I'm still wearing a couple of Ben Sherwins.

Ben Sherwins is right for the mode a la Turkey, but I can remember buying my first proper Ben Sherman, circa 1969, it cost as I recall 69/6d (£3.47and half pee in new money) that was over three weeks paper round money, good job I could earn some extra golf caddying.  It matched my Levi jeans just perfect, wot a proper geezer I was becoming, and yes I did get in the bath with the Levis on to shrink them to the correct size.... ah the follies of yoof  ;)

Yep, me too. Although we always wore Lee Riders with our Ben Shermans, together with black Harrington jackets and 18-hole DMs for "day wear". In the evenings it was Brutus shirts, Sta Prest trousers, a Crombie and DMs. If it was a more formal do, then it was a white Ben Sherman, a black Tonic suit with scarlet lining and black Silver Stud brogues. I distinctly remember that the Silver Studs were £85 a pair at a time when my Dad was bringing home £48 for a 60 hour week.

I can remember going into a shop in Maidstone, where there was a fella called Dale who was as bent as a nine bob note and he insisted that he had to measure my inside leg,,,,, for a shirt.

I have no idea what you are talking about KKOB. You sound like the sort of chap who would buy a £171 bag back in those days.

Back in those days I knew someone who could get me that sort of thing for a tenner.    ;)

And you probably never will Colwyn.   :)

I suspect Dale had designs of his own, perhaps he was a nine bob note collector, with a curvature.

Zissmans or Chetwyns or Burtons & there was a shop round the corner from Ozzie Osbournes house
called Davis's that used to import fantastic Italian gear and flog it cheap.Trousers with leather piping
on all the seams. We were the dogs testicles.      8)
