I am with you on this. I wouldn't buy a Ben Sherman today as they are made outside the UK. The original shirts (made in UK and Northern Ireland) were good quality and I think matched some of the American import shirts. I would buy a made in England Fred Perry, but not a cheap import. My mum bought me my first Fred Perry in the early sixties. They were a popular cheap tennis shirt for going away on holiday. Not sure they were of the highest quality even then but they were made in UK as opposed to Hong Kong or British Empire. Most Brands are trading on past glories.Most things with a logo on are rubbish.Expanding on this i dont buy Ben Sherman shirts or Fred Perry polos any more as they are poor quality,pale shadows of the ones from the old days,they just live on their past reputation..(i also dont like wearing clothes with logos,fussy old bustard aint i ?).
