The Harrington Jacket has been an affordable staple among Mods, Skinheads, and Scooterists for many years, and with the introduction of Ace Face’s Tonic Harrington, it feels like a good time for a short history lesson on this icon outerwear.

We’ve posted in the past on the Ace Face Clothing Company before. Now the company is back with the swinging sixties equivalent of peanut butter and jelly – two Mod icons brought together – the Tonic Harrington.

We’ve posted on the Adidas / Vespa collaboration a couple of times in the past. Thanks to a heads up from Tracy over at Scooter Swag we’re now made aware of yet more great apparel coming out of this wedding of brands in the form of “Adidas Originals.”

The country’s largest Vespa owners and appreciators scooter rally, AmeriVespa, has opened the doors of its website in preparation for next summer’s get-together. 2011? The Big Easy plays host.

Hot on the heels of my recent adventures in SE Asia, I’m now fortunate to be spending a few days in Paris. In my final post I bid Adieu to Paris but not before a little shopping.
