Ben Sherman

Ben Sherman, the man behind the brand, was described as ‘always embracing the new and the different’; someone constantly searching for the best of things. He was a passionate businessman with an artist’s soul.

Ben started making shirts for other people. But soon his creative flair took over and he started designing his own shirts. Then in 1963 he was ready to launch the first Ben Sherman shirt. Inspired by the American Ivy League style, Sherman’s shirts defined themselves by his use of the finest quality fabrics, pale pastel shades and candy stripes.

Sherman’s rise to stardom was perfectly aligned with the first British youth culture movement; the post war teddy boys, showing them that clothing could be a key indicator of their beliefs and signal their belonging to a culture. Second to adopt the Ben Sherman style were the mods and as they say the rest really is history!

An icon of clothing history, there is simply nothing quite like an original Ben Sherman shirt.
