Classic Styles: The Racing Coleridge Mock Crew Neck with Button Detail.

Many Retro moons ago, Madcap England introduced a unique Mod garment - The Racing Coleridge.

A new play on the traditional crew neck (Attack & Action) racing jumpers that were the two pioneering garments of the Madcap England brand. Since it's inception in the traditional black/gold//red colour way, the jumper has become something of a hall of famer and a gem in the Madcap archives.

Enduring and ever stylish, the later addition of Navy/Red/White was an effort to compliment traditional Mod Target colours, a combination that always proves popular.

A classic Vintage mock turtle neck pullover that features striking Retro Sixties racing stripes to the right side. A cool combination of Breton buttons to the shoulder cleverly compliment the stripes. Finished with subtle sleeve script branding, ribbed hem and cuffs.

Style of the Week: Sunset Geo-Print High Collar Shirt

Along with it's equally lively brother 'Sunrise', the 'Sunset' Sixties Psychedelic Geo-Print shirt has arrived at Madcap England to an amazing reception. 

A striking Retro shirt that features an unusual high collar with button down and exquisite turn back cuffs. The double button neckline is typical of the high collar style and the clean button through placket adds an intriguing simplicity amidst the vivid surroundings of a vibrant 1960s Mod print.

Oval motifs in a striking Retro colour palette interact with the white backdrop to create the most awesome Geometric pattern. This is one shirt that is perfectly at home worn with smart Mod suited and booted attire or with a more casual Indie ensemble.

Expertly shaped for a quintessential and debonair style, the 'Sunset' shirt by MADCAP ENGLAND conjures up a cool Dandy Mod look that heralds a new era in colourful tailored indulgence.

In the Sixties, the King of Carnaby Street, John Stephen was interviewed and asked what the 'Well Dressed Mods' would be wearing that weekend. He replied they would probably be in a pair of hipster slacks, in either white or blue, and a cycling shirt with zip up to 'here' and stripes down 'there'. John Stephen was talking about a weekend in the heyday of the Sixties, but we think he could have easily been talking about this weekend! So pull on your blue or white Hipster Flared Jeans and get your Madcap England Cycling top on to join the well dressed Mods this weekend!

Cycling tops have become a style Madcap England is well know for, from the plain Gear Cycling Tops, to retro styled Hi Wheel editions. Roue fits in at the top of that range for Summer 2013.  Don't forget to check out his brother Roue style in Brown/Ecru and featuring a zig-zag pattern to the front.
