The popular 80s diamond pattern now returns to 80s Casual Classics with a selection of exclusive argyle knitwear from Gabicci Vintage.
If there was one specific pattern associated solely with
the Casual subculture it's got to be argyle. Something like the equivalent of tartan to Punks or stripes to Mods, argyle was absolutely massive when it came to the original dressers of the late 1970s & early 1980s. Dressing head to toe in sportswear, it didn't matter whether what you were wearing was for golf, handball, football, tennis or track athletes. In the case of argyle it was a trend that was probably born from a trip to the local sportswear store & quickly spread like wildfire across the UK. Also worn by tennis champions like Ivan Lendl in track top & polo shirt form, it was no surprise really that the Casuals took argyle in as their very own. The popular 80s diamond pattern now returns for the latest season with a selection of exclusive argyle knitwear from Gabicci Vintage.

Started back in 1973 by Jack Sofier and Alex Pyser after a visit to the Italian town of Gabicce Mare, located in the picturesque Province of Pesaro and Urbino, Gabicci is a heritage brand rich in British subculture. The iconic G logo captured the hearts of the soul movement of the 1970s with Northern Soul in the North of England and the Soul Boys in the South. World renowned Soul DJ's like Norman Jay pioneered the original Gabicci Soul Boy look with Gabicci knitwear and polo shirts. Merging the lines somewhere between soul & the smarter dressers, the Gabicci Vintage line revived the original styles worn by the Soul Boys & the original Casuals.
