Wrangler Blue Bell Trevor cord jacket

Trevor

It dates back to the late 40s, but was still a staple into the 50s, 60s and beyond – and the Wrangler Blue Bell Trevor cord jacket is back on the market with a serious attention to detail.

The 1947 Blue Bell range has been remade by Wrangler in Japan, with each piece handcrafted on original denim looms, complete with the original details, in this case twin chest and handwarmer pockets, vintage logo and adjustable tabs to the hem.

£140 secures you one.

Martin

There's a lot of choice when it comes to buying a 60s-style shirt these days – and you can add Mikkel Rude to that list.

According to the man himself (a long-time mod), the shirt range os one design in 9 different 60s-inspired fabrics, all with v-cut sleeve, button on the rear of the collar, box pleat and darts, with one distinctive detail of its own – a very pointed button-down collar (as well as the fabrics, all exclusive to Rude).

The shirts are available in very limited numbers and will be sold in the coming months in Oi Polloi in Manchester, American Classics in London, Storm in Copenhagen, Flying A in New York and Martin C. in Paris. Or you can pick one up online – yours for £65.

Max Ingrand Fontana 1950s table light range

Ingrand

Designed back to the 50s, the Max Ingrand Fontana table light range is pretty much perfectly described as a timeless classic.

It could be from any era from the 1930s to the modern day, but the Fontana was designed by Ingrand back in 1958, a white-painted metal frame with a lamp shade and globe in white, satined, blown glass, finished off with a black power flex and switch.

Prices start at £322.99.

Adidas Consortium Rod Laver trainers – yet another five new designs

Con1

Hang on, haven't we been here before? Back in August we featured five new designs for the Adidas Consortium Rod Laver trainers. Now, here we are in September with another five new styles.

To be fair, all are very different from the first batch, although of course, all are still based on the 1977 tennis shoe classic, so not a million miles away either. For your money, you get a canvas, suede or leather upper, partner branding on the heel, the Consortium 'Handshake' branding on the tongue and a shoe made in very limited numbers.

Partners this time are Solebox (pictured above), ACU (pictured over the page), Wood Wood, Goodfoot and D-Mop. All are priced at £70.

SingStar: Motown arrives on the PlayStation 3

Singstar

Let's be honest, who can resist a drunken night in front of the TV with a plastic microphone singing along to some old hits? Not us, that's for sure. Unfortunately, most of the music discs released forSingStar have been…well…a bit rubbish. That's until today, with the launch of SingStar: Motown, released as part of the Motown 50 celebrations.

Yes, you can croon your way through Motown classics of the 1960s and 70s to score points, to beat your mates or just because you fancy a singalong now that the pubs have closed and you're half cut. If you've already got the microphones, just slap in the disc to access everything from Mary Wells and Marvin Gaye to Rick James and the Commodores.

Around 30 tracks in total, which you can pick up for £17.99 for the PS3 version (PS2 also available with slightly less tracks). See over the page for the full tracklisting.
