Wearing docs because you were told it's the skinhead thing to do makes you seem like you're wearing a costume.

Similar to what >>7237402 &>>7237454 said, you can be /fa/ and draw influences from skinhead fashion, but dressing up like a skinhead verbatim just makes you look like an asshole.

Just take visual cues:
>oxblood boots and loafers
>cuffed jeans
>gingham button downs & slim-fit polos in classic colors
>pull overs and cardies.

That's a pretty broad pallet to work with, and if you actually give your selections a bit of thought you'll get the point across. Lastly, don't even bother with bracers or cropping your hair.

wtevr, it's ugly on every boot, I also don't get the rolled jeans sleeves thing.

Gotta show off your boots and keep your cuffs dry. Gotta keep your sleeves out of the machinery.

There wasn't a lot that was radical about the traditional skinhead movement. Neo Nazis yeah, but we're not talking about them (though SHARP could be called radical with their aggressive upholding of the traditional ways in responsive to the Neo Nazis)

They were radical for their time. They also lack the /fa/ factor of the more radical groups you mentioned. My thesis has been proven.

>white laces
That one statement has always been an area of contention in the skinhead world. Some skins avoid it because they think it means you identify with the White Power movement, but I've also seen trad skins sporting them who think the whole "laces code" system is inherently flawed and stupid.

I'm curious what you mean by this, or did you mean radical purely in the capacity reactionary fashion sense?
