Although characterised by some of the same items as
British skinhead fashion (
flight jackets;
Ben Sherman shirts or
Fred Perry shirts; rolled up jeans; suspenders; and
combat boots or
Dr. Martens boots), hardcore skinhead dress is considerably less strict than
traditional skinhead style. Items that have been popular in the hardcore skinhead subculture include:
leather jackets, army jackets, windbreaker jackets, hooded sweatshirts,
bandanas, baseball caps, white "wifebeater" shirts, looser jeans (perhaps torn at the knee), heavy chains worn as belts, and construction or rigger's gloves. Trainer
sneakers, in particular
Adidas Sambas, have been popular. They always have shaved heads, or they are not skinheads. ==Bibliography==
