Junk de Luxe Space Invaders waterproof jacket

Posted on | Leave a comment

Space_invader_jacket
It isn’t going to boost your cool, but everyone will know of your love of vintage arcade games if you walk down the street in this Space Invaders waterproof jacket from Junk de Luxe.

It’s essentially just a waterproof coat with elasticated waist and cuffs, as well as button-down pockets and concealed hood – and if you’re going for an 80s look, it could be for you. But that legion of arcade aliens all over the body and shoulders is certain to give it appeal from the retro gaming market – if they can find one.

It only seems to be available in Denmark at the Trendlovers website, where you can pick one up for the equivalent of £24.

Not exactly an anniversary – 53 years isn’t a milestone usually celebrated – but Levi’s have created a 1955 package of vintage 501 jeans and a t-shirt.

What you get for your money is a pair of vintage 501XX five-pocket dry jeans with an authentic 1955 cut, zinc button fly, copper rivets and big E Red tab, as well as an off-white/ cream 1950s Levi’s sportswear t-shirt and a vintage-style brown paper laundry bag as packaging.

Which will cost you a total of £159.99. Not the jeans will shrink on the first wash, so choose a size with that in mind.
