Rain Shirt: John Lennon-Inspired Paisley Elegance
This stunning paisley shirt is a loving tribute to John Lennon’s unforgettable look during The Beatles’ 1966 Rain era. A standout from the band’s most creative and fashion-forward period, this shirt captures the essence of the mid-‘60s Mod style that defined an era. Lennon’s bold choice of paisley in this photoshoot not only showcased his unique style but also became an enduring influence on generations of music and fashion enthusiasts, including Paul Weller’s The Jam.
The Rain Connection
The Beatles’ Rain is often regarded as one of their most innovative tracks, featuring groundbreaking reverse recording techniques and Lennon’s hauntingly surreal vocals. The song’s psychedelic undertones mirrored the cultural shift of the time, with the band moving away from their earlier clean-cut image to embrace more experimental sounds and styles. The paisley shirt John wore during the Rain photoshoot became a symbol of this transition—bold, creative, and undeniably iconic.
Styling Tips
Pair this shirt with tailored trousers for a polished Mod-inspired outfit, or go casual with dark denim to channel Lennon’s laid-back cool. Perfect for music lovers and vintage style aficionados, it’s an ode to a golden era of music and fashion.

A number of weeks ago, Mod Shoes introduced a paisley scarf inspired by the shirt John Lennon on wore for Rain photo shoot in 1966, I contacted them, asking if they were thinking of making the actual shirt itself, I received a reply saying – watch this space, you may get a nice surprise in the near future. I thought hmmm hello, that sounds promising. Fast forward a week or so ago and tho and behold, Mod Shoes introduced it. I didn’t hang about too long and bought it straight away. It is the bee’s knees and I have been looking for this Rain 1966 paisley shirt for years. It looks and feels fantastic, the only slight difference is, the shirt John Lennon on wore in this photo shoot, has a beagle collar, the Mod Shoes shirt is button down, but that isn’t a criticism, as I would thoroughly recommend buying this fantastic Rain ’66 shirt. Another great buy from Modshoes.

I’ve been looking for a Lennon-style paisley shirt for over 35 years. To say this is spot on is an understatement. I am also very tall (6′ 5″) and fully expected to have to live with too short sleeves, but my XL fits wonderfully. Very fast shipping to the US was also a plus. Thank you!
