Once the backbone of the Mod scene, coffee bars and Mods just don't seem to be seen together in the 21st century. With some honourable exceptions. Some words from me, plus a look back on the coffee bar from the late Andrew Longcake. bit.ly/44kaxN9

What goes around, comes around. Retro Spectacle remade the Mod 1 sunglasses, based on the ones Paul Weller wore in the early 1990s. Fast forward to 2026 and Paul Weller (and Steve Cradock) are wearing them on tour. bit.ly/4vUgMmM

Even early noughties reissues go for solid money on disc, so The Action – Rolled Gold 2026 remastered CD should find a decent market. An upgraded version of the band's later demo recordings. bit.ly/4485ijE

Something interesting from the label in the form of these vintage cycling-style Adidas Japan trainers. At least, I think they're cycling inspired - Adidas has these down as bowling shoes in inspiration. Either way, they look good and are a limited edition. bit.ly/4vmFU5i

A surprising hit last year, the Butlins My Generation Mod Weekender at Minehead returns for 2027 with another interesting line-up. bit.ly/42P1TFM

With the sun being out, it's perhaps a good time to look at the tale of Jimmy’s Quadrophenia sunglasses. What are they and where did they come from? bit.ly/4dJhtHZ

Occasionally seen on Talking Pictures, the wonderful Up The Junction movie is also well worth picking up on Blu-ray. A great story and a glimpse at a bygone London. bit.ly/4nIN5lm

There are plenty of variations of this (which I touch on in the feature) but the Merino wool three-button polo shirt at Adam Of London is a gem. bit.ly/4udT5ot
