Lacoste 30th anniversary 101 sunglasses

Lacoste_colette

30 years ago, in what Lacoste refers to as 'the golden age of tennis', the label expanded its range from clothing into eyewear, offering up the Lacoste 101 sunglasses. Now they're back in 30th anniversary limited edition form.

Although little else has changed. These are still the classic aviator-style shades, with a sporty look and made of premium materials. Perfect for that winter sun, or indeed summer if you put them away.

The reissue is limited to 1,000 pairs, each one numbered for authenticity. Colette has the first batch, available for £223.82.

Adidas Sleeve Knit Scarf – like the arm of a tracktop

Adi_scarf

I never have Adidas down for quirky and interesting design, but it seems to have gone the extra mile with the Adidas Sleeve Knit Scarf.

Yes, a scarf, just in time for winter. Except this scarf is designed to look like an old school tracktop, at least the arm of one, complete with three-stripe detailing and a small logo on the end.

Just the blue and white for the colour, which is priced at £25.

Baracuta Morrissey vintage fit G9 Melton Wool Harrington jacket

Morrissey

It's been in the planning stages for some time, so we can safely presume that the Baracuta Morrissey vintage fit G9 Melton Wool Harrington jacket isn't riding on the back of the ex-Smiths frontman's weekend health problems.

The jacket is part of a 'Made in Manchester range' that also includes remakes of classic garments inspired by the likes of fellow Smiths man Johnny Marr, James, members of the Stone Roses  and of course, a Gallagher or two.

But we're looking at the Morrissey one, which is made of a Teflon-protected cotton poplin fabric complete with Baracuta logo satin lining, two buttoned front pockets and elasticated waist and cuffs. So nothing really to tie it to the man himself. If you fancy it, the jacket sells for £159.
