I know what you mean. I have four great Fred Perry short sleeve's with all the details but the last one i got was from a online sale and the sleeve's come down to my elbow's but i'll be geting the sleeve's shortend so it looks better. Only costs £5 if you speak to the right person. Just make sure they know what they are doing.

Pretty green doesn't really cut the mustard with me personally, the quality isn't meant to be brilliant and I don't like the way he (Liam Gallagher that is) massively over prices stuff, it's almost arrogant the way he prices stuff simply because he thinks because the company has his name behind it, it's worth all that money. I'm sure none of this is true its just I haven't forgiven Oasis for splitting up the night before they were going to play at V-festival 2009 when I was there and the main reason for going was to see them! ;) But joke aside, I think that Pretty Green is a bit of a no-no for a mod, for me its like having a t-shirt on that says I AM A MOD on the front in big florescent letters or a badge that says MOD on it...It's just not cool. Anyway back to the point, after that possibly offensive rant (sorry it had to come out) I think you'll find I prefer Fred Perry ;) :D

P.S I meant no offence to anyone who owns a t-shirt saying I AM A MOD on the front in florescent letter or a badge that says MOD or anyone that owns Pretty Green clothes ;)

I have no experience with Pretty Green at all so I can't give an honest opinion. Way too expensive from the stuff I've seen, for me at least and I'm always a bit hesitant to spend a lot of money ordering clothing online.

I believe any opinion is a good opinion! so its great to hear your views! And if the quality of the clothes that are produced arent up to suitable standards then i think Mr Liam gallagher should really invest time with what his customer audience wants not upon his personal likes but to defend Pretty Green most products are made in the u.k which is good to see however that doesnt guarantee that the prices should be so high.But i whatever designer you have on your back mods know how to dress smart!x

people were very critical of their quadrophenia parka and the price of it in particular but when you think about it youre getting a brand new m51 [ ive seen unissued military ones at £750 elsewhere ] and authentic " the who " rock merchandise [ official band merchandise itself is always very pricey ]

i seen someone wearing one and it genuinely was an excellent replica.

with only 100 made i reckon you cant lose if you put it up for re sale in a year or two's time on ebay as well .

if only i had the dosh to buy one in the first plaice !
