Top Gear was a boutique established in the 1960s by James Wedge and Pat Booth on the Kings Road, London. [1] It was an influential shop which Barbara Hulanicki was "most envious of", [2] and acquired a reputation for selling Mod clothing to the "rich and influential". [3] Customers included Marianne Faithfull, Mick Jagger and The Beatles. [4]
The carrier bags had a distinctive bullseye design — which became a popular Mod icon used by The Who.
