Liberty1

We featured this way back in February, but now the latest Blank Canvas range from Fred Perry is available to order, a collaboration with iconic department store Liberty of London.

The first batch of designs inevitably includes a classic polo shirt (with vintage Liberty print inner collar), but there's also a short-sleeved shirt (above) and a Harrington jacket (pictured over the page), along with some Fred Perry pumps.

More is certain to follow, but check out the initial batch online now. Prices vary, but as a guide, the polo shirt sells for £85.

the watch also has a super-accurate quartz movement, luminous hands, a date window and water resistance to 160 feet. Yours for just $59.

John Lewis Retro DAB radio

Johnlewis_retro

We have featured specialist John Lewis-branded DAB radios in the past (the bedside DAB and the kitchen DAB to be specific), but the John Lewis Retro DAB radio is an all-rounder, complete with a budget price.

Retro by name and retro by design, an understated glossy case with metal grill, reminiscent of radios from a bygone age. But obviously with that very modern DAB digital radio reception, along with 20 presets, FM reception, a built-in clock and the option of battery or mains power.

Cheap enough at £29.95.

We have been plugging these for some time, because when it comes to World Cup gear, these Fred Perry World Cup Edition polo shirts are as good as it gets.

Get your favourite World Cup-qualifying country in a classic Fred Perry polo (along with Sweden, which is featured, but didn't actually qualify). All these limited editions have the Fred Perry detailing, throwing in an oversized Laurel and country name as the badge, along with the appropriate colours for the country. Unless it happens to be England, where you get red (above) instead of white.

Check out another version (Japan) over the page, with orders now being taken for early May delivery. £59 is the price.

Fiat 500C by Diesel unveiled

Posted on | Leave a comment

Fiat1

The original Fiat 500 by Diesel went on sale around 18 months back, but priced well up on the basic model. So we expect much the same of the forthcoming Fiat 500C by Diesel.

As you've probably guessed, this is another remake of everyone's favourite modern-day retro car, but with Diesel giving treatment to the convertible 500. So the same Diesel detailing on the wheels, side-panels and interior, the same anthracite colourway (pictured over the page) and new blue (above) and beige versions.

No news on price, but it would be wise to budget up on a standard convertible.
