To commemorate the 60th anniversary of The Leather Boys movie, we have created a small series of t-shirts for the occasion, two designs are available now with two more to come.

The first two designs are based on the cover of the original 1961 book by Gillian Freeman (aka Eliot George).

Filmed in 1962, The Leather Boys is renowned for its footage of the original Ton Up Boys with many scenes shot at the Ace Cafe, the movie's certification was delayed resulting in a 1964 release, the year of the Mod / Rocker clashes at Britain's seaside towns. It is interesting to contrast the styles of the Ton Up Boy and Rocker, the former wore mainly undecorated leather jackets but helmets were often customised with chequered tape and transfers, while the Rocker preferred to adorn their jackets with studs, patches, badges and hand-painted motorcycle brand logo's. More designs to follow.
