Here's something I very nearly forgot to tell you about!
Introducing British Heritage Brand, and Indie Fashion Favourite, BUKTA at Atom Retro!
We are very pleased to now be stocking Bukta - the orginal and first ever Sports Clothing Brand, and worn by Indie icons such as Liam Gallagher.
Bukta was founded in Manchester, England in 1879 by Edward Buck and Sons, begining life manufactoring Army Shorts for soldiers. It wasn't long until Bukta turned its hand to sports kits and a legend was born. Bukta supplied almost all the major Football and Rugby teams at one time or another throughout the 20th centuary - but if you haven't heard of them - this was in the days before obvious branding on sportswear (it wasn't actually allowed!) - and by the Sixties, Bukta was worn by more sports teams than any other brand.
You may recall this iconic Bukta Football kit worn by George Best:
( Under here! )
Bukta went from strength to strength in the Seventies and Eighties, enjoying worldwide sucess. However, you may not have seen them around much in recent years - but worry not! Bukta was relaunched in 2005, still based in Manchester, still making thier fantastic Sports kits, but now back on the high street (or internet in our case!) and better than ever!
( Cast your eye over a sample of the Bukta range and find out why Butka really is Best! )
