These shirts, pins, posters, hats, and limited-edition vinyl releases make this Saxon clothing collection a treasure trove for collectors and fans.
Saxon’s perfect blend of fast tempos and melodies sets them distinct from Motorhead, Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden.

This decade produced albums like Priest’s British Steel and Motorhead’s Ace of Spades, influencing heavy metal today.
