We did some more primary research by taking a trip to savile row where they had tailored suits all over the little road. I believe this is where the rude boys would’ve got their suits or at-least strive to live this glamourous lifestyle

Punk morphed with reggae in 2 Tone, and its fans took the name Rude Boys. The figure sporting a decent suit and pork pie hat on the 2 Tone record label was known as Walt Jabsco and the drawing of him was based on a photo of the Wailers’ Peter Tosh, these 2 Tone rude boys skanked in a mix of mod and skinhead fashions to up-tempo songs that often had downbeat subject matter. This swept up many pop fans but, as ever, reggae was doing its own thing.

Jamaicans were very good at putting on parties and the white kids that went along developed their own style. Bands like the Beat and the Specials adopted reggae and mixed it in with punk, so it crossed over a lot.”

The legacy of these generations is rooted in the triumph over circumstance, a testament to the resilience and resistance of the Jamaican spirit. “You know what they say,” adds Boot, “you need hard times and stress to make good music.”

The twins are now in their early 50s. They still dress alike and to this day, they still reportedly have never gained any qualifications or had a full-time job. And yet, they still look like a million bucks. They’re local legends.

Going the 9 to 5 route they say, “would have meant we would not be as free as we are to think what we want, read what we want, say what we want. We would never have wanted that.”

In 1976, however, racial tensions were running high, due largely in part to the police’s ‘stop and search’ policy. Three thousand police officers – 10 times the usual number – were assigned to the Notting Hill Carnival.

According to police reports, on August 30, the last day of the festivities, officers attempted to arrest a pickpocket near Portobello Road. A number of carnival-goers – both black and white – came to the pickpocket’s aid and within minutes, this incident escalated into violence. Other witnesses later said that the presence of white fascist gangs had also contributed to the riot.

The police made 66 arrests – and in a subsequent trial, which cost a record £250,000, 17 black youths were charged. Only two were convicted.

Bob Marley—long before he grew locks—he has very short hair and he’s dressed in a black suit with a white shirt and a black tie. In Jamaica, that is what would have been called a Rude Boy, someone who kind of felt himself stylish. I’ve always felt [the look] was taken very much from that 1960s styling that was around then that you could see in all kinds of TV shows and people like Malcolm X, who kind of dressed like that as well.

Frontwoman of the Selecter, a politicized two-tone ska revival band formed in the late ’70 that is still making people dance, is no stranger to fashion. She famously played with androgyny by adapting the tailored, mod-ish Rude Boy style to her own stylish purposes while performing music that was a pointed response to Thatcherism in ’80s Britain. It’s safe to say that pussy-cat bows and big handbags have never been her thing—nor frocks for that matter.

During the 70s, "Rude girls"/ women didnt really intergrate with the whole rude boy look.

1976, Pauline was singing in local pubs, earning £10 a gig. Then one day in May 1979, she went to a rehearsal with a group of friends and left as the lead singer with the Selecter. A few months later, the band had their first hit, On My Radio. Within seven weeks of being a fully formed band, the Selecter were supporting the likes of Madness and the Specials and Pauline was being hailed as the Queen of Ska.

If you happened to have lived in North London at any point between the early 1970s to this day, around the Islington & Highbury tube station specifically, there’s a good chance you might have seen these dapper chaps, Chet and Joe Okonkwo, a.k.a, the “Islington Twins”.

For my primary research i decided to interview my Nan as she grew up in the 70s.

Do you remember Rude boys?

Oh yes, they wore pork pie hats and chromby coats,ben sherman shirts and dressed very smart. They kind of had a between of Mod and skin heads.
It was like all the looks intergrated into one.

What was the music like back then?

They listened to a lot of Ska music, the specials were the biggest band at the time and was a mix of black and white men.

Did the skinheads and Rude boys get on?

In some ways yes, the music used to bring everyone together, but there was a lot of racism back then aswell.

Did you know any rude boys?

yes, but im not going to tell you any names.

Any other interesting facts?

Rudie, ruby, and rudi are all slan words for rude boys and rude boys usually cfame from poorer backgrounds and were a bit lawless if that helps.

TROJAN RECORDS
RUDEBOY tells the story of Trojan Records by placing it at the heart of a cultural revolution that unfolded in the council estates and shanty towns of the late 60’s and 70’s. The film begins in the 1950’s, as Jamaica is slowly transitioning to its eventual independence in 1962. We meet Duke Reid and his legendary Trojan sound system and explore the social and cultural conditions that give rise to the birth of the rude boy, the emergence of sound-system culture and the rise of the distinctive Jamaican sound ska
