Ercol’s 1950s anniversary Studio Couch range

Ercol

To celebrate Ercol's 90th anniversary, some of the company's more interesting designs have been made over and reissued, including the Ercol Studio Couch range.

The range was designed by the company’s founder, Lucian Ercolani, and was originally launched in the late 1950s, still keeping that 'look' with the reissue. Both models have the classic bent arms and construction from elm and beech, with the option of going with or without back cushions. There's also the option of different fabrics for the upholstery too.

Two designs in one too, with the ability to use as a sofa or occasional bed. £1,685 is the starting price, varying depending on your choice of finish.

You'll need that early start too, as this 6th (and last) limited edition City Series collaboration is limited to just 500 pairs in the stores, with that matching track jacket also available, limited to just 300 – all numbered of course.

Barbour75

We flagged this up a few weeks back, with December 1st mentioned for a launch date. That never happened, but at last, the Barbour 75th Anniversary International Jacket is finally available to buy online, if you are quick.

As we said back then, it's been produced to celebrate 75 years of the International jacket. Barbour are making 75 of the limited edition jackets, based on the original design, which was created for the 1936 International Six Day Trials. Worn by competitive motorcyclists through to the 1970s and of course, famously by Steve McQueen. Take your pick from a 'box-fresh' or 'distressed' finish (the latter pictured above), both of which are available now.

End Clothing has it, £375 is the price of the 'box-fresh', £425 is the cost of the 'distressed' version.

Pacman

Furniture doesn't have to be boring – it can be a lot of fun with something like the 30th anniversary authentic Pac-Man Arcade Cocktail Table.

Made by Namco, it commemorates the 30th anniversary of Pac-Man and is identical to the cabinets first played in pubs and arcades all those years ago. Yes, same head-to-head gameplay, graphics and sound, with a 'flip' 19-inch LCD screen and authentic four-way joystick control to help you along.

Oh yes, if you get bored of it, there are 12 other iconic arcade games also on board, including Galaga, Galaxian, and Dig Dug. Full details on the retailer's website, the price of it is $3,500.

Barbour 75th Anniversary International Jacket

Barbour75

Not so much a fashion item as a collector's piece – the Barbour 75th Anniversary International Jacket.

To celebrate 75 years of the International jacket, Barbour are producing 75 special limited edition jackets based on the original design, which was created for the 1936 International Six Day Trials – that's how it got the name. Worn by competitive motorcyclists through to the 1970s and of course, famously by Steve McQueen, it's a jacket with a serious heritage, so this limited version in 'box-fresh' or 'distressed' finish is certainly going to be sought after.

Look out for it from December 1st 2010 at Barbour’s Heritage stores, Liberty and independents across the UK – End Clothing has already confirmed it will have stock on that day.
