The balaclava and facial hair are about as 70s as you can get – and now you can combine the two with the Bearded Cap.

Made by Icelandic design collective Vik Prjonsdottir, it combines warmth for your head and keeps the snow off your moustache and beard, creating balaclava-like warmth, but with more space for your face to see.

They’re made from 100 per cent Icelandic will and available in three different colours and shapes. No price listed – you’ll have to contact the company via the site for one. Ad while you’re there, check out the other bizarre and quirky designs on offer.

70s-style underwear is in – well, according to maker of pants Jockey and its chosen retail partner Urban Outfitters.

Jockey is launching these 70s-style Y-fronts from this month, initially in the US, but likely in all Urban Outfitters stores in the coming weeks. They’re sold in bold colours with white trim and in sets of three in clear plastic tubes. 100 per cent cotton naturally – although I’m disappointed they didn’t do the full 70s thing and make them in a particularly nasty man-made fibre. And in paisley.

The price is $24 (£12) for a pack.

Good news for anyone on the look out for a new Gabicci top – new designs are now available for 2008 and you can buy them directly from the company online.

The designs above are from the new Gabicci ‘G’ range, based on vintage Gabicci items. There’s around eight short-sleeved knits and 11 long-sleeves, alongside other items, including shits and t-shirts – the latter being pretty hideous to be honest.

Prices vary for the short-sleeved knitwear from £50 to £70, with the long-sleeved knitwear retailing for around £75.

What do you think of the Lyle & Scott knitwear? Personally I’m always put off by the size of the necks – although this Lyle & Scott limited edition tipped V-neck sweater seems to address that.

Apart from the smaller neck, this 100% merino wool has a trim to waist, neck and wrists, the vintage golden eagle logo on the chest and a choice of colours. But best of all, it is limited edition, with just 1,000 units worldwide, so a bit of exclusivity too.

Price is £75.
