Rocket 80s-style cassette deck shelf

Rocket2

How useful it is I don't really know – but for impact, you can't really fault this Rocket cassette deck shelf.

Rocket is the name of the designers rather than the product (which I think is simply called 'shelf'), but is part of a wider collection based on the two designers' 'common infatuation with rock n roll and disco culture'.

In this case, an 80s-style, in-car cassette deck that mixes 2D and 3D elements, specifically wall vinyl and the wooden 'cassette' shelf. The entire design is around 42 inches wide, the shelf part covering 11.7 inches. Two colour options, both available online for £95.

Woolistic vintage replica cycling jerseys and training tops

Cycling

When it comes to the gear, is there a cooler sport/pastime on the planet than cycling? If the bikes don't get you, the clothing will, especially these Woolistic vintage replica cycling jerseys.

Woolistic gear is designed in Switzerland and made in Italy, offering up classic cycling designs of years gone by – the Molteni spring wool trainer on the left dates back to the late 60s and is a single-ply knit, made of Merino wool. On the right is the Faemino out of Italy, which dates from around 1970, again Merino wool and like all in the range, sold in limited numbers.

Getting them isn't easy though. In the US, check out Vintage Velos or in the UK, Bromley Video carries some of the designs. The price of these handmade tops is around £145.
