Greasers

Greasers are a working class that originated in the 1950s among young northeastern and southern United States street gangs, and then became popular among other types of people. In the 1950s and early 1960s, these youths were known as hoods.

Clothing items typically worn by greasers included: Sir Guy shirts, white or black T-shirts (often with the sleeves rolled up); whiteA-shirts (as outerwear); ringer T-shirts, Italian knit shirts; Daddy-O-style shirts; black, blue or khaki work jackets, black or browntrenchcoats, Levi denim jackets; leather jackets; blue or black Levi's 501 jeans (with rolled-up cuffs anywhere from one to four inches); and baggy cotton twill work trousers.

Their name game from their greased back hair.Typical hairstyles included the pompadour, the Duck's tail and the more combed-back Folsom style. These hairstyles were held in place with hair wax (pomade).

Although the greaser subculture was largely an American youth phenomenon, there were very similar subcultures in the United Kingdom and Australia. The 1950s British equivalent were the Ton-up boys, which evolved into the Rockers in the 1960s.
