Jump The Gun

Been meaning to give this place a mention for a while now. I bought a suit from here a couple of years ago, and since then have been back to buy, shoes, shirts and trousers.
The guys are really helpful, especially when it comes to buying a suit, they tell you what will fit you the best, which colours will combine with suit, shirt and shoes.
If you’re going in here to buy a suit, you may be best going during the week as the shop isn’t so busy, and you can take your time, though they don’t rush you (im just really ponderous)
A wide range of Fred Perry polo shirts, plus plenty of their gear which they make.
If i had more places to wear one, i’d be back to buy another suit, but as i get older i may go the whole hog and starting wearing mod wears more and more, hopefully i wont look like an estate agent!

Jump the Gun has long been a mainstay of the North Laine set on Gardner Street for decades. Jump the Gun provide all the mod accessories that you’ll ever need: chelsea boots, Fred Perry, natty suits and Ben Sherman items. It’s really a one of a kind shop. But did you know they did mail order? They do, from this address. So check out their wares online.

Jump the Gun is the ultimate mod outfitters, a shop chock full of suits and slicker shoes; probably the best place for it to be, Brighton, that city of Quadrophenia fame. In all honesty, you so rarely see proper mods anymore today, and it’s probably for the best: there seem to be an inordinate number of rockers! Anyway, if you fancy the full mod gear, getting your Phil Daniels on and the like, Jump the Gun is the place to start!
This isn’t really my style, but I’ve spent more than enough time while a mod friend tries on various suits, and it’s a very nice shop. It’s a little pricey, but, then again, suits are quite expensive, as are those original Fred Perrys! I’m reliably informed by said friend that Jump the Gun is the place in town to buy this sort of gear, so that’s the best recommendation I can give you: not being that interested in fashion, it just seems like a nice place to buy snappy suits to me!

I know what you’re thinking, because who isn’t thinking it; I’m a passionate, 1960’s loving mod who also loves to dress up in a nice suit.
Well believe it or not, Jump the Gun is here for you, offering just that very thing. The mens clothing here is of a very good quality, allowing fine tayloring to combine with with the wide boy look.
This shop isn’t too everybodies taste; if you’re a fan of Moss Bros and next, then this really won’t be for you. If you’re looking to spice up formal wear however, you’ve just hit the jack pot.

Pretty trendy second hand clothes shop that specialises in mod gear that, in my opinion is a little pricey. They do sell a fantastic range of stuff though as well as some original Fred Perrys.
There’s always some nice old scooters parked outside with all the mirrors and chrome polished up which I think is a fantastic advertising idea.
This place now has international notoriety but there are a few more cheaper mod clobber shops just down the road.

I’m not at all familiar with Mod clothing, but I certainly liked what I saw here. Exciting for me was their hat selection. See, I have a weird shaped head, and it’s hard to find a hat that rests easily on it, but also looks good. Well, there was this lovely, gray fedora that fit just perfectly, but the £45.00 made me back away. But the store is just full of gems. You’ll find retro clothing, Harrington jackets, suits, and a lot of Fred Perry. They have a ton of accessories as well, and if I didn’t already buy a wallet, I would have definitely walked out with the brown, leather JTG. There’s definitely a lot of great stuff here, and the staff is super friendly.

As an old Mod residing in Brighton I love nothing better than a nose round this gem of a shop! Always a good place to find out what’s happening on the gig scene and a great stock at reasonable prices. Love it!

«We are the mods, we are the mods, we are, we are, we are the MODS!» Jump the Gun captures the essence of Brighton days gone by. Those were the days when the mods and rockers would converge on these shores for fun, frolics and fighting, there might be another f-​word in there, but let’s keep this review to a 12A classification. It seems almost ironic to think the modern Italian aesthetic the mods adored so much would still be popular. This «modern» look has aged well becoming a modern-​day classic. Fans of sharp suits, clean lines and Fred Perry laurels will love Jump the Gun. I have made a few purchases here and have been thoroughly pleased with the quality and longevity of these buys. Although I think it a tad on the clichéd side to wear solely mod attire, that’s just my opinion and for those who wish to do so, Jump the Gun is perfect. Or if, like me, you just want a few key pieces to add to your collection it’s great too. Jump the Gun retains a sense of Brighton’s history and pride and is therefore a joyful addition to the North Laines and the city in general, for without knowledge of the past, there is no future.

This shop is tops. It’s an easy 1 hr train ride from Central London and a short walk from the Brighton station.
They carry mostly their own line of Jump the Gun shirts, suits, jackets, trousers etc. It’s all very slim fitting and perfectly styled, with good prices. They also carry a great range of Fred Perry, probably better than anything you will find in London at the Perry stores.
Having been the the shop and talked with the fellas there, it’s the sort of business you want to support as they know about clothes and are really passionate about what they’re doing.
Also the store has lots of stock, so you won’t walk in being disappointed there’s nothing on the racks, as there is something here for everyone that likes to get properly dressed.

These guys are a top-​notch mod shop that doesn’t rely on target covered rubbish to keep the look going. They have a wide range of high end Fred Perry’s, house-​made slim cut 3 button suits (with all the right details and the right style cut), sta-​prest trousers, shirts, outerwear, all guided by a true sense of style, not just making a cash in on a subculture a la Ben Sherman. They also have a wide selection of classic Loake shoes, which I also have, and highly recommend if you enjoy a decent pair of shoes on your feet for reasonable prices.
While I haven’t had the ability to visit their shop in person, being across the pond and all, they’ve been nothing but excellent to deal with over the internet, and their suit quality is nothing but excellent. Skip Carnaby Street and head down here.

I love this little shop in the laines. It’s an authentic mod shop that although looks a bit intimidating at first is actually not at all. The two guys that I’ve seen most times I’ve been in are really nice and very helpfull. With their printing shop just round the corner they’ll have any t shirt made up in a different colour or size in about ten minutes.
They’ve got a good range of suits and shirts, (the best man at our wedding was one of the smartest people there thanks to them) and have a large range of other clothes with names like Fred Perry that start off affordable from about £12.50 a tshirt up to £120 for some polo shirts.

Mods and rockers will forever be associated with Brighton. And this fabulous little shop is just the place to kit yourself out in classic ‘mod’ gear.
As well as the labels you’d expect to find — Crombie overcoats, Fred Perry classic t-​shirts (which are surprisingly hard to find in their original colours) — they also do an extensive range of their own gear, including slim-​fit shirts and authentic slim-​lapel suits, and even ‘Target’ cuff-​links. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly.
They have a huge fanbase and a loyal, international following. The shop is situated in Brighton’s North Laine area, surrounded by plenty of other eclectic shops, so it’s worth a wander around the area. The web-​site is rather limited though — much better to visit the shop in person.
