'''Ben Sherman''' is a British clothing brand selling shirts, sweaters, suits, outerwear, shoes and accessories predominantly for men. Ben Sherman designs sometimes feature the [[Royal Air Force]] [[roundel]] which is often called the [[Mod (subculture)|mod]] target. In its beginnings in the 1960s, the company made its mark with fashionable short sleeved, button-down collared shirts.

==History==
The company was founded in 1963 by Arthur Benjamin Sugarman (1925–1987),<ref>{{Cite web|date=2015-07-20|title=Ben Sherman sold to Marquee Brands|url=http://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/jul/20/ben-sherman-sold-marquee-brands-us-private-equity-firm|access-date=2022-02-21|website=the Guardian|language=en}}</ref> the son of a [[Judaism|Jewish]] salesman,<ref>{{Cite web|title=BBC Radio 4 - Best of Today, The Jewish tailors behind Mick Jagger and Jimi Hendrix|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03pqg6c|access-date=2022-02-21|website=BBC|language=en-GB}}</ref> born in [[Brighton]]. He emigrated to the [[United States]] in 1946, via [[Canada]], where he later became a [[Naturalization|naturalised US citizen]]. He married the daughter of a [[California]]n clothes producer and later returned to Brighton, where he established a shirt factory at 21 Bedford Square in 1963.<ref name="BHN-41093">{{cite news |url=http://www.brightonandhovenews.org/2015/07/22/first-ben-sherman-factory-to-be-converted-into-flat/41093 |title=First Ben Sherman factory to be converted into flat |last=Wadsworth |first=Jo |date=22 July 2015 |publisher=Brighton & Hove News |access-date=23 July 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180124201104/http://www.brightonandhovenews.org/2015/07/22/first-ben-sherman-factory-to-be-converted-into-flat/41093/ |archive-date=24 January 2018 |url-status=live }}</ref>

Sugarman had realised that early 1960s London-based modern jazz fans were eagerly buying the Oxford-collared American button-down shirt brands such as [[Brooks Brothers]], Arrow, and [[C. F. Hathaway Company|Hathaway]], that were worn by visiting American jazz artists including [[Miles Davis]], [[Dizzy Gillespie]], and Canadian jazz artist [[Oscar Peterson]]. At the time, these were only available from official importers who had, in effect, cornered this market. He decided to produce a version of these shirts, along with a collection of the colourful, resort-wear vacation clothes that were growing in popularity, in both the U.S. and Mediterranean Europe.

[[Mod (subculture)|Mods]] embraced the brand, especially as Sugarman was using higher-quality materials and stitching detail than the imported shirts.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Ayling|first=Kim|date=2018-10-02|title=Driving Through The Past: Ben Sherman|url=https://brightonjournal.co.uk/driving-through-the-past-ben-sherman/|access-date=2022-02-21|website=Brighton Journal|language=en-GB}}</ref>

The Ben Sherman Originals label was created, and by 1965, the company had opened a small office on the upper floors of an office-block in a [[London]] backstreet. This acted as the showroom for their shirt and beachwear collections. The first Ben Sherman store was opened on Brighton's Duke Street in 1967.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Ayling|first=Kim|date=2018-10-02|title=Driving Through The Past: Ben Sherman|url=https://brightonjournal.co.uk/driving-through-the-past-ben-sherman/|access-date=2022-02-21|website=Brighton Journal|language=en-GB}}</ref>

Ben Sherman remained popular in the late 70s and early 80s as acts including [[The Jam]], [[The Specials]] and [[Madness (band)|Madness]] helped the brand appeal to the mod revival and [[rude boy]] movements.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2015-07-20|title=Ben Sherman sold to Marquee Brands|url=http://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/jul/20/ben-sherman-sold-marquee-brands-us-private-equity-firm|access-date=2022-02-21|website=the Guardian|language=en}}</ref>

In later years Benjamin Sugarman sold his business in 1975 and retired to [[Australia]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Ayling|first=Kim|date=2018-10-02|title=Driving Through The Past: Ben Sherman|url=https://brightonjournal.co.uk/driving-through-the-past-ben-sherman/|access-date=2022-02-21|website=Brighton Journal|language=en-GB}}</ref> The company passed through a number of hands in the following years. In 1993, British investor [[3i]] backed a [[management buyout]] of Ben Sherman Limited from Northern Ireland-based Dunkeld fashion group, then in [[receivership]], for £4 million which resulted in the creation of the Sherman Cooper Group.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Davey|first=Jenny|title=3i collars £46m as US firm buys Ben Sherman|newspaper=[[The Times]] |language=en|url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/3i-collars-pound46m-as-us-firm-buys-ben-sherman-tp3qftnl9g3|access-date=2022-02-21|issn=0140-0460}}</ref>

In 2000, 3i financed a second management-buyout that created Ben Sherman PLC. In mid-2004, [[Oxford Industries|Oxford Industries Inc.]] of Atlanta purchased the Ben Sherman brand for £80 million (then US $146 million) from 3i and Irish venture capital company Enterprise Equity.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2015-07-20|title=Ben Sherman sold to Marquee Brands|url=http://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/jul/20/ben-sherman-sold-marquee-brands-us-private-equity-firm|access-date=2022-02-21|website=the Guardian|language=en}}</ref>

In October 2009, Ben Sherman opened a store at 39 [[Savile Row]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Ryan|first=John|date=2009-10-17|title=Ben Sherman, Savile Row, London|url=https://www.drapersonline.com/companies/ben-sherman-savile-row-london|access-date=2022-02-21|website=Drapers|language=en}}</ref>

Oxford Industries Inc. completed the sale of Ben Sherman to Marquee Brands, controlled by the US investment group [[Neuberger Berman]] for £41m in 2015.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2015-07-20|title=Ben Sherman sold to Marquee Brands|url=http://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/jul/20/ben-sherman-sold-marquee-brands-us-private-equity-firm|access-date=2022-02-21|website=the Guardian|language=en}}</ref> In turn, UK operations were licensed out to The Baird Group (BMB Clothing).<ref>{{cite web |last1=Man |first1=Pui-Guan |title=Ben Sherman ramps up UK operations in growth strategy |url=https://www.drapersonline.com/news/ben-sherman-ramps-up-uk-operations-in-growth-strategy |website=Drapers |access-date=16 August 2022 |language=en |date=3 October 2017}}</ref>

At the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, Team GB’s opening ceremony outfits were designed by Ben Sherman creative director Mark Williams.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-07-17|title=Stylish athletes to make Tokyo the most fashionable Olympics yet|url=http://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2021/jul/17/stylish-athletes-to-make-tokyo-the-most-fashionable-olympics-yet|access-date=2022-02-21|website=the Guardian|language=en}}</ref> Drawing on the Mod heritage of the brand, athletes wore civilian Harrington jackets and button-down shirts.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-07-17|title=Stylish athletes to make Tokyo the most fashionable Olympics yet|url=http://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2021/jul/17/stylish-athletes-to-make-tokyo-the-most-fashionable-olympics-yet|access-date=2022-02-21|website=the Guardian|language=en}}</ref>

The Ben Sherman brand has often been compared to fellow British clothing brand [[Fred Perry]]. <ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-07-20|title=Ben Sherman Now a Safe Choice but History Could Help its Relaunch|url=https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2015/jul/20/ben-sherman-now-a-safe-choice-but-history-could-help-its-relaunch|access-date=3 January 2024|website=The Independent|language=en}}</ref>
