Ben Sherman Retro Mod Classic Check B/D Shirt (G)

The Classic Check Shirt in Green from Ben Sherman is crafted from organic cotton in a bold, colourful plaid design. Cut in a smart regular fit, it features iconic Mod tailoring details, including a three-finger roll button-down collar, box pleat at the back, curved hem, and chest spade pocket. Short sleeves with v-inserts and button detailing add to the sharp heritage finish. 

A versatile piece that works across styles, this check shirt pairs perfectly with skinny jeans for a Britpop-inspired look or with pressed trousers for a smart 60s Mod weekend vibe. Completed with a Ben Sherman branded woven tab to the chest pocket; a true retro essential.

During the late 1970s and early 1980s Mod revival, style-conscious youths embraced the short sleeve check button-down shirt as a key piece of their look. Inspired by the sharp tailoring of the original 1960s Mods, revivalists paired these patterned shirts with slim trousers, Harrington jackets, and loafers or desert boots. The button-down collar and bold checks offered both a nod to Ivy League style and a distinct way to stand out in clubs, scooter rallies, and the emerging post-punk scene, making the shirt a staple of the Mod revival wardrobe.

Originating in 1963, Ben Sherman became the go-to brand for the iconic Mod subculture in Britain. The Mods, with their sharply tailored suits and love of American jazz, needed a new kind of shirt; one that was stylish, quality-made, and unique. Founder Arthur Benjamin Sugarman, aka Ben Sherman, answered that call.

The brand’s signature button-down shirt was influenced by American Ivy League style, but Sherman added his own flair with vibrant patterns like gingham, colorful oxford fabrics, a loop on the back of the collar, and a box pleat. This focus on high-quality fabrics, distinctive designs, and a slim, stylish fit made it the quintessential Mod essential. From its Carnaby Street showroom, Ben Sherman's shirts became synonymous with the swinging sixties and its celebration of sharp, individualistic style. While the brand has since been embraced by other subcultures, its legacy remains firmly rooted in its original Mod heritage.
