			Like most subcultures, the Teds also caused great sensation with their alternative fashion. They used [[Edward VII\|Edwardian]] fashion and applied and transformed it "to the situations and experiences characteristic of their own distinctive group-life and generational experience" (Clarke et al., 41). Consequently, the Teddy Boys adopted the style of Edwardian gentlemen in order to party and enjoy themselves. Usually the clothing consisted of a "drape jacket, [...] suede Gibson shoes with thick crepe soles, narrow 'drainpipe' trousers, a smart shirt and a loud tie - usually of the 'Slim Jim' or bootlace type" (www.rockabilly.nl/general/teddyboys.htm).

	The Teddy boys were very often involved in fights with other young people who did not share their clothing and/or did not belong to the subcultural group. Fights often came up due to offences to their dress code. In 1953 there was the first murder of a Teddy Boy in South London at Clapham Common. A fight between three youths and some of the Teds arose because one of the teenagers had insulted one of the Teds (Clarke et al., 68).
