Mens Fashion, Mod Clothing, Retro Clothing For Men
INDI MENSWEARRETRO STYLE FOR THE MODERN MANLet's face it, if you're not into music, fashion and film with the odd drink and football thrown in for good measure, then you're not really interested in life are you? Music and fashion have shaped the development of youth subcultures ever since the younger generation became independent and stopped wearing the same boring stuff their parents wore way back in the 1950's. One era that stands head and shoulders above the rest is the Mod movement of the 1960's, when music and fashion influenced a nation and a whole new subculture was born! At Indi Menswear we like anything with a retro vibe. Retro clothing with heritage and a Modern twist for the man of today. Mod, retro & terraces clothing brands from the 1960's Mod scene right through the 1970's Mod revival and Northern Soul scene and through to the 80s Casuals and the Paninari of Milan. We sell mens mens trainers, mens shoes, mod clothing especially the mens parka and mens harrington jacket, as well as terraces menswear and styles from the days of the 80s casuals. Streetwear and mens fashion with heritage style, but relevant today. London's Carnaby street was the hotspot for many of the Mod brands such as Ben Sherman, Merc London, Gabicci Vintage, Fred Perry, Baracuta and Brutus Trimfit, and Mods would flock in the hundreds on their scooters every weekend to buy the latest clobber and listen to the latest tunes.
The Mods loved their clothes, especially the slim fitting tailored suits, boating blazers, Crombie style coats, polo shirts, Paisley pattern shirts, graphic pattern T Shirts and Mod shoes, and of course the Parka jacket to keep it all clean and smart while riding their Lambretta or Vespa scooter. Music of the day came from the musical greats such as The Who, The Beatles and the Rolling Stones and seaside resorts such as Margate, Brighton and Scarborough became the gathering places, and often battle grounds with the Rockers! The film and musical masterpiece Quadrophenia by The Who has become the iconic standout Mod film of all time and the story of the Mods has endured to this day. The music may have moved on through musical greats such as Paul Weller, The Jam, Oasis and David Bowie (and a whole host of other bands and artists over the years), but the basic Mod style remains the same-slim silhouette, buttoned collar, smart/casual, always pushing the boundaries of fashion but always dapper!
The late 1960's and 1970's saw a North/South split in musical tastes, with funky sounds in the South and the growth of Northern Soul in the North. Northern Soul is as big today as it has ever been, with events all over the country every weekend. But back then the all-nighters pushing the boundaries of this new underground sound were clubs such as the Twisted Wheel in Manchester 1963-1971 and Peter Stringfellow's Mojo Club in Sheffield, followed by The Golden Torch in Stoke 1972-1973 and then the World famous Wigan Casino 1973-1981, which created a fashion and dance culture of it's own, with Oxford bags (baggy trousers) and vests for the dancing and a bowling bag with a change of clothing for the journey there and back. Daytime clothing was still based on the earlier Mod style, which brought a huge resurgence throughout the 1970's and has endured to this day.
Today's Modernist has created his own style-still faithful to the original Retro Mod style but with a modern twist for the man of today. Remember those famous words by Jimmy in the iconic film Quadrophenia? 'I don't wanna be the same as everybody else. That's why I'm a Mod, see?'. Don't be like everyone else; create your own Mod style with retro menswear and heritage menswear brands with a nod to the sixties and seventies but with your own modern style. Try new things, new brands, new looks, push the boundaries, but remain faithful to the Mod style. After all, it's a way of life!
