You can buy cheap jeans – but good jeans are rarely cheap – unless you pick up a pair of Uniqlo Selvedge jeans.

Why so different? Well, for a start, they’re smart Selvedge jeans, so less chance of fraying or damage. It’s also a quality denim, made at one of Japan’s top denim mills. And then there’s the cut – which is  a straight leg, inspired by vintage styles/cuts. The downside for some might be the colour, which is listed as black, but is actually more of a very dark blue when you seen them up close.

But if you want a pair of dark jeans, these are an absolute steal at £39.99 – much cheaper than a branded vintage remake.

I’m not a particular fan of novelty cufflinks – they’re second only to the novelty tie as a fashion crime. But I’m really taken with these Vintage Robot cufflinks.

Shaped like the classic 50s robot, they’re made from a steel/zinc alloy, enamelled then chrome-plated and are sized at 10 x 20 x 5cm.

Available from the Conran Shop, you can pick them up for a reasonable £13.

Watch just about any British movie until the mid-70s and you’ll be guaranteed that when the rain comes down, the leading man gets his raincoat out. It’s a classic garment, smart and practical – and something you can still pick up.

This Uniqlo single breasted coat is very much in the tradition of the old-style raincoat, a no-fuss garment in a choice of plain colours, with check lining and button front, collar and cuff. And if you’re in the UK, you really need a raincoat.

Available online, you can pick it up for £59.99.
