Dont know about the suits sid, but have just bought the missus some 60's gear from there. A bit expensive but good quality.

Would think the mens gear would be the same mate. 

Just looked on their website and nothing looks that "mod" to me. All single breasted and slim fitting (Supposedly) but all 2 button, more "mad men" inspired than mod I'd say but.....

Yeah i agree Mal,seen nothing online to resemble a Mod suit.

Had a Simon carter polo once, sold it on ebay, wasn't too good

Just got A lambretta boating blazer jacket today from the house of Fazier for £60 and the Peter Werth suits are tops too http://www.peterwerth.co.uk/collection/tailoring/.

i ve seen a couple of simon carter suits in tkmaxx slim lapel 2 button some with ticket pocket tried a jacket on the other day and it did feel quite good, limited stock but suit would only set you back around £100.

Seen some of his shirts in there  Aldo they look not too bad.

aye theyre quite cool gary got a shirt, jumper and cardigan by simon carter from tk about £20 a piece nice to have in the wardrobe cos my missus always seems to shrink my knitwear so i dont spend too much on it.

Simon Carter used to be a 'Mod' inspired and branded label. I think they were going for a more accessible version of Paul Smith in terms of affordability. Some of their suits a few years back were fairly close to the mark cut and style wise (not too sure about 'tonic' but I seem to recal they did a mohair blend at one point) as were their coats and shirts but it seems they're now going for a more of an easier sell with the 2 button malarky. Who knows though, they may still have a humdinger hidden away in their collection somewhere.
