Last year i somehow dropped on a Fred Perry shop somewhere between Leicester Square & Covent garden . It was a bit out of the norm as it seemed to just specialise in old/used polo shirts ( prices seemed a bit steep at the time , but probably ok in reality).
I'm just wondering if it's still there as i can't find it on Google & it'd save me wandering around aimlessly if someone can tell me if it's still there or not.
7 Dials ?
No idea but plenty of retro shops up there..

Interesting that it's still a thing, has it always been the case? last time I was there for clothes shopping (early nineties) it was all retro Americana clothing that was all over Kings Road, Camden market etc. I returned 'up north' with a couple of brown suede/buck skin type 60's jackets, old baseball shirts, some old battered 501's etc. I thought I looked like a 90's version of a US West Coast 60's garage punk hipster, but probably looked like a sad Bros fanboy.
the CU Next Tuesday thread is down the page a bit, B.A. 😀probably looked like a
It was (and still might be) on Earlham St at 7dials, think the exterior was glazed tiles like an old pub.
Not sure but agree that around 7 dials is likely, or maybe Carnaby Street as that has always had a number of Mod clothes shops.
I'll try 7 dials then - thanks everyone
Just realised you were after vintage/used so it might have been Rokit on Shelton st or The Vintage Showroom on Endell st but 7 dials end.
Erm , bit too far away to be honest. They sell online though so I'll have a look later .
Cheers
Well done everyone- it's still there on Earlham Street .
Only had chance for a quick look as we got there just as it was closing so going back today . They didn't seem to have any vintage stuff anymore, but maybe I missed it .
Brilliant little area by the way - great looking buildings all over when you take notice .
There's another FP shop on the other side of Covent Garden on Henrietta Street.
Don't think it's as big as the one on 7 dials, but might have what you're after.
Pleasure..
Hope you buy it two sizes too small, get some 501's and roll then up and some red Doc Martins and maybe some red braces too..
Skinheads all in fashion ATM 😉
Thanks chaps - currently having a swift one at Shakespeare's Head Carnaby St before going up that way .
The skinhead look doesn't sound a bad idea the state of my noggin lately!
