Clothes
Link to product rather than actual product immediately available for sale. Personally marked-up and used rel-product ideas to link to the shop.

Mark-up:
<div class="hproduct"> <img src="#" alt="polo shirt" class="product-thumb" /> <h3 class="product-type">Polo Shirt</h3> <h4 class="product-title">Coxmoor</h4> <p class="p-v"><span class="property">Colour:</span> <span class="value">289 Rush</span></p> <p><a href="poloshirt/coxmoor/" title="Buy This Online" rel="product">Buy This Online</a></p> </div>
CDs
Additionally the site has links to products on Amazon.

The use of Non-visible property names made it possible to have an invisible property of 'artist'. Having Artist: The Kinks was not in the visual specification of the Ben Sherman site.
