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.....

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.
