I certainly did get it! I will post pictures maybe tonight.. I might have a lot of trouble getting it to show up well due to lighting... There are certainly issues with it and the more I study golden era suits there are things that bug me about what I have. For instance, I'd prefer a much...
no problem, my pleasure! Please do remember all my comments about them are as general and/or stereotypical as possible. No one fits into the mold entirely, but that's the mold anyways :)
1st - I've also heard they got their name from Elvis' Teddy Bear song but truly, they existed pre-r'n'r in the early 50's and their name is based of of the Edwardian (or Ted for short) look they took over.
2nd - I'm not completely sure. The Ted's original golden era was the 50's while the...
Crazy Cavan & the Rhythm Rockers, one of the first and absolutely one of the best teddy boy bands circa mid '70's out of Wales...
Lou Cifer & the Hellions 90's and modern band from Germany...
German Ted family...
Just love these guys style, Dad & Daughter...
You sir - get me through my week! Thanks so much! I've been listening for the better part of the year, and new episodes are what I look forward to each work day! I have a hard time picking a favorite episode, I really like the 4 hour or so collaboration you did with the guy from shake a tail...
Nice! I've never been able to manage an elephant's trunk haircut, but always loved the look! I wanted to get a midnight blue 3 piece drape suit in wool as opposed to the more synthetic cheaper suit materials but they're atleast 700 to 1200 bucks! Atleast that's the price if you're not 65...
WOW! Great story Alan! Thanks for sharing! Do you think it's surprising to see folks who grew up with it in the 50's still going strong? I met a good bunch of them and they were really down to earth good people with tons of passion.
another line regarding "Rope"
Do any of those suits though scream post-war '47/'48? (the year the film was produced/released) I wouldn't think so and yet there they are.
you want more, you got more! :p
really the whole cast is sporting terrific suits, and I think the color process on the film seems to give everything an otherworldly life to it.
100% never made it to the colonies! Which I think, is part of the appeal. They don't mix with other groups in England and Europe really, it's very self sufficient. And the best thing is they dont' seem to ever fall out of it. Some of these guys are 70 years old, are tattooed all over their...
I think the cartoonish nature of them became pop culture for a while but it's not the case anymore, most people wear really classy looking ones in my opinion, look at the picture of the young-ish guy on his own in sun glasses above as an example.
I'm sorry my pictures of me and my drapes aren't...
he's been doing that for a few years now with more or less success to the recordings. Motorhead has always had a british 50's r'n'r foundation to their music. More recently, as in, in the last week or two, he's been backed by Rev. Horton Heat. I wonder how the Rev feels actually having the...
Pardon me if this is a bit off topic, but these are people who absolutely love their suits and are well worth a mention.
I'm curious how many people here are familiar with the English subculture of Teddy Boys?
They predate Rock'n'Roll by a few years. They're commonly referred to as the 1st...
