  Baracuta

  The Harrington jacket was born in Manchester back in 1937, when John Miller and his brothers came up with the legendary tartan-lined G9 jacket in their Baracuta factory on Chorlton Street manchester
  
  The Baracuta G9 has been worn most famously by Steve McQueen as well as Frank Sinatra, Elvis, Arnold Palmer and the 1966 England World Cup team. The mods adopted the Baracuta as one of their staple wardrobe pieces in the 60s and re-christened it as the Harrington after Ryan O'Neal's character 'Rodney Harrington' in the Peyton Place TV series.

  Converse

   

  Marquis M. Converse founded the Converse Rubber Shoe Company (also known as the Boston Rubber Shoe Company) in Malden, Massachusetts in 1908. The company was a rubber shoe manufacturer, providing winterized rubber soled footwear for men, women, and children. 
  
  By 1910, Converse was producing 4,000 shoes daily, but it wasn't until 1917 that the Converse All-Star basketball shoe was introduced. The basketball player Charles H. "Chuck" Taylor was given a job as salesman and ambassador, promoting the shoes around the United States. In 1923 his signature was added to the All Star patch, and his name has since became synonymous with one of the all time classics of casual footwear...

  Fila Vintage

  The History of Fila
  
  Fila was founded in 1911 by the brothers Fila in Biella (Piemont, Italy). Until 1973, the company`s focus was on manufacturing undergarment. That year marked the transition from a traditional pants maker to a high-quality, innovative and globally successful major manufacturer of athletic apparel. It was the dawn a of new age not only in Fila`s own history, but also in sports fashion history in general. Two people were responsible for Fila`s new business alignment: General manager Enrico Franchey and fashion designer Pier Luigi Rolando. Their strategic analysis yielded that tennis offered particularly big creative potentials for the newly aligned sportswear manufacturer. Tennis was still “all white” back then, but potentially open to colours, perfect for establishing new design concepts that would easily attract public attention.
  
  So Fila started to produce tennis wear. Being aware that successful marketing of their new fashion line involved contracting prominent athletes, Fila began its sponsorship of tennis players in 1974. The first to sign a players contract with Fila were Italian players Adriano Panatta and Paolo Bertolucci who introduced Fila’s slim fit polo shirts on the courts, featuring big coloured collars and a big “F” logo on the chest. These were part of Fila’s new “White Line” collection, a somewhat misleading, purely mythical name that had nothing to do with tennis associated as the “white sport”. In fact, the White Line fashion items soon proved to become more and more colourful and also more and more successful: 1975 was the historic year Bjorn Borg signed with Fila, the begin of an unique, unprecedented success story of athlete sponsorship.
  
  Fila was created in Biella, Piedmont, by the Fila brothers in 1911. It originally started by making clothing for the people of the Italian Alps, now manufacturing sportswear for men, women, kids and athletes.
  
  The company's primary product was originally underwear, before moving into sportswear in the 1970s, initially with the endorsement of tennis player Björn Borg.
  
  The original Italian ownership Holding di Partecipazioni sold the company to US hedge fund Cerberus Capital Management in 2003, after the company over-committed itself to expensive athletic endorsements, at a time when margins were under pressure. Cerberus owned Fila through holding company Sports Brands International, which owned and operated all Fila businesses around the world with the exception of Fila Korea, which was a separate company operating the brand under licence
  
  In January 2007, the global Fila brand was acquired by Fila Korea, Ltd. from SBI, becoming South Korea's largest sportswear company. Fila Korea currently holds the rights to the worldwide use of footwear and apparel brands of the parent firm. With a refreshed management team in the United States, Fila is poised for a comeback.

  Fred Perry

  In the late 1940s, Perry was approached by Tibby Wegner, an Austrian footballer who had invented an anti-persperant device worn around the wrist. Perry made a few changes and invented the sweatband

  Wegner's next idea was to produce a sports shirt, which was to be made from white knitted cotton pique with short sleeves and a buttoned placket like Henri Lacoste's shirts. Launched at Wimbledon in 1952, the Fred Perry tennis shirt was an immediate success.

  The brand, now owned by a Japanese corporation, is best known for its laurel logo, which appears on the left breast of the tennis shirts. The laurel logo (based on the old Wimbledon symbol) was stitched into the fabric of the shirt instead of merely ironed on.

  The white polo shirt was only supplemented in the late 50s when the mods picked up on it and demanded a more varied colour palette. It was the shirt of choice for diverse groups of teenagers throughout the 1960s and 70s, ranging from the skinheads to the Northen Soul scene. It regained popularity when Scottish tennis star Andy Murray had it as his clothing sponsor; Murray signed with Adidas for 2010.
