Post 3: The Difference Between A Soc and A Greaser


This is a typical greaser outfit. In the book, greasers wore leather jackets, white t-shirts, and jeans. This outfit is usually what all greasers wear because they are mostly poor.




Besides the starwars stuff, the jacket style is the style jacket the socs wore. The socs wore jeans, these jackets, and madras and mustang t-shirts. Socs wore this high priced clothing because socs were rich.



For transportation, greasers rode motorcycles for their cheap price. If some greasers had more money, they could invest in a car or a good motorcycle.




Socs drove mustangs and corvairs or any other really cool car of the time. They usually drove cool cars to show off for girls.




Socs and Greasers are very different in many ways. Though socs had better cars, greasers were better with cars. They don't call them greasers for nothing cause they are "grease monkeys" aka good with mechanics. As a matter of fact, Ponyboys brother Sodapop works as a mechanic.
