I was excited to get my hands on three Bob Fletcher shirts recently. One labelled Fletcher of London, another with the super cool Celebrity Shirts styled by Bob Fletcher - shirtmaker to the stars label and the third sadly unlabelled

Fletcher often visited his friend Dean Martin on set in Hollywood - always making sure to take a picture for the shop of course!


It could have been the next big thing. Alas, I wouldn't want a shirt impregnated with a formula of eau de Cologne either!
Here's a Bob Fletcher shirt from 1964 made for John Lennon that came up for auction at Bonhams, with the same Celebrity Shirts label as mine!
Here's a better look at the shirts I bought. They are absolutely fabulous and I can totally picture a big star wearing them on stage - be that Engelbert or not!
Although Bob Fletcher had what seems to be an exciting and thriving business throughout the 1960s, there is very little information out there. If anyone has any more information on the elusive Bob Fletcher, please do get in touch!
