Green Is the New Black: Five Shades of Mod Style
Green has always had a place in a wardrobe with a bit of attitude.
It might not be the first colour you reach for when putting an outfit together, but perhaps it should be.
From classic khaki and military-inspired outerwear to rich olive tones and proper old-school green tees, it's a colour that's been quietly doing the business in Mod wardrobes for decades.
And no, you don't have to look like you're off on a military exercise or heading into the garden to make it work.
We've picked five green gems from the Quadrophenia Alley collection that prove there's plenty of life beyond black, navy and burgundy.
1. Gabicci Vintage Houghton Rain Mac – Dark Green
A Proper Coat for Proper British Weather
Let's face it, living in Britain means owning a decent coat isn't really optional.
The Gabicci Vintage Houghton Rain Mac brings a smart, understated look to the unpredictable British forecast. Finished in dark green, it's a great alternative to the usual black or navy outerwear.
Wear it over a fine-knit polo, with smart trousers and your favourite shoes for a sharp, classic Mod-inspired outfit.
Ideal for those days when the forecast says sunshine, but the sky clearly hasn't received the memo.

2. Trojan Records Spirit of '69 Logo T-Shirt – Green
A Little Bit of Spirit, A Lot of Heritage
Some clothing makes a statement without needing to shout. And then there's a T-shirt proudly celebrating the Spirit of '69.
The Trojan Records Spirit of '69 Logo Tee brings together green styling and a nod to the music and fashion heritage of the late 1960s skinhead scene.
Pair it with dark jeans, boots and a Harrington jacket for an easy, heritage-inspired look. Or keep things simple and let the logo do the talking.
Because good music and good clobber never really go out of fashion.

3. Lambretta Brighton Hooded Jacket – Khaki Green
Brighton Style, Whatever the Weather
A jacket called Brighton? Well, we were hardly going to leave that one out, were we?
The Lambretta Brighton Hooded Jacket comes in a versatile khaki green, giving it that relaxed, practical feel that works brilliantly with casual Mod-inspired outfits.
Layer it over a polo shirt or a simple tee, add dark denim and a pair of trainers, and you're sorted for a stroll along the seafront, a weekend away or a quick trip down the pub.
The hood is a welcome addition, too. Especially when Brighton's famous sea breeze decides to remind you who's boss.
