Mods and Rockers of the 60s

The two main stereotypical groups of the 60s were the Mods and the Rockers.

Mod style :- generally wore Parkers or Harrington jackets, Stay press trousers, Fred Perry t-shirts, Apollo boots, 501 Jeans, Gibson shoes, they rode scooters usually Vespas and were usually in large groups and disliked the other subculture 'Rockers'. Most of this info has come from my dad who was a mod, and who is now reminiscing on his mod times... Think ill leave him to it!

Rocker style :- generally wore Leather Jackets, mostly black clothing, skinny jeans, leather trousers, Large biker boots, and rode round in large groups on motorbikes like Triumph Motorcycles.

The Mods and The Rockers clashed a lot of the time and there were a lot of fights. An example of a film that follows these two groups very closely is QUADROPHENIA. I prefer the Mod subculture and fashion throughout this time.
