Penfield Pac-Jac 35th anniversary jacket

Penfield

Penfield is this year celebrating 35 years of business, so what better way of celebrating than by bringing back a classic – the Penfield Pac Jac 35th anniversary jacket.

It's a subtle twist on the original Pac-Jac (aka the lightweight trail jacket) from the 1980s, offering up that packable design, wind and water resistance, an adjustable Hood and waist cinch, vented back section, elasticated cuffs and that all-important 35th anniversary zip pull.

Certain to be limited, you can pick one up online for £80.

1980s Puma Dallas trainers get reissue

Dallas

We're taking a trip through Puma's archives today, stopping off in the 1980s for the return of the Puma Dallas.

Not the most well-known Puma shoe, but one of the more stylish, the Dallas was big on the breakdancing scene (which probably dates it fairly well), but returns for more gentle use in suede with leather detailing and a clean white sole.

A couple of colour variations available, priced at £54.99.

Adidas Samba trainers return in new shades of suede

Samba1

Another reissue of the classic Adidas Samba trainers, this time with a choice of blue or green suede.

Actually, that green could be a turquoise, so it could be two shades of blue – check it out over the page and make your own mind up. Anyway, both are takes on the classic 1962 footballing shoe and latter-day terrace classic, with that suede upper, contrast stripes, a vulcanised white sole and some gold detailing.

£49.99 secures you a pair.

Slazenger clothing returns as Slazenger Heritage

Slazenger3

If you read our Electric Roulette site, you'll have noticed the Damon Albarn Park Life track top (pictured above), just one of the items in the newly-launched Slazenger Heritage clothing range.

Slazenger obviously isn't a new label, it's been around since 1881 and will forever be associated with tennis, although you might not know that Slazenger also produced the football for the 1966 World Cup Final and has made clothing and equipment for everything from golf to motor racing in its history. This newly-launched collection borrows from that past, as well as throwing in a touch of the modern era too.
