Ben Sherman is a British menswear brand founded in 1963 by Arthur Benjamin Sugarman, who was from Brighton, England. Starting with an Oxford-cloth button-down shirt inspired by American Ivy League shirts, the brand offers shirts, polos, knitwear, jackets, suits, trousers, accessories, and more. It grew internationally through its connections with music and youth cultures, including the Mods, and espouses an approach of “embracing the new and different and rejecting the ordinary and mundane.” With British style and a heritage of shirtmaking at its core, it operates as a contemporary menswear lifestyle brand.

Ben Sherman Function is a functionality-focused lifestyle line derived from Ben Sherman. Introduced in 2016 as a product line for new lifestyles during its first store expansion in China, it offered apparel using functional materials and practical details for urban men’s everyday exercise, commuting, and weekend outings. While the main line centered on shirtmaking and mod-derived classics, Ben Sherman Function was positioned to address practicality and active use more explicitly. It was a derivative line developed as an independent trademark bearing the Ben Sherman name, covering clothing, footwear, hats, and other items.
