Burton introduces £70 wool pea coat

Burton_peacoat
I’m not a regular shopper at the local Burton store, but if you happen to be after something classic like a pea coat as the temperatures drop, you might want to check out this wool pea coat from the store.

It’s very much the classic pea coat in black – double-breasted, two lower pockets, two handwarmer pockets and made of 50 per cent wool mixed with 50 per cent viscose. It is also machine washable.

All that for a reasonable £70 outlay.

The Who Target Shoelaces

Who_target_shoelaces There is no shortage of products on the market featuring the target symbol. It would be quite easy to decorate your home and clothes yourself entirely in target patterned items. I really thought I had seen them all, but then I saw these, The Who Target Shoelaces.

There isn’t much else to say about them really – they are shoelaces decorated with The Who target logo. They are being sold by Atom Retro who describe them, rather optimistically, as the perfect sixties mod accessory. Probably one for the die-hard Who fan only.

Fred Perry all black bowling shoes

Fredperry_bowling
I’m very much a ‘bowling shoes are for bowling’ man, but I know there’s a good few people out there who like the idea of wearing them out and about. And if that’s you, these Fred Perry all black bowling shoes look the best of what’s on the retail market.

Made by Swear for Fred Perry, the shoes are in black leather with contrasting piping and laces, with rubber botton and subtle laurel logo.

The one downside is the price – a rather hefty £90.
