History Of the Teddy Boys!
Teddy boys were first developed in the early
1950’s in England .
In the beginning they weren’t known as “Teddy Boys”, they were actually teenage
gangs in the East End of London called “Cash Boys”. They were recognized
wearing long jackets with a velvet collar and cuffs drain-pipe trousers (Pants)
like Edward VII (1901-1910), bright ankle socks and slim Jim tie. They had
long, greased hair that they always combed back. Cash boys were very
frightening to the English society; fights against the police, robberies, and
razor attacks. After World War II a new look broke out in England influenced by the American
culture, these Cash Boys were now called “Teddy Boys”.
