Us NYHC brats wore black Docs only. Of course the ultimate posers wore tartan doc Martins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While most Official Punx™ are Royal Stewart, there is a dispensation from Punk Central® for western branches to use a more scenery-blending greeneyblue with black tartan... And punk guitarists are allowed scruffy flat caps and beards if they're from Mansfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I always preferred the blue/green tartan, like what Rotten used to wear. Must be my Celtic blood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's Black Watch tartan, which anyone can wear. Lydon always plays by the rules, 😉 he's an aristo after all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're they green when you bought them or did that colour develop a couple decades later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Really irritated about my docs. They have a zip in the side and although that has been fixed, the insole came away and the bottom is falling apart. I keep looking but they don't do side zips any more like these. Only a few years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBass Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Girls with Doc Martens! In my day, punk girls wore Monkey boots, it was the blokes that wore Doc Martens. If you were a skinhead girl and wanted to look hard you might have worn Doc Martens maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
