A good friend of Bridge Classic Cars recently sent us some pictures of himself looking extremely stylish in a Bridge Classic Cars x Trojan Records Clothing Harrington Jacket in Camel.
He certainly wears the jacket well and we are grateful for the photos of our jackets out and about.
Bridge Classic Cars Director, Gordon is going to be attending both the Monaco and Barcelona Grand Prix this year.
To acknowledge his trip, we have commissioned a very special one-off design Bridge Classic Cars T-Shirt which will be made by Carousel Clothing. The Formula 1-inspired t-shirt will be worn by Gordon and his friends as they take in the experience and the exciting atmosphere of 2 Formula 1 events.
We are sure there’ll be plenty of photos taken so we are looking forward to seeing Gordon and Co up close and personal with the F1 drivers.
The history of Trojan Records Clothing goes all the way back to 1947 when, in Lambrete, Milan, Ferdinando Innocenti’s 123cc scooter was launched. The scooter in question was the Lambretta, named after the district in which it was created and, subsequently, revealed to the world.
The Lambretta was a huge success in Italy and beyond. In 1951, it arrived in the UK and by 1959 it had overtaken the sale of Vespas, which had already established itself prior to the arrival of the Lambretta.
Throughout the 1960s, the Lambretta developed a very English personality, despite being an Italian scooter, and it became a popular mode of transport across the country.
Once the production of Lambretta scooters ceased, the brand it had built and the values it had created lived on and, in 1997 the Lambretta clothing range was launched. The first Lambretta shop opened on Carnaby Street in 1997 before a second opened in the Victoria Quarter, Leeds and a third opened in Covent Garden in 2002.
In 2015, Lambretta launched a sub-brand called Trojan Records. This was a limited clothing range that proved to be successful enough for it to be established as its own fashion brand in 2015.
Trojan Records clothing has become known for its stylish and classic apparel that pays homage to its Ska roots. This Jamaican heritage is still present in the range of Harringtons, polos, parkas, button-down shirts, fine-gauge knitwear, track tops, tees, and trousers.
All of the apparel in the Trojan Records range is high-quality and timeless and incorporates parts of traditional favourites while also keeping in tune with contemporary styling.
It may seem odd that a classic car restoration company is talking about clothing and style. However, here at Bridge Classic Cars, we appreciate all things classic and Trojan Records Clothing certainly fits the bill.
Something new and exciting is coming very soon so keep your eyes peeled for more Trojan Records and Bridge Classic Car news.
