Fila Trezzan – vintage check polo shirts

Fila_trezzan

More fashion reissues from the archive – this time from sportswear firm Fila, which has reissued its Trezzan vintage check polo shirts.

If you recall these at all, then it’s probably from the period 1976 – 1980, when they were famously sported by arguably Fila’s biggest celebrity endorsement – Bjorn Borg. They’re back in a choice of red and cream check or a navy blue and cream, both in 100 per cent cotton and featuring a vintage Fila logo on the arm.

Sold in a presentation box, they retail for £45 each.

Paul Smith retro paisley dressing gown

Ps_dressinggown
Is there a less fashionable garment than a dressing gown? Most of have one, but they either look like a cheap martial arts suit or an oversized towel – both complete with toothpaste stains. Well, Paul Smith has something with a little more character – this men’s archive paisley dressing gown.

It’s a 100 per cotton garment, made from what’s described as an archive sky blue paisley cloth, which I presume means its a vintage design re-discovered and re-made.

Traditional in looks with two pockets and tie fastening and available in a range of sizes, it retails for £80.

Tretorn T-56 – vintage trainers from 1956

Tretorn_t56
We featured the Tretorn Gullwing trainers some time back, but as we’re on a heritage trainer tip, it’s a good time to mention these Tretorn T-56 canvas shoes.

The name reflects the date of design – these were originally produced in 1956 – and over 50 years on, they still look pretty stylish, especially in this violet colour. Nothing revolutionary about the design – canvas upper, rubber sole and a slim and low profile. But it all adds up to a smart bit of footwear.

Yours for £44.99.

Superga 2750 Cotu Classic pumps

Superga
Superga has been making rubber soled footwear in Italy since 1913, so it’s safe to say the brand has some heritage. And while some of the label’s range can probably be classed as weird and wonderful, the simplicity of the Superga 2750 Cotu Classic pumps does work.

A basic white shoe with canvas upper, removable insole and vulcanised rubber sole. For a stroll to the pub on a summer’s day, you can’t go wrong.

They’re available now for £34.99.

Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses return

Wayfarer

I’ve got to be honest, I take about as much interest in celebrity culture as I do the shipping forecast, but I have it on good authority that Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses are making something of a comeback on the so-called beautiful people for the first time since their last revival in the 80s – and they’re back on the high street too.

If you want names, the likes of Sienna Miller, Kate Moss and Nicole Richie have been seen in them of late. But don’t let that put you off, they’re still a timeless pair of shades that should do you some service for years to come, long after the A-list has moved on. After all, they’ve been around since 1952.

You can pick them up in a range of colours, priced at £85.

Adidas Originals windbreakers

Adidas_windbreakers

I’m not sure what the weather’s like where you are, but where we are it’s been pouring with rain for more or less the last week. Time for a jacket to deal with the elements, like these Adidas Originals windbreakers.

Available in a range of colours (including the navy blue and "Brazil" green and yellow above), they’re lightweight jackets with contrast zips, two front pockets, the usual Adidas detailing and that all-important hood (which can be removed if you wish). I’m not sure if these are straight archive reissues or just retro items, but they definitely look straight out of the early 80s.

You can pick one up now in a choice of sizes for around £55.
