Was it 🎾 or ⚽️ that helped Sergio Tacchini become the massive cultural icon it is today?

Launched as a Tennis brand by Italian Tennis No. 1 Sergio Tacchini in 1966 (originally as Sandys S.p.A.), it was arguably football that did more for the brand than Tennis, despite high-profile professional sponsorships!

Watch our history short on how Sergio became the uniform of the Football casuals of the 1980s.

What does the Ivy League look have to do with Mod!? 🤔🧐

Our Paul takes a closer look at the wardrobe staples of the typical Ivy Leaguer and explains how that look inspired the early Mod scene, as well as Suede and Skin styles in the late 1960s.

You might be surprised to find out how many garments and styles were directly adopted by the very earliest Mods. The quintessentially British subcultures of the 1960s actually owe an incredible debt to the distinctly American Ivy Look!

All styles featured are available to buy now - head to our website to shake up your wardrobe this summer!
