Penfield Pac-Jac 35th anniversary jacket

Penfield

Penfield is this year celebrating 35 years of business, so what better way of celebrating than by bringing back a classic – the Penfield Pac Jac 35th anniversary jacket.

It's a subtle twist on the original Pac-Jac (aka the lightweight trail jacket) from the 1980s, offering up that packable design, wind and water resistance, an adjustable Hood and waist cinch, vented back section, elasticated cuffs and that all-important 35th anniversary zip pull.

Certain to be limited, you can pick one up online for £80.

Alvar Aalto 1950s A110 ceiling lamp for Artek

Alamp

Often referred to as the Hand Grenade, the Alvar Aalto A110 ceiling lamp is back on the market, courtesy of Artek.

Designed back in 1952, it mixes midcentury with minimalism, two cylinders (one inside the other) leave a gap so the light is reflected upwards, while a perforated brass ring at the bottom diffuses the light downwards as an added bonus.

Made of lacquered aluminium, with that polished brass ring and able to be hung solely or in a group, the light sells for 275 Euros.

Homebase Atom 12 space age light fitting

Homebase_atom

We're not sure about this. We did feature a similarly-named light fitting at Heals a few weeks back, which looks incredibly similar to the Homebase Atom 12 light fitting. Is it the same? We're not sure, but one thing is certain – the Homebase one is considerably cheaper.

The Heals light is £175, while the Homebase take is £99.99 – and possibly even cheaper. For that money, you get a hip, 60s-style, space age light fitting made of a mix of metal and glass, those protruding arms each holding a light powered by a G4 bulb – 12 in total.

A feature light without the feature price – and as Homebase is doing 15 per cent off everything for the next two days, it's probably even cheaper than that £99.99 price too right now.

Test card mug

Test card mug

Back in the days before we had hundreds of channels of TV available 24 hours a day, the test card was a familiar sight. This test card mug features what was perhaps the most commonly remembered test card, the one showing a girl playing noughts and crosses with clown.

Officially known as test card F, it was first broadcast in 1967 and this version was used on the BBC until 1999. It's also been spoofed many times, by everyone from Johnny Vegas to The Mighty Boosh. 

Perfect for supping from while you watch the telly, the mug costs £6.46.

1980s Puma Dallas trainers get reissue

Dallas

We're taking a trip through Puma's archives today, stopping off in the 1980s for the return of the Puma Dallas.

Not the most well-known Puma shoe, but one of the more stylish, the Dallas was big on the breakdancing scene (which probably dates it fairly well), but returns for more gentle use in suede with leather detailing and a clean white sole.

A couple of colour variations available, priced at £54.99.
