Adidas_vespa

We featured the Adidas Vespa trainers a shirt while back, but now there's some clothing too – including the Adidas Vespa track top.

A typical vintage track top, with classic Adidas stripes and logo, along with branded arm vents and high collar. But as it's also a Vespa collaboration, it's also got the Vespa logo on the breast, as well as a large stitched Vespa logo on the back – check that out over the page.

Strictly limited numbers, you can pick one up for £69.

Hangup

Loving the clever design of these hangUP Arcade coat hooks.

They're handmade, using genuine arcade parts, built into a real wood plaque, with a choice of colour for the joystick (black, red, blue, green, pink, yellow and white). There's also the option of choosing how many 'players' you want – three or four, both with corresponding button.

And best of all, it's an affordable piece of design too. A 3UP hook sells for £31.99, while the 4UP is yours for £34.99, both including UK delivery.

Crazy Fairisle Scarf from Urban Outfitters

Fairisle scarf

Ponchos often appeal for lovers of the slightly eclectic folkie style of the late sixties and early seventies, but are much less than practical most of the time. Unless you're spending most of your year at festivals, you'll rarely find regular use. This Fairisle scarf from Urban Outfitters could be an effective, versatile alternative, though.

It certainly looks the part in design, with an ethnically inspired colourscheme that's slightly subdued for a folkier look. The fairisle pattern fits perfectly, set off with a tassled edge. The scarf itself is oversized for use as a cape, scarf or generally hip looking source of warmth. The best part is the versatility, with a weight that's ideal for both Winter days or cool Summer evenings.

It's available from Urban Outfitters UK for the rather reasonable price of £20.
