Scorcha! Skins, Suedes and Style from the Streets 1967-1973
By Paul 'Smiler' Anderson and Mark Baxter
According to Ted Kessler...
If you have any interest in the history of British youth culture, I recommend getting hold of Scorcha!: Skins, Suedes and Style From The Streets 1967 -1973, a hefty book by Paul Anderson and Mark Baxter that explores the rise of first the suedeheads and then the skinheads on British streets. It’s a fascinating, lovingly compiled piece tracking in detail the fade from the musicality of the modish, ska-loving suedeheads – who were bravely swimming against the prevailing hippy tide in 1967 – into the more brutish skinheads. The attention to interview detail and mountains of picture research is monumental

Foreword by Suggs
'I thought it was a great cultural movement, the music, the look, they’re things that have shaped who I am' Paul Weller
'The skin-suede era was the most rigorously smart and pedantically correct in the history of working class street style.' Robert Elms
Levis, Ben Sherman, Crombie. Reggae, rocksteady, soul. The look and sound of Suedeheads – instantly recognisable in the sixties and early seventies – had a long-lasting impact on British style.
Scorcha!: Skins, Suedes and Style from the Streets 1967–73 delves into the roots, rise and fall of the Suedeheads and their close companions the Skinheads. Covering topics from fashion and football to the influence of black music and culture, the book draws on first-hand accounts from the original skin-suede generation and later adopters, such as Paul Weller and Norman Jay MBE.
Featuring a foreword by Suggs and jam-packed with iconic images, this is the definitive visual history of the Suedehead way of life.
