ABOUT BEN SHERMAN
Ben Sherman was a legend in his own right. He was often described as always embracing the new and the different, and he constantly searched for the very best.
Born Arthur Benjamin Sugarman, he began his career making shirts for other designers; it wasn’t long before his creative flair took over, and he started designing his own shirts.
By 1963 Ben Sherman was ready to launch his own clothing line. For decades the iconic Ben Sherman shirt and brand has been adopted by almost every seminal youth culture and style movement; it is revered and worn by today’s style leaders.
A global lifestyle brand, Ben Sherman and the original Oxford shirt still remain a modern icon; there is simply nothing quite like an original Ben Sherman shirt.
