After some 3 years, Sivletto has launched a brand new web shop. One of the new features is combination offers, so currently you'll get a discount on a Hawleywoods Layrite t-shirt if you buy Layrite pomade.
The graphics are very retro and cool, and the navigation is improved. And yes, they ship worldwide.

One of the most popular posts here has been the one about Tony Alva mid skool by Vans.
Now over a year later, Vans has re-issued the Classic Midtop Alva designed back in the Dogtown days.
Now in all black suede and leather with black gum sole! If you're keen on a pair, don't waste your time. We suggest you order a pair from Caliroots.com
As Lacoste celebrate their 75th anniversary right now, they are reissuing some nice things from their back catalog. First seen in 1983, this new edition of the hard court tennis shoe is available in a new black and white colour scheme with polyurethane mid-sole and outsole and an upper of suede, leather and nylon mesh. And just so everyone knows they're limited, the tongue branding is an authentic replication of the 1933 Lacoste crocodile.
Vans pay tribute (or simply cash in, your choice) to Johnny Ramone. It might not give you instant ability to churn out those classic Ramones tunes on your geetar but at least you'll look the part.
Due to launch in spring 2008, the collection includes a t-shirt with concert shot on front and Ramones logo on back (£25), Johnny Ramone stone washed grey super skinny jeans (£60) and a slip-on featuring the man and his signature (£38).
We featured the Tony Alva Mid by Vans a while back. The Vans Era is even more old school, and such a classic. Introduced back in 1976 and still going strong.
This fall you can get a pair of Vans Era with a red, black and grey flannel fabric on the front part and on the heel. Also available with a slightly more subtle monochrome fabric. Perhaps a bit too much grunge, but still a rather fetching look.
Edit 26 october 2009: these shoes were sold by caliroots.com but that was almost two years ago. I think these days eBay is your best bet.
Tatty Devine is famous for unique and quirky accessories. The pair behind it all, Harriet Vine and Rosie
Wolfenden, have no formal training as jewellers. They met studying Fine
Art at Chelsea School of Art in 1996, and had planned to become artists
until Harriet found some bags of leather samples on the way home from
the pub one night. The duo made some leather cuffs to sell at
Portobello and Spitalfields markets, and Tatty Devine was born!
Right now you can pick up their cool High Heel Shoes bracelet for £44 (£55). Available in blue, pink or silver. Find out more at the Tatty Devine website.
We interrupt this broadcast with a special news bulletin for all skateboard fans out there. The cool Tony Alva "mid skool" model is back. Canvas, gum sole, nice suede. Like totally radical, dude.
You'll find them in the Cali web shop
Adidas comes up with this stylish black leather basket weave version of the
classic Rod Laver shoe.
Perhaps not suitable for the tennis court but a rather suave shoe for everyday wear. Quality! You can pick them up online from the Cali website, priced at approx $128.

The ever classic Converse sneaker. But wouldn't it be nice with a pair in leather so they'd last longer, and with a cushioned insole for more comfort? Look no further. Fashion dude John Varvatos has designed this vintage styled All Star. Treated leather upper, waxed laces that won't snap and an out sole that has been hand finished with brush strokes (!).
