      Reverend Greasehound But wasn’t the greaser style originally a youth trend? Or at least that’s how it became a distinct style.

    I can't stand when fashion youtubers say stuff like. "If you want to have the greaser look you should wear skinny jeans and use a lot of hair gel and pull the rest of the look off with a pair of vans..." Greasers wear classic fit jeans and use classic hair products like pomade and hair tonic, and obviously don't wear vans. Hipsters just see something they don't understand and immediately gotta put some trendy twist on it.

    When I started to get into the greaser style I watched Tom Cat's videos, then Outlaw Greaser's, Straight Cat's, Rockabilly Ben, and last but not least Kryptic Art (Madman) my list composed is the channels I've discovered in order. I appreciate all of these guys and their knowledge they gave to help me gain knowledge as a greaser. The trendy channels are crap, and that the type of channels listed above provide the best videos you can find to influence your own unique look within the greaser style

My style of clothing is a very simple and basic look, early 50s kinda look. For example like the way the greasers dressed in "The Outsiders" dressed.

    I’ve recently started really getting into rockabilly and your channel has been an amazing help in discovering new things about the subculture. Your apparel suggestions have been a huge help. Yesterday was the first time I really put on the dog. I had my hair slicked, wearing a black A-Shirt, dark blue denim pants (not the stretchy kind), but the only thing I kept to my usual is my black logger boots. I know the outfit was simple and may not be super duper authentic but I felt the old school cool all day long. I was way more confident and laid back knowing that even dressed simply I was dressed sharp. Thanks Madman.

    Unfortunately I’m not privileged enough to have the experience in the culture even though I’d give anything to be apart of it.

Like to see if you concur.I've noticed some Greasers wear their Perfectos (which is the best damn jacket on the planet IMO) over a collared shirt, especially back in the day. Seems to be an East Coast thing? Have you noticed this?I'm a fellow So Cal Greaser, so we know because of our warm weather, T-shirts reign supreme. To me, nothing pairs better with a Perfecto than a T-shirt. Thoughts? You gotta go to Viva, man! It is Rockabilly mecca.Rock on, keep the Grease alive!
