* A taste of two-tone
Posted on February 18th, 2008 by The Shop Keeper. Filed under Marcus Brown.
Frankly, the Ben Sherman website is perfect. It has reminded me that, in days long gone I wore stay press trousers and jumped up and down (stylish like) to The Specials, Madness, The Jam and The Who. I loved the clothes and adored the music.
I really like what Ben Sherman have done - the little flickr sets, the youtube clips and a selection of last fm tracks; all neatly ordered into the decades of my youth (well two of them any way).
It’s a little rough. Not too fashion – not like the Fred Perry website. No, I like the Ben Sherman website and I love the look of the clothes; looks like the kind of stuff you could get your head kicked in for wearing when you’re out and about down the Bargate on a Saturday afternoon.
Oi Oi.

yep - i’m with you on this one marcus. and i bet loads of your trad fred perry kids would be too. the nice thing is that they’re carrying it through to their stores too. the fred perry store here is schlick and cold, mostly featuring their shoe range. ben sherman has this great mod target tile thing happening and a vespa in the window.

Nice post. I’m also a fan of Ben Sherman but I didn’t know that they pimped their website with that kind of cool stuff.
Btw.: The store in Soho/NY is brilliant. It has two Vespas and just three puppets.

Generally its the Ben Sherman wearers who do the head kicking… in my experience at least.

Midlands? That’s as far North as a Southampton boy will ever go.

Lauren - I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a Sherman shirt, but smart it was.
