Ben Sherman & Fred Perry

[nidnoyham 30]

My son only wears Ben Sherman/ Fred Perry polo shirts, they are up to 60 quid in U.K. from specialist shops. Along with tonic suits and leather loafers, it's a dear fashion. Not to mention its 60's Mod, -the old enemy !

 

Anyone seen the above shirts for sale anywhere in LOS ? I have looked in vain myself. :)

I am sure that I have seen F.P. and B.S. gear in Mikes Shopping Centre.

 

However there has been a clampdown on 'moody' gear. I am comparing June 2003 to Dec. 2003.

 

But if you insist they've got it they will tell you to come back tomorrow. When they will go out the back, rummage in cupboards etc.

 

In June I bought 5 Lacoste shirts of varying authenticity from a shop on Beach Road. Shirts still going strong.

 

Went back Dec. none on display. :crying

 

Must be part of the social order campaign.

Thanks T.C,

I have looked around Mikes, and seen all the Lacost & other usual brands, but no B.S etc. will do as you say next time and ask- cheers :)

O.K. So I'm outnumbered, just like the old days.

My Son is a skinhead, spends 2 hours cleaning his boots but can't spend 2 seconds picking up his clothes. He mixes with scooter clubs, mostly for the girls, but was aghast, when I told him I was thinking of chopping in the cruiser bike for a large scooter- Honda Silver Wing, or similar, says I should stick to my roots, either that or he doesn't want his Dad turning up at the Scooter club !

 

Keep Rocking !

nidnoyham, no offence but Fred Perry and Ben Sherman aint seen as designer makes....

 

if you shop around you`ll get Ben Shermans for £20 a shirt (i wear these for work due to then lasting long) in england. If you buy them from poncefest shops like UFC, activeleasure, republic etc you`ll py a hefty mark up.

 

makes that are worth the thai`s making snides of are...

 

Burburry, Lacost, Armani, Prada, D & G, Ck, Ralph Lauren, Boss etc

 

difference between above and Sherman/Perrys are ones above are international brands, and while perry is big in the tennis market, it aint seen as a fasion brand elsewhere outside of england.

 

But, if your only after above, take a print out of the labels you want embroided, get some shirts made at a taylors in pattaya, and they`ll add them on for very small cost. Very good copy of the logo`s as well.

 

I had some nice silk shirts made up for work, and got the Boss logo put on, they are the DB`s and no one can tell they are fakes.

I take your point G, the retailers in LOS do cater for the " Dedicated followers of fashion" remember that one Winston ? I'll get some nice fine checked shirts with button down collars, breast pocket, they will do for work anyway. Its just nice to bring a pressie home that will be appreciated. A reward for not burning down the house while I am away, God knows what he and his mates get up to. Last summer, they slept in a tent in the garden, A skinhead and and a collection of Iraqis and American lads listening to Classic FM, phoning the station to ask for a "shout out" for the lads in the tent- didn't get one, stuffy lot.

 

Any way thanks for the advise chaps-cheers :)
