We're very excited to announce the arrival of Ben Sherman at Atom Retro!

We've been stocking Ben Sherman Shoes since Spring 2009, and now the mens wear has landed! (Don't worry girls - we've also got some fab Ben Sherman Dresses, Skirts, Jeans and Tops on their way for you too!)

For fans of the Sixties and Mods, Ben Sherman will already be something your familiar with. Ben Sherman is one of the world most famous and well established Mod clothing brands. Founded in Brighton in 1963, by Arthur Bernard Sugarman, Ben Sherman began life as a shirt brand. Realising young people were eagerly buying the Oxford-cloth U.S. button-down shirt brands such as Brooks Brothers, Arrow and Hathaway, which at the time, these were only avalable from official importers.

Sugarman decided to produce a version of these shirts under the new 'Ben Sherman' label. The mods responded immediately, especially as Sugarman was using higher-quality materials and stitching-detail than the imported shirts. By 1965, the company had opened a small office on the upper floors of a shabby office-block in a London back-street, at 9 Carnaby St., which acted as the showroom for their collections. Today the Ben Sherman flag ship store can be found at 50 Carnaby Street, London.

By 1970, the high-fashion demand had passed, and the shirt was adopted by the skinhead subculture in the early 1970s, and later again by the mod revivalists of around 1979.

Today Ben Sherman are one of the most popular British Brands, and are as popular as ever with Mods all over the world. Ben Sherman is still famous for their shirts, with the Ben Sherman House Check Shirts and Gingham Shirts as popular now as in the Sixties. Ben Sherman have grown to feature almost every aspect of fashion, including jackets, Polos, Jeans and look out for something exciting and new coming out this Autumn!

Gabicci launched thier vintage range recently, reproducing some vintage classics from the Gabicci back catalogue - which we're sure you'll agree are absolutely fantastic.

Gabicci was founded in 1973 with a range of Mod looking polos and knitwear which became instantly popular in the Northern Soul dance halls and later among the Revivalist Mods of the Seventies and Eighties. Moving on to the Nineties, Gabicci's Retro appeal saw the brand become popular on the Indie music scene (with original Seventies Gabicci Polos changing hands for up to £150.00 a time!)

Gabicci Vintage was launched in December 2007 and January 2008 to satisfy the demand for Gabicci's Retro look and Vintage Seventies Polos, Knitwear, Shirts and Jackets. Gabicci Vintage is back for Autumn and Winter 2008/09 with some great styles and reproductions, from Slimfit Mod Polo tops to fantastic Retro Seventies Zip Up heavy weight cardigans - ideal for colder weather.

Get over to Atom Retro now to see the full Gabicci Vintage range.

PS. Looking for a Stocking filler for the Mod in your life this Christmas? We've even got some Gabicci Socks!
