During the 18th century, when it was being produced in the mills, the gingham became a popular English pattern. Gingham shirts were also popularized by the mod movements since the 1960s and continue to be linked with indie and mod music. many brands, such as, Pretty Green, Fred Perry, Rough Trade, Warrior Clothing, Ben Sherman gingham and Merc produce gingham shirts. Fans of mod indie and English music movements have kept this classic design alive and sharp. Take a look below at some gingham shirts in action.
