Rapha and Timothy Everest three-piece 1930s-style cycling suit

Posted on | Leave a comment

Timsuit

Classic cyclewear maker Rapha has teamed up with Savile Row tailor Timothy Everest to produce a three-piece suit that's good for both the bicycle and the boardroom.

Apparently inspired by 'gentleman riders of the 1930s', the suit has taken 12 months to develop and offers up a luxury wool jacket, waistcoat and trousers or plus fours in a Prince of Wales check, with plenty of detailing for the modern cyclist.

That includes a 'storm collar' to keep out the elements, fixed pockets, rear buttoned pockets, a shoulder pleat for extra reach and turndown cuffs (with bright inner for extra visibility). The suit is only available fully bespoke, if you want one, the three-piece costs £3,500. Email Timothy Everest to find out more.

Greenstar2

A classic no-nonsense trainer has been reissued, with the Adidas Greenstar looking every bit as relevant today as it did all those years ago.

The Greenstar was first seen back in 1970 and this terrace classic is described as a  'one-to-one replication' of the original as part of the company's '60 years of Soles and Stripes' range, available in three colours, each with soft suede uppers, contrast detailing and the Greenstar name on the heel.

Yours for £55.

Fila_laverna

Fila has some old school cool on the market just in time for the summer, this Fila Laverna knitted polo shirt.

It's a classic look, not a million miles away from the Fred Perry knitted polos, but with the gold Fila logo embroidered on the chest rather than the laurel, couple wit a striped black and white body and black collar and cuffs.

Not badly priced either, yours for £45.

Paul Smith limited edition Oakley Frogskins

Posted on | Leave a comment

Oakley

Last year, we featured the limited reissue of the Oakley Frogskins, which were originally launched by the company back in the mid-1980s. The reissue must have proved successful, as they're back again – this time as a collaboration with British fashion legend Paul Smith. They're even more exclusive this time around, with only 500 copies available for each of the four colourways.

The designs are all in vibrant colours, inspired by the surf and skate scene where they first became popular. Each pair carries the Oakley signature on the outer stem and Paul Smith Jeans Limited Edition Frogskins on the inside, just to prove how special they are. A pair will cost you £170.
