Adidas Freizeit vintage-style polo shirt

Looking like something straight out of a gents outfitters from the 60s is this Adidas Freizeit polo shirt.

Available in an unusual shade of mint, it’s a three-button polo shirt with contrasting collar and pocket, along with elasticated cuffs and waist. And as near touch, you even get Adi Dassler’s initials on the pocket. Though if your initials are also "AD", you could end up looking a little like Delboy!

Available online, you can pick one up for around £50.

Ralph Lauren Harrington jacket

So, where do you stand on Ralph Lauren? I’ve found myself becoming more attracted to the label of late, probably because of wardrobe dependables like these Ralph Lauren Harrington jackets.

The navy Newport Barracuda (to give it the correct name) has the double-button collar, button cuffs, shaped back and underarm vent, along with a leather zip tab and of course, the Ralph logo. The white Barracuda Jacket is made of a white cotton military twill, button colar, elasticated waist and cuff, shaped back and again, the RL logo.

A change from the more commonly-seen Barracuta Harrington and cheaper – these retail for £95.

Here at Retro to Go we always like it when people come up with great ideas for re-cycling things, and what can be more retro than using old jackets, scrap leather, and re-used jacket buttons to create new trainers.

Well that is exactly what Worn Again have done to create these Jack Tweed trainers. All the materials used are completely re-cycled to create stylish new trainers. These trainers are so cool that they even have celebrity endorsement, and are worn by the likes Cate Blanchett and Fat Boy Slim, but don’t let that put you off!

You can find out more about the story of Worn Again on their website, or you could just buy this pair of great trainers for £65. If you want to do even more to ease your guilty conscience at buying yet another pair of trainers, you could buy the limited edition pair, the Bigger Shoe which are helping to raise money for the Big Issue.
