The swingingest name in denim from the King's Road of the 1970s, Jean Machine is a true blue Brit brand now rescued from the archives and reanimated online at Mr Porter for spring/summer. They're very nice, never over-complicated and less painful in the pocket than many of the fancy foreign labels we have all come to love in recent years. Jeans, a jacket and some unfussy, deniminspired tops round out the revived spring/summer range.

There's nothing like that feeling of comfort when something really fits, or when nothing else seems to look as good. One brand that seems to have that down are Palladium. Who would have thought considering that they only began to produce hard wearing footwear after the aviation industry started to decline post-World War II. Since then they have been known for their durability, comfort and functionality with timeless styles such as the Pampa. Which has been reinvented for a new generation with the Men's Blanc Collection, launching at Selfridge's this month. The classic style staple has been updated with colour contrast versions, keeping the authentic Palladium design that has stayed relevant for the last sixty years. To celebrate the launch of the Blanc Collection, Palladium have created the video series "Streets in Focus", showing London, New York and Sao Paulo.

It used to be that when you needed a new pair of bespoke shoes, you would visit your cordwainer for the first of several involved consultations. Now, as with everything else, you can do it from the App Store as Swiss luxury goods house Bally introduces Scribe Made-to-order. The service allows you to choose and design every aspect of your new favourite shoe, from the style to the type of leather, the colour and the exact fit. (In this social media-driven world, there's little point in buying new shoes be if you can't share them with 400 of you closest friends via Facebook and Twitter.) The shoes will be made at Bally's Swiss atelier and sent to your door, but Scribe subscribers will have to leave the sofa at some stage - the final tweaks to your order have to be finalized at your local store
