Alextopman Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) Cuttsie, Slinney. An image of teddy boys on a Sheffield street. This was a popular dress code and hair style amongst this subculture in the 1950s. They were known as cheeky, Gangsta like youths that listened to rock N roll and RnB music but some just preferred the dress code.
