Dissertation help
I wonder if I can get some help -if you can't help a fellow mod who can you help? - basically I.m doing a degree at 44 - I was a revivalist mod (still a mod at heart-it's in the blood) and I'm writing my dissertation on The People's icons (and being a mod I'm gonna write about what I love) I've included The parka,Dr Marten shoes(I know their not, more scooter boys), The RAF roundel (OUR MOD TARGET) Vespa, Paul Weller and Ray Davies. I know why these are iconic but obviously I need to back up my research with quotes from real people (so I guess you guys are them) Here's the question What was the major factor that made them icons?
Original 60's mods your help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Re: Dissertation help
The Parka-Something Joe public thinks is in every Mods wardrobe.
Dr Martin Shoes-Well the boots are the anti fashion footwear, worn by alternative people and workmen alike, something that most people in the country have heard of.
The Roundel-Like the parka it's something people associate with Mod.
Vespa-Not only a very stylish form of transport, but a way of expressing personality. Do you Mod it up? Tune it up? Restore it? The possibilities for putting a personality stamp on a scooter are endless.
Paul Weller-Front man of The Jam, helped popularize the revival.
Ray Davis-Very talented lyricist, his songs talk about his background but without being restricted to a certain place at a certain time.
As for my own icons, I don't think I have any that are particularly mod.
