You sometimes get the sense ‘Made in England’ is a moniker much more caught up with current trends, than rooted in substance. Since the boom in at-home manufacturing five or so years ago, there’s been no shortage of stories about menswear brands craftily leveraging patriotism to push wares they’ve actually just designed in England, but had entirely made elsewhere.

Not so Ben Sherman. Born in Brighton in 1963, the homegrown brand beloved of mods takes its Britishness very seriously, each season producing a capsule collection constructed from top to bottom on these shores.

Ben Sherman Made in England celebrates the label’s roots, comprising outerwear and shirts that fuse premium fabrications – including specially sourced British and Italian cloth – with England’s heritage of craftsmanship. And, in a market overrun with marques trying to pull the wool over your eyes, it’s a refreshing reminder of what it means to be authentic.

Here, we run down the collection’s highlights, and why you should consider taking them home.

Made In England Harrington Jacket

They don’t come much more British than this. Although the cloth for the first Harrington jacket was cut some time back in the 1930s, it’s just as much an outerwear essential today.

Covered in a punchy dogstooth, Ben Sherman’s latest take harks (barks?) back to the vibrancy of 1960s style, splicing the pattern with considered military details including a contrast olive drab collar and copper zip.

What’s more, this one comes crafted entirely from wool sourced from Lancashire’s Mallalieus of Delph textile mill – so you can be sure this ‘Made in England’ jacket makes good on its promise.

Made In England Knitted Jacket

Taking its cues from the iconic 1960s donkey jacket that won the hearts of skinheads and trade unionists alike, this knitted style is a future workwear classic you’ll want to cop whether you’re at the coalface in a quarry or creative studio.
