Based on the much-loved vintage Debbex design, the Mod 1 sunglasses are a modern day remake by Retro Spectacle. You might well recall Paul Weller being a fan, wearing a pair on the Above The Clouds cover. bit.ly/45FqDAF

Looks like it is 30 degrees plus at the weekend, so thought I'd mention my round-up of the 10 of the best Mod and 1960s t-shirt makers and sellers out there. Just in case you need to keep cool. bit.ly/4nAbEAN

Remember when I was discussing Jimmy's Quadrophenia sunglasses some weeks back? I've finally got around to writing it up in feature form, and you can read it on the website. Thanks to everyone who gave their input. bit.ly/4lZoF59

It's Ace new release day folks! Like, share or comment to win one of three sets of new releases. The winners will be drawn out of the hat at 5pm today. 🎩

I would guess this has been bootlegged in the past, but The Jam – Paris Moderne Live in 1978 vinyl is out now in two colour options. bit.ly/45jJmDo

Described as an alternative to the London event, the Midland Mods Mayday 2026 takes place on 9th May 2026. bit.ly/4lUBKNC

You’d think most retailers would offer annual discounts. Not so. This is the first ever Real Hoxton Sale, and it’s worth a browse, as most stuff is in there. bit.ly/3H0TjfM

If you love what I do with the Modculture site or it has helped you in any way, feel free to consider buying me a coffee online to help with the running costs/bills for the site. It's a one-person hobby, and every penny helps. bit.ly/4o8FkVL

The Outer Limits – Just One More Chance Anthology 1965-1968, bringing together all the output of the Leeds Mod band. bit.ly/40Dxnhq

Like much from the label, it looks amazing, but comes at a price. This time it’s the Drake’s blue stripe knitted polo shirt. bit.ly/45kmouR

If you like the brand, then it’s a good time to invest in one of these Ben Sherman short-sleeve check shirts, which are discounted in the sale as low as £20 each. bit.ly/44XJcla

An interesting reissue from the last week as part of the Ace 50th anniversary – the return of the Billy Hawks – Heavy Soul! album via its BGP label. bit.ly/4oi3xt2

I would definitely buy it if this were reality. If they can do a Beatles Lego set, why not one for the Small Faces?

Mods and Lacoste should, on the face of it, be made for each other. But history, and especially the 1980s, has meant that’s not the case. My thoughts on why and if there's a road back. bit.ly/4owzHBd

The Twisted Wheel - Land Of A Thousand Dances 60th anniversary vinyl is a new release from the Charly label. Doesn't look like a rarities set, but it looks like a nice thing to own. bit.ly/4ojPnHN

Another returning gem from the Immediate catalogue, this time a Chris Farlowe – 14 Things To Think About, his debut album as a white vinyl reissue. bit.ly/45Hg41E

The polo shirts (perhaps rightly) get all the attention, but at this time of the year, the Fred Perry twin tipped crew neck t-shirts are a good option too. A couple of them have dropped into the sale too. bit.ly/45rGW4w

Can't find a good summer read? How about rereading Absolute Beginners by Colin MacInnes. Still the best piece of mod fiction around over six decades on, and a book that stands up to multiple readings. bit.ly/4fAEXiN

Coloured discs and a limited edition, The Creation - Biff Bang Pow! vinyl singles box set is now available to pre-order. bit.ly/4fT98lv
