MoJo Mod-themed snooker and pool cue

Posted on | Leave a comment

Modcue_2
When it comes to customisation, snooker cues aren’t the things that obviously spring to mind. But MoJo are offering just that with the Mod-themed snooker and pool cue.

What you get is a 2-piece carbon-fibre MoJo cue (apparently more durable than the old wood cues) with a soft case (or optional hard case) and titanium fittings for the join. And for "Mod-themed" read targets – not your usual targets, but a smart design all the same.  The design is actually part of the construction, so no chipping or fading over time.

New to the UK and limited edition, you can pick one up for £55 with a soft case or £60 for a hard case.

Mario Matteo doubled breasted overcoat

Posted on | Leave a comment

Matteo_coat
Another take on a classic style, the Mario Matteo doubled breasted overcoat mixes up the pea coat, the military coat and the traditional overcoat.

It’s a navy cotton moleskin coat, with a double breasted front (8 buttons), ‘scarf loops’ on either shoulder (or epaulettes for the rest of us), two large pockets on the front and a ticket pocket above one of the front pockets. The cuffs also feature ‘working’ buttons, there’s a single vent and the whole thing has a satin lining.

It did retail at Start London for £450, but you can pick one up in the sale for £320.

Retro-styled whistling stovetop kettle

Stove_kettle
For most people, a kettle is just a household item of convenience – with only Dualit making any concession to design. But if you’ve got some time on your hands and want something with a cool retro look, you should check out this whistling stovetop kettle from The Linen Works.

You do need a bit of extra time because it does take long for a stovetop kettle to boil than a main-powered model. But at least you can look at the cool blue and white enamel design while you’re waiting and you get to enjoy the whistle when it’s coming to the boil.

It can be used on any cooker surface and retails for £31.50.

Graceland – An Interactive Pop-Up Tour

Posted on | Leave a comment

Graceland_book
I can’t say I’m the biggest Elvis fan – apart from a few of honourable exceptions, I can take or leave him. But I’ve always been keen on visiting Graceland – just to see first hand that money doesn’t necessarily buy you style.

It doesn’t look like I can stretch to a trip this year, but I can afford the next best thing – Graceland – An Interactive Pop-Up Tour. As the name suggests, you get access to three-dimensional spreads of nine rooms on the house, including the Music Room, Television Room, Jungle Room, Trophy Room, Kitchen and Meditation Garden.

Each room also has interactive elements, including a removable cut-out pair of Elvis-like sunglasses – worth the price alone. And there’s a foreward by Priscilla Presley.

Available now from Amazon.com for $26.40
