The Jack Spade Reyn Spooner hipster wallet

By mofgimmers on June 12th, 2007

Jackspadehipsterwallet

There is no question that the Jack Spade Reyn Spooner Hipster Wallet is a bit of a gobful, but that shouldn’t matter. The Hipster backs up any tongue tied fumblings with a super cool retro style.

The wallet is made from Reyn Spooner’s Lahaina Sailor reverse print that features Hawaii’s state bird, flower, tree, and flag, and was originally introduced in 1964. Features include four card sleeves, interior zipper pocket, and a bill sleeve with divider.

Retailing at $95 and available to buy if you click here.

Monsoon weekend bag

By Isabelle on June 12th, 2007

Monsoon_bag
Monsoon are really excelling themselves with their bags this season, they’re all pretty decently priced and look quite smart too. I like this large khaki holdall, the contrasting green and striped straps give it a casual chic. The muted tones will look good with most outfits and be suitable for anything from a short business trip, impromptu citybreak or stag do. Costing a reasonable £40 it’s well worth upgrading from your shabby old camping rucksack.

Superdry Kojak Sunglasses

Superdry, the company that produces those "Osaka" prints that you
see from time to time, are in the the midst of releasing their new
Summer range. I was going review one of their t-shirts, but when I saw
these I just had to bring them to your attention.

Inspired by the lollipop-lickin’, follically challenged ’70s TV sleuth Kojak, these glasses (£24.99) are a cooler and more original alternative to all the over sized, bug-eyed Victoria Beckham style sunnies that everyone seems to be wearing. Who loves ya baby?

Ted Baker Mortar Satchel

By admin on June 11th, 2007

Personally, I don’t carry anything about my person that doesn’t fit into my sagging pockets or can’t be transported in my clumsy hands. Does that mean I can’t own this bag? Hell no. When a bag looks this good, you don’t need to care what’s inside. In this case, it’s very much what’s on the outside that counts.

Made from tarnished leather with brass-studded straps, the Mortar satchel (£120) from Ted Baker compliments the casual, bookish/nerdy look but would look just as good with a slick Mod suit. So what if you don’t have anything to put in it. Stuff it with old socks or something.

Pyramid studded Topman belt

Topmanstud
Maybe it’s thanks to emo but fetish influences made a big appearance on the catwalk. This doesn’t mean you have go down the rubber gimp suit route (although if that’s what you want that’s fine too!) but a leather jacket, shiny fabrics and studs are all a subtle nod to the trend.

Topman’s narrow belt (£12) is a great example with its small mixed metal studs and it would look good used to discreet enliven a work outfit.

Steakbutton_2

Proper chefs have a pretty good idea of how long to cook their steaks. That’s because they’re chefs. However, for those of you, who are like me, can let things go a bit awry in the kitchen, things can get tricky when you’ve got someone asking for a rare steak. Help is at hand!

These Steak Button Thermometers are retailing for $15 and are reusable. A 1" diameter gauge tells you whether your meat is rare, medium, or well done. Well worth investing in and saves you from a few disgruntled stomachs.

Cool Analog Belt

By admin on May 25th, 2007

Agbelt Unless you’re a girl, over sized and conspicuous belt buckles are pretty naff. You only have to think of a particular design and the label that its lumbered with to feel all cringey and jelly-like.  An American eagle means you’re a Hell’s Angel. A skull and you’re a goth. Any band names makes you fourteen. MOSCHINO in large, dimante letters: Twat.

It’s high time that men should call out to be able to wear something bold and refreshing at waist level without the fear of arrest, persecution or being laughed at by their mates. And Analog Clothing have answered that call. The Analog Segment Belt (£29.99) has a simple enamel and chrome design. The deep yellow looks great for summer, and you can pretty much wear it with anything from a dark pair of jeans to pale shorts. Just make sure you don’t end up covering it up with a baggy top!

Retro birds courier bag

By Isabelle on May 24th, 2007

BirdiebagAs a human of the lady persuasion I love things with little birds on, and this bag is no exception. Managing to combine sweet little retro birds with good pocket skills this vintage style courier bag nevertheless manages to look quite, well, manly. it is a woman’s bag but don’t let that stop you, I think it’s a lot better than some of the manbags out there.

On top of all this it’s reduced to a very reasonable $38 from Gama Go which leaves you plenty of money for stale bread. For the birds obviously, see where I’m going with this? I could go down the "spending money on the non-feathered variety of birds" route, but I won’t.

Paul Smith paisley dressing gown

By mofgimmers on May 23rd, 2007

Ps_dressinggown

I’ve been toying with the idea of buying myself a paisley smoking jacket for a while now. I fancy the idea of strutting ’round my house and smoking a pipe and coupling up a paisley smoker with a cravat or something. Well, with perfect timing, Paul Smith have designed this killer paisley dressing gown which can either be seen as high bedroom fashion, or as a super retro H.A.P.P.Y dresser.

It’s a 100 per cotton and made from what’s described as an
archive sky blue paisley cloth. Traditional in looks with two pockets and tie fastening and available in a range of sizes, it retails for £80. Click here and get your card out.

Scarf_2

More psychedelic goings on here with this smart paisley silk scarf. The silk scarf is perfect for those of you who fancy yourself as a bit of a dandy… but not only that… for the more macho bloke, this scarf is also very mod-esque. Coupled with a sharp tailored suit, you can strut peacock style down to the paper shop when you’re buying your milk and cigs.

This scarf was found on eBay and is going for just under a tenner (a bargain!) and a great addition to the wardrobe to wear this summer.

Burton mesh black and blue belt

By ShinyMedia on May 17th, 2007

Belt

 

This mesh belt is a nod to the sporty trend without going the full be-shellsuited hog. The bright blue is also in vogue so for a mere tenner you can update your look in a myriad of ways. Ok, only two ways but that’s pretty good for the cost of three pints in a London boozer. Wear with pale grey trousers and a short sleeved grey shirt for a modern look.

Pink embroidered silk tie

By mofgimmers on May 17th, 2007

TieSo, you’ve checked the floral shirts and retro gear out. What about those of you who aren’t brave enough to go the whole hog and get decked out in flowers? Well, one way of brightening up a plain shirt is with an exciting tie, and this Debenhams effort is a great paisley number that exudes retro cool.

Going for a very reasonable £11.20 (in their current sale), this tie is 100% silk and dry clean only. It’s pink, but that didn’t stop a certain panther being the hippest cat on the block.

Peckham Rye knitted tie

By ShinyMedia on May 17th, 2007

Peckhamtie

Peckham Rye make the most perfect ties, avoiding being trendoid (yes that’s a word!) skinny they’re just the right kind of slim. The colour is so deep and rich on the tie it’s well worth £55. Their knitted ties give great texture to an outfit, and look good teamed with a shirt and cardigan. In this warmer weather you might want to wear it with a short or rolled sleeve shirt and a lightweight anorak or parka.
