The iconic Brutus Trimfit shirt, that sold by the millions in the late 60's and 70's, has been relaunched by the founder's son Jonathan Freedman. To ensure details match the original as much as possible, Freedman has returned to the original manufacturer in Hong Kong to produce the shirt in three colour combinations of red tartan, navy gingham and black gingham.

Obviously, the mods sounded damn cool—give My Generation a spin if it's been awhile—but they looked damn cool, too. Among their secrets: shirts from Brutus, which is now resurrecting its original 1966 design and (as the name implies) fit. Union Jack cloak not included.

An old name, but a new shirt - the 1966 Brutus Trimfit shirt is back in the shops for 2009. It's a great reproduction too, a button-down collar with nice roll, a button at the rear of the collar and short sleeve and a very nice slim-fit...
