Madcap England Autumn Style Edit: Retro Cool for the Modern Mod
As the temperature drops and the nights draw in, Madcap England step forward with a collection of men’s clothing perfect for the autumn season which celebrate the best of 1960s Mod and 1970s Retro style. This season’s is all about texture, colour, and timeless attitude; from vibrant knitwear and vintage-inspired polos to tactile cord jackets that channel pure retro cool.
We've always been a brand that thrives on nostalgia without getting completely stuck in the past; and this autumn, that balance feels sharper than ever. Here’s our round-up of some of our key pieces defining the new season look.
Knitted Tops & Jumpers: Texture, Colour, and Mod Detailing
Knitwear has long been at the heart of Madcap England’s DNA, and in autumn naturally it takes centre stage. Our focus is on bold textures, fine-gauge craftsmanship, and statement stripes that nod to vintage sportswear and mid-century design
-
Our Junot Waffle Stripe Polo in Buckthorne brings a hit of ‘50s Americana to the Mod wardrobe. Its popcorn-textured waffle knit and soft, warm tone make it perfect for autumn layering — effortlessly bridging smart and casual looks.
-
Our Shockwave Abstract Stripe Polo reimagines the Mod stripe with a bold, refracted pattern in rich Delicioso brown, giving off serious 1970s weekend energy.
-
For something a little more subtle, the Screamin’ Jay 2 Gradient Stripe Polo offers a retro gradient effect and classic tipping details, the perfect companion to dark denim or a sharp Harrington.
-
On the minimalist side, the Eastwood 1960s Mod Turtleneck Jumper channels beatnik-inspired styling with a soft cotton knit and ribbed turtleneck collar — a clean, understated piece that layers beautifully under jackets.
-
And for that Mod polish, the LS Moon Tipped Knit Jumper adds a touch of refinement with contrast tipping on the collar, cuffs, and hem, a timeless staple with a hint of 1960s smart-casual flair.
-
If geometric patterns are more your style, the Step On Jacquard Knitted Polo brings a fine Mod jacquard weave that’s both distinctive and sophisticated, proof that bold design can still be versatile.
Jackets & Outerwear: Cord, Knit, and Cool Confidence
Outerwear is where Madcap England’s autumn range really shines, blending heritage fabrics with distinctly retro silhouettes that pay homage to the heyday of Mod and Terrace culture.
-
Our Woburn Cord Western Jacket in Latte is a masterclass in retro craftsmanship. Cut from 11-wale corduroy, it fuses classic trucker styling with subtle Mod tailoring, featuring side adjusters and rivet buttons for that authentic vintage finish. Alternatively add a cosy lining and fab retro collar with our Woburn Sherpa Collar Cord Western Jacket in Black which adds a full sherpa body lining, sherpa collar and quilted sleeves to the original design fully preparing you for the colder weather.
-
For a sportier vibe, our Fuller Retro Knitted Track Jacket channels 1970s off-duty cool. With its fine-gauge knit construction and bold colour-block design, it’s a refined take on the track top — smart enough for the pub, relaxed enough for the terrace.
-
Finally, the Mavers 70s Knitted Track Top offers the ultimate retro zip-up silhouette. With its polo collar, full zip-through front, and vintage sports striping, it’s the kind of piece that defines the Madcap England aesthetic, rooted in heritage, ready for now.
