The Jack Spade Reyn Spooner hipster wallet

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.

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

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.

Paul Smith Pinhole Camera

Father’s Day is just around the corner (June 17th folks!) so it seems like a perfect opportunity to spoil yer old pa, or better still, if you’re a parent yourself, to get yourself a little present. Often, gifts on Father’s Day revolve around some new socks or some crappy tankard with some ale… well why not get something a little more unusual this year?

Paul Smith (yes, that one) has decided to make up some pinhole cameras! For £20 you get a complete kit which constructs a 35mm pinhole camera with innovative light tight clamshell design. Made of super tough 1mm black cardstock with plastic spools advance. Assembles in 1-2 hours with no cutting or glue. Step by step illustrated instructions. Produces professional results from all types of 35mm film. Aperture 16mm, focal length 20mm F stop: F/130, 75 grams. Size w-110mm h-70mm d-3. A winner! Click here to find out more

Pyramid studded Topman belt

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.

Cool Analog Belt

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!

Paul Smith paisley dressing gown

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.

Vintage silk scarf

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.

Pink embroidered silk tie

So, 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.
