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.

Oki-ni has teamed up with Fred Perry for a new limited edition range of clothing for autumn/winter 2007 – based on a vintage Fred Perry shirt for Action Man.

That shirt featured an oversized logo – seen here now on the Fred Perry Little Big Action Man range, a selection of items featuring a slimline fit and 1950s-style logo. First up is the the Little Big Action Man Polo Shirt (pictured here), made of 100% cotton heavy pique with press stud buttons and wide tartan green tipping. It has no top stitching to give a cleaner finish and retails for £75.

The Little Big Action Man Track Jacket is also made in 100% cotton heavy pique with no top stitching, an oversized zip and ribbing on the sleeves, collar and waistline. That’s £100.  Finally, the Little Big Action Man Tennis Jumper is a heavy gage cable knit with wide ribbing and a tartan green 50s laurel. That sells for £195.

See images of the latter two items over the page – and if you want any of the items, they will be available from Oki-ni from Thursday 8th November.
