The 'Portland' by 66 Clothing - John Lennon Beatles Inspired

Here we introduce a fantastic new addition to the Icon range, The John Lennon Surfer Shirt.

John Lennon frequently donned Grandad-style shirts during the later years of The Beatles. However, this shirt is somewhat different, distinguished as a 'Surfer' shirt by its collar, which features a round bit near the top button. It has been noted by several sources that this style was popular in America around 1965. John wore his during a stay in Portland, notably backstage at the Memorial Coliseum, Portland, Oregon, on August 22, 1965. It's presumed he also wore it for the Press Conference and upon disembarking from the plane. During their visit, The Beatles also met with the Beach Boys.

PLEASE NOTE
This is version 2 of the shirt, now made in the UK with slight adjustments to improve the fit. The colour is a tad darker than version 1.

Sizing
This shirt is slightly tighter than a regular 66 T-shirt; an XL on me was fitted, whereas it would be loose in a Gabicci.

Tech
60% Cotton 40% Polyester
Wash at no higher than 40 degrees

Sometimes we are asked why we use Polyester, and the answer is straightforward: it helps the garment maintain its shape after washing and extends its lifespan.
