In my opinion, you’re not worth knowing if you don’t like The Big Lebowski. Keen eyed readers will have already clocked this shirt as the one worn by The Dude when he first hears of the abduction.
The shirt is an exact copy (minus a few stains I imagine) of the classic Japanese baseball shirt worn in the film. For those of you who are worried about who the player is, if you’re asked, you can quip "Oh, it’s Kaoru Betto, who played for the Osaka Tigers in 1948 & 1949… yeah, he was known as ‘the Gentleman of Baseball’. This recreation is faithful to the original and is printed on a tan and brown raglan just like the Dude’s. A must have for $21.95. BUY IT

The shirt is made by Toffs and once you put it on, you’ll be in the garden trying to replicate Pele’s super bicycle kick which one the match for the Allies against Ze Germans. See you in casualty when you’ve landed on your neck funny. BUY IT

For the first time this year, I stepped outside and my teeth began to chatter. Yep, the cold is beginning to bite and I need something to keep me warm.
Well, I’ve already got myself a nice Gloverall Duffel coat, so now I need something to keep my hands warm, and these Bennie and Olive Left/Right Mittens will do the trick nicely… and they look ace! Always handy for those who struggle with following directions, or, for the brawlers of you, people will be able to identify you mean right hook from afar.
Since Alan ‘Fluff’ Freeman sadly passed away recently, people have been falling over themselves to pay tribute to the great man.
With his familiar welcome of "Greetings, pop pickers" and triumphant, brassy theme tune, Alan "Fluff" Freeman was an institution in British radio. He spent more than 40 years in broadcasting, but his enthusiasm never waned.
Unless you’re a celebrity, you won’t be asked on your opinion on the sad passing of Fluff… but that doesn’t mean you can’t pay a very public tribute. Buy yourself one of these ace T Shirts from the clever sods at TShirts365 and start saying "Not’Arf" to complete strangers. Can’t grumble at £15 either. BUY IT
Cardigans for men are very much de rigeur this season, but if you think they’re too fuddy-duddy for your taste, then this sporty little Adidas number may be more to your liking. It’s a wool-knit cardie from Adidas’s 1970s Carlo Gruber range. We like it a lot.
£70 from the Adidas Originals store. BUY IT
