skinhead gear

Over the years my jobs have not allowed me to wear my skinhead gear to work. Apart from when I was in the military where I wore the Disruptive Pateren Uniform, this was the only time I felt like I was dressed as a skinhead. Other jobs I had to wear a uniform but I always wore my boots, much to the discust of many of my employers.

Now I have a job as a bus driver, and can finally wear most of my gear. My trusty Doc's of course, a company polo which is ok in royal blue with a yellow colar and sleeve edges but I have to wear the company work pants which are proper work pants. I use my black braces instead of a belt and often get comments, but I don't care. As a skinhead and a working man, the work pants are a good substitute for my bleachers. So now I feel like a skinhead when I am at work.

Being a skinhead and feeling like a skinhead 24/7 is so important as a person identifies whith his peers. I live in a country where skinheads are few and mostly in our southern capitals and the tropics of Australia do not lend itself to this type of clothing. I persevere because I am a skinhead and would live no other life. I no longer have a skinhead mate as he has returned to the UK but I continue to look and hope for another to join me here and become my mate in a LTR.
