Anarcho-skinheads are the anarchist skinheads. They are sympathetic to the anti-fascism and militant working class stance. There are many anarcho-skinheads who are not in any crew/organization, some who are involved with explicitly anarchist crews like ASAP - Anarchist Skins and Punks - in the USA and FASH - Federacion Anarco-Skinhead - in Spain and parts of Latin America, and some who are just with non political or other kinds of crews - the Baldies were a crew in Minneapolis with anarchist members, some are in R.A.S.H. - Red and Anarchist Skinheads' chapters, and all sorts of different crews.

Anarcho-skinhead style[edit]

Anarcho-skinhead style is not much different from the regular skinhead style. The only differences are that anarcho-skinheads tend to adopt a little more Punk styles such as a lot of band t-shirts and studded belts. Anarcho-skinheads also apply their politics to their style. With the "lace and braces" rule, most tend to go for red signifying the color of socialism.

Tops[edit]

  • Men: Fred Perry, Lonsdale, Ben Sherman, Band T shirts.
  • Women: same as for the guys.
  • Men Tops: Fred Perry, Ben Sherman, T shirts Band:.
  • Les femmes mêmes que pour les gars.

Coats[edit]

-Flight/Bomber Jackets. Normal colors are Green and Black, occasionally dark blue. In the 90s it was possible to see male skins wearing burgundy, but this is mainly for girls now. Also in the past French redskins were known to wear their flights inside out with the orange exposed, the cause of this is to difference them from boneheads (source: "antifa chasseurs de skin" documentary). Either way they often have patches, pins and embroidery.

-Denim jackets. Normally faded blue color. Sometimes these are bleached. They are also often customized with pins and patches.

Harringtons-These are less common in the US scene. They are a more dressier coat and normally work plain, or with a few pins.

Bottoms[edit]

  • Men: tight pants; levi 501s are common as are stretch pants.
  • Women: tight pants or miniskirts

Footwear[edit]

Boots are the most common form of skinhead footwear. Dr. Martens and Grinders are common. Skin girls also wear Monkey boots. Anything from 3 to 20 eyes can be found but 8, 10 and 14 eyelets are the most common. Some groups of skinheads associate a meaning with the colors of one's shoelaces.

Laces[edit]

Yellow, black, blue, red, white

Hats[edit]

Travelling caps; cloth caps; worker-caps; Bowlers; pork pie hats; scally (Benny in the UK) caps; "flat caps" (driver's caps); or rocker-caps.

Braces[edit]

Braces are worn with tight trousers, sometimes upright, sometimes hanging to the sides. Some groups of skinheads associate the colors of the braces and shoelaces on a skinhead with a certain meaning, though these meanings can differ by region. In most parts of North America, red braces are worn by anarchist skinheads.

Hair[edit]

  • Men: Cut short, sometimes, although rarely, shaved bald.
  • Women: Usually a chelsea; some skinbyrds have short hair like the men.

Music[edit]

Music tastes are relatively the same as punk tastes: Ska, Rocksteady, Reggae, Oi!, and Punk.

Popular anarcho-skinhead bands[edit]

NOTE: Not all of these bands would call themselves "Anarcho-Skin". They are just bands that many anarcho-skins tend to listen to. Several of these are Red (communist) skinhead bands.
