Not the best thing to wear on the modern-day court, but if you want something to wear for kicking about the house and wandering down to the pub, these Lyle and Scott vintage-style tennis pumps could fit the bill.
Made of canvas and with the usual gum sole, the pumps have some neat detailing that makes them a cut above. That includes gold lace holes and that gold eagle embroidered onto the tongue, along with a cushioned insole for extra comfort.
Yours for £44.

Not your average Fred Perry top, but the Fred Perry Vintage Jersey polo shirt still packs a retro vibe.
A 60s-style top you could say, complete with contrast collar and arm cuffs, the collar having an unusual button-down too. Talking of buttons, there are three of those up to the collar too.
Two colour choices available (you can see the other one over page), priced at £59 each.
The craze for pumps shows no sign of going away, which means the makers are digging deeper into the archives to find new styles – the latest being the PF Flyers Sumfun tennis shoes.
These date back to 1947, offering up a lightweight canvas shoe with authentic Posture Foundation insole, 'foxing' detailing and a couple of hardly noticeable concessions to the modern era.
Look out for them in black or white in the coming weeks, no price details available as yet. See over the page for the white version.
