Teddy Boys - Max Decharne
From the Edwardian origins of their fashion to the tabloid fears of delinquency, drunkenness and disorder, the story of the Teds throws a fascinating light on a British society that was still reeling from the Second World War.
With their draped suits, suede creepers and immaculately greased hair, the Teddy Boys defined a new era for a generation of teenagers raised on a diet of drab clothes, Blitz playgrounds and tinned dinners.
In the 1950s, working-class teenagers found a way of asserting themselves in how they dressed, spoke and socialised on the street.
Teddy Boys is the story of Britain's first youth counterculture.
