The Billy Preston 'Get Back' Beatles Inspired - Button Down Long Sleeve Shirt by 66 Clothing - 60s Mod Skin Style

Billy Preston joined the Beatles in January '69 at Saville Row for a jam session and to hang out with friends. Billy had met George in Hamburg, we believe in 1962, and they had become friends. So, when Billy was in town with the Ray Charles band, he popped in to say hello. He ended up hanging around for a few days, playing on many of the tracks from that period. He is notably featured in the rooftop concert and appears frequently in the recent 'Get Back' documentary.

John Lennon was so impressed with Billy that he asked him to join the Beatles! Billy is one of the very few people to have his name alongside the Beatles on a single, namely 'Get Back,' where his incredible solo is one of the song's key elements.

In the documentary, he wears a shirt that really stands out, looking amazing in it. Naturally, we took inspiration from it for our Icon Series.

We are extremely pleased with the results, and it's a brilliant item for any Beatles fan, as well as being a truly cool shirt.

Styling

Yes, these shirts can be worn casually at the weekend, perhaps to a festival, or in a band at soul, mod, or ska events, but they also look good under a jacket.

The fabrics we select pair excellently with jeans and many of our shoes & boots, but of course, they can be teamed with a wide range of other style choices.

These shirts are exclusive to 66 Clothing and Modshoes and are not available anywhere else.
