BRUTUS TRIMFIT is back! Having been out of production for many a year, the original Brutus Trimfit shirt is back, and available from Atom Retro!

Originally founded in 1966, the shirts were a hit with Mods and football terrace crowds in the late Sixties, Seventies and early Eighties. Now back in production, the company is still owned by the original 'Brutus' family so authenticity and quality is assured.

Available in limited edition range of three - Black Gingham, Navy Gingham and classic Mod Red Tartan - these shirts are already best sellers, so make sure you grab yours before they're all gone!

 

A great new look for the cool Summer evenings - A classic Retro Mod look.
