 Stussy doesn't necessarily come to mind when you think of classic or retro, but this Stussy cord peacoat jacket certainly fit the bill.

Ideal for autumnal days, this is a classic peacoat with a twist, a slighly shorter cut, but with plenty of warmth from that cord construction and padded polyester lining. There's also a thick flock collar, mock double breast button fastening and double inner sleeve cuff design.

All of that for £159.99. A shot of the rear over the page.

Varsityjacket

While concentrating on the myriad styles of fifties fashion for women, it's often easy to forget the appeal of their male counterparts. With the beginnings of truly American frat style taking hold in the fifties and sixties, many lasting pieces of truly American imagery came to the fore.
