With images and extracts from ‘The
Classics of Derrick Rose’ we introduce to you the history of the regimental stripe
and the significance of stripes to Perry Club.
The regimental stripe originates
from the war where soldiers needed to identify each other in the dust and smoke
of the battlefields. Since the 1880s British soldiers have proudly worn their
regimental stripes on their neck ties when not in service. In the present day the
regimental stripes signify membership in private schools and clubs to define
the wearer’s identity and status.
Traditionally the regimental
stripes adorned the neckties of the British gentry, yet in 1920 British tailor
Brookes Brothers extended the stripes to clothing, this created a trend that
soon became a defining aspect of the Ivy League style.
Whether worn as a blazer, neck
tie or flamboyant accessory, a regimental stripe signals an appreciation for
traditional and timeless style. ‘The modern gentleman may embrace new fabrics
and designs, but he always remembers the origins of elegant dress’ The Classics of Derrick Rose’
Perry Club will enhance the brand
value of your club whilst retaining its unique history and heritage.
