Shining a light on the post-casual culture of the UK, “Dressers” focuses on members of the notorious Cardiff Soul Crew, one of the most active football Casual firms in the UK.
Football and its surrounding culture has always been something that has interested us here at the Rig Out and we’re grateful to be able to attempt to be honest and authentic with it having been sick of some of the more corny, cringeworthy bullshit docs that have tried to look into the Casual scene over the years.
We hope we have done it justice. It truly is a unique British subculture.
Banned from every football ground in the UK for nearly 15 years “Dressers” follows Deacon, one of the Soul Crew’s key members. Deacon talks about the Soul Crew, his banning order and what it means to be involved in Casual culture. We also get insight into his life, his role as a father and the life he has left behind.
We also speak to other Soul Crew members, Rhod and Tony Rivers (author of the Soul Crew book).
We’ve teamed up with Will Robson-Scott to swap Chicago for Cardiff for this journey into the life of the Soul Crew. Will won Young Director Of The Year at Cannes Lions last year for Chi-Raq, his study into contemporary Chicago gang culture.
Filmed during the build up to the Wales v Belgium qualifier, the biggest game in Wales’s history since 1958. The film is commissioned by Weekend Offender who all come from Cardiff and its surrounding valleys. Think of them as… what would Supreme be like if they were into the football and came from Merthyr Tydfil?
Running alongside the film, WRS has shot a full Weekend Offender editorial on location in Cardiff and Merthyr Tydfil.

Enjoyed it but not sure what it was about?
Seemed like from fighting to fatherhood.
Let's be honest - Most Lads are now Dads
Great days though
