Stylish and safe jackets for motorbike and scooter riders are few and far between – but there’s a choice of smart designs on the Corazzo website, including the retro-styled 5.0, Bomber and Shop jackets.
Like many other retailers, Fred Perry is kicking off its Christmas sale early – with most of the discounts already available online and in its stores.
The discounts are said to be up to 50 per cent, although most seem nearer a third – with most of the existing stock getting a hefty chunk off the price tags. And as well as clothes, there’s also a markdown of accessories, including this rather smart retro green and cream holdall, with both handles and straps, vintage laurel motif and two large pockets.
You can bag this now for £28.
Thomas Fox started selling umbrellas in London in 1868. And although he might be long gone, his umbrellas are still going strong, with much in common with those original designs – and with the same quality.
And hanging around the top of the range is this Fox RS2 solid umbrella. This solid, bark chestnut umbrella is made from one continuous piece of wood – which makes it as strong as a walking stick. It has a 25-inch frame, is 36 -inches in height and opens to a 50-inch diameter.
Available with a dark green nylon cover, the RS2 retails for £139.99. if that’s a bit rich, other quality Fox umbrellas are available for half the price.
Plenty of pea coats in the shops right now, so here’s a high-end one and a budget one – but which one is worth the money?
The Maison Martin Margiela pea coat (left) is in navy, with gold buttons, high-fastening, double-breasted front, vertical pockets and composed of 75% wool and 25% nylon. In contrast, the Uniqlo pea coat is available in black or navy, with broad lapels, double-breasted front, slanted pockets and large plastic buttons.
And there’s one other key difference – the Maison Martin Margiela pea coat retails for £505, while the Uniqlo pea coat sells for £69.99. With that in mind, which one would you go for?

As well as making some of the coolest guitars around, Mod Guitars also make some pretty smart t-shirts – including this Mod Guitars Rock Steady t-shirt.
Available in white or olive, the t-shirt looks like a cartoon play on the two tone Walt Jabsco character alongside a black and white check and of course, the label logo.
You can pick one up from the Mod Guitars website, priced at $15.95 (around £8).

A new company under the name of Armadillo Scooter Wear has attempted to update the old parka, replacing it with the Urban Parka.
Available for men and women (the women’s one is pictured here), the Urban Parka is designed for scooter riding and adverse conditions, featuring armour in the shoulders and elbows if you come off, a waterproof/breathable fabric and specific pockets for a mobile, MP3 player and headphone loops.
You can pick one up in the khaki or black, with both costing a lot more than the old army surplus – at £175.
