Good luck to you, but dont tell me "Perry" clothing means soemthing to +90% of this nation, it really doesn't, its a niche market

Of course. Like everything else in Modernist culture, if it was too popular with the masses, it would be disowned.

It does mean something though, it has a cachet that other labels would kill for. You don't have to like it but certain brands have a status based on their history that sets them apart. I don't expect you to understand and I don't care enough about you to try and explain, but Percy is right.

On balance I prefer to look like a skinhead, mod or Weller fan than a Nazi.

We're still talking about t-shirts right?

All things being equal, I'd sooner buy something made in the UK than not. I'd certainly not pay a premium for something made for pennies in the Far East. So Fred over Hugo.

Sunspel are the best anyway.

Good luck to you, if you want to badge yourself up in Perry thats fine
My point was if i personally was spending that sort of wedge on a polo, I'd go Boss all the way based mostly on quality and style, rather than what Fatboy Slim thinks

Hugo Boss was a member of the Nazi party.

I recently bought a claret and blue, Lyle and Scott shirt. I will be wearing said garment on Saturday.

I looked for one of them ages ago but couldn't find one. How much are they?

[cheltenhamlion]

About seventy quid if memory serves me correctly. I got it from a shop in Merry Hill called Diffusion.

They are......but aren't they just black not claret and blue. Plus you have to have the Bond physique as well

I ordered a fred perry one yesterday, too go with my claret and blue trainers . http://www.jumpthegun.co.uk/product/M12_Burgandy
60 quid but if you can afford it worth the value
hope this helps

When you open the link i particularly like the quote 'this is one of those colours that has never gone away'.

Could you not just have a t-shirt without someone elses name on it?

[garyshawsknee]

Bit of useless information,but i remember hearing that when Fred Perry was designing his shirt,his people just took the measurement and the cut off a Lacoste shirt. Also Perry had to be talked out of using a pipe as the shirts logo!

Good to see people using Jump the gun,bought a good few things from there over the years,really good shop,run by sound fellas,worth a butchers if anyones in the area.
