A look through the 1979 first Edition of The Teds by photographer Chris Steele Perkins & writer Richard Smith.

The Teddy Boys were a flashily dressed, rebellious, and sometimes violent youth movement that originated in Britain in the '50s. The three-quarter-length Edwardian jacket with velvet collar, drainpipe trousers, and quiff became a focus of male fashion which still holds cult status today. The Teds combines image and text to tell their story--a fascinating tale spanning three decades.
