69). In addition to ska, they are often fans of rocksteady, early reggae and soul music. Because of their appreciation of black culture, they tend to be non-racist, unlike the later white power faction of skinheads.

They usually dress in typical 1960s skinhead style, including items such as: button-up Ben Sherman shirts; Fred Perry polo shirts; braces, fitted suits; cardigan sweaters; sweater vests; Harrington jackets and Crombie-style overcoats. Hair is generally between a 2 and 4 grade clip-guard (short, but not bald), in contrast to the shorter-haired punk-influenced Oi! skins of the 1980s.
