The Gabicci Vintage Routledge Archive Tipped Polo Shirt in Navy is a true celebration of mod fashion and the enduring influence of Northern Soul style. Crafted with precision archive tipping and Gabicci’s signature sharp silhouette, it reflects the spirit of the 1960s dancehalls and all-nighters, where style, music, and movement collided to form a subcultural revolution.
But why should you wear the Routledge Polo? Because it perfectly blends heritage authenticity with versatile modern wearability. Its archive-inspired detailing connects it directly to the golden age of mod and Northern Soul, while its clean design makes it a piece you’ll turn to time and time again.
And what should you wear it with? The Routledge is a wardrobe chameleon. Pair it with flares and bowling shoes for a sharp Northern Soul dancefloor-ready look, or with tailored trousers, loafers and a Harrington jacket for classic mod cool. On summer days, it’s just as effective styled with casual shorts, keeping heritage alive even in laid-back fits.
This is more than just a polo—it’s a cultural statement pulling from decades of music, dance, and alternative style, all wrapped into one piece of wearable history.
Named in tribute to the much-loved Richard Routledge, who sadly passed away earlier this year. Richard was the owner of "What is Hip?" on Gorleston High Street and a respected figure in the retro scene. A passionate retailer, DJ, and music promoter, his legendary parties spanned over five decades and left a lasting mark on music and culture.
