Here’s the second sporty jacket of the week, now’s a good time as they’re on sale and it’s not exactly summer yet. Front zip with big ring pull thingy so you can control your bodily temperature like a lizard on a cloudy day.

This is quite a lairy number so you’ll have to accompany it with some plain, subtle trousers otherwise you’ll look like Fred out of Scooby Doo.

This Adidas CG Axam Sweater is £35. Shipping is £4. BUY

Subside Sports is a big online sports retailer with lots football related stuff and gear for other sports too, also with casual clothes too.

Dum da Dum Dum emails SmartGeezer with the following conundrum:

So, now that the course of the American dollar is down, does it make sense to buy clothes from there? Or is the shipping and customs etc. much?

A very valid and astute question Dum da Dum Dum, and not the hairy kind but the wise kind.

The US Dollar is going down quicker than a cheap hooker on rent day, so the value you can get for your ‘Queen’s Quid’ is extremely good. Currently, the conversion stands at virtually double meaning that $2 = £1. Prices in the States are basically the same in dollars as they are here in pounds, so it’s effectively a permanent half price bonanza over there in Yanksville.

Am I friggin crazy on this one?

My eyes say No but my heart says Yes. For God’s sake this is a pair of Miami Vice, sockless, beach shoes, why am I even thinking that this pair is anything remotely approaching ‘purchasable’?

Are my internal struggles valid? What do you think? Vote and drop us a comment.

Bagga Menswear recently been redesigned so it’s infinitely easier to find stuff which is a good thing for you, bad for your bank account. Loads of top notch stuff from the upper echelons. Yes, I just used the word ‘echelon’.

As a general rule, I’m not a fan of Diesel trainers, not any of their footwear to be honest with you but I saw these and they changed my old world, stuck in the mud former beliefs.

The trouble is they have too many lines, colours and ‘bits’ stuck on them. Like a boy-racer with too many Halfords gift vouchers. This pair (which apparently has no name) is real nice though. Just your basic blue, grey and white, subtly done and not overcooked on gas mark ‘I’m-Trying-Too-Hard’.

This pair of unnamed blue Diesel trainers are £40. Shipping is £6. BUY
