May we introduce you to the fabulous new, limited edition colour for one of our Jackpot shirts. This time we have brought a wonderful colour of Red, just like John Lennon’s 65 66 shirt.
The shirts have been developed exclusively for 66 Clothing, with particular attention to some very important details. The main priority of course, was the high collar. We needed to have a really good roll on the collar when worn. We feel that there are just too many collars which don’t have that class/smart look, so this had to be just right.
The collar length and the position of the button was very important, we wanted it to be an integral part of the design not just an ornament, which we have seen on some modern designs. When worn the collar hugs the neck, and doesn’t fall to one side, so it makes the wearer look neat and tidy.
Also the sewn in back pleat, the loop, the button on the back of the collar. Every little detail taken care of.
The button down is a classic shirt, and has been since the Mod Jazz / IVY days of the 50s. Worn with a suit or Sports Jacket, it’s style had that certain refinement that set it apart from conventional collars. Each decade since then has seen the Button Down change to suit the times. Of course the Mod Style, that became the skinhead and suedehead, has some great colour combinations and a tradition that we wanted to pay tribute to, but with our individual touch.
So yes you can wear these shirts casually at the weekend, perhaps to a soul, mod or ska do, but they also look good under a jacket, eg. harrington.
The colours that you see here, will look great with loads of outfits. We did choose these colours to work with our other pieces , but of course they can be worn with a host of other style choices.
The shirts here are a limited run, and there are only 35 of each colour in the world.
Features:
Four finger rolled button-down collar
Locker loop
Back box pleat
Cut Away Cuff Detailing
Material Composition: 100% Cotton
PLEASE NOTE : These are slightly slimmer than our other shirts. For instance I wear a xl in our shirts, and can sit down without pressure on the Stomach, these are slightly tighter, and I would have to stand ! So if you have a little ‘Beer Belly’ , you may need to go up, not down on these. If you are undecided please buy 2 for size, and send the other back using free service (UK Only Terms Do Apply).

Everything is perfect on this shirt! The collar and the colour are something to highlight! It fitted perfectly on me (I got a XS one) and it works within or without blazer and/or tie!

A lovely red shirt, I’ve been wanting one like this for a long time. Top quality & all the little details just right.

This shirt is just pure quality, the material , the colour and the style are all top end of the market . Looks great on if your using it for formal occasions as well as casual. Great fit, but like the site says if you are between sizes maybe go for the next size up. Or even better take advantage of the sites order 2 different sizes and get free returns postage on the one that does not fit.

This V2 version of the Lennon Special in Red is even nicer and more refined than the previous version. Great new details like the ’66’ buttons and improved collar and fit. I love the shirt and would say that it is true to size, though cut slightly on the slim side.

Quality shirt, looks absolutely stunning on. Really pleased. Similar cut but slightly lighter material compared to the brown Jackpot.
