The Australian Desert Boot has been an iconic piece of footwear since long before my time, the boots were originally designed for desert use and have soles designed to sink and slide as little as possible on loose sand, they also have minimal laces allowing the wearer to whip them off and empty out sand with as little fuss as possible.
I’ve become enthralled with natural, uncoloured leather goods over the past few months. Wallets are especially interesting as they tend to colour as they age, meaning no two are alike.
All the touch screens in the world will never manage to capture the sensation of writing on paper, though in many respects it’s a dying art. These beautiful leather bound journals are each handmade by Julie Boyles in Indiana

I’ve been wearing a pair of Kyrano C6 jeans for the past few weeks on and off, I wanted to get a feel for them and see how they’d perform after they’d been worn in.
Black and white photography is, in some respects, a lost art form. The move away from film to digital and the requisite fixed colour sensor has meant that true black and white photographs are a thing of the past, well perhaps they were till now.
Grain Surfboards build stunningly beautiful boards from locally sourced white cedar, they offer “ready to surf” boards as well as kits for the enterprising do-it-yourselfer…
I love mechanical timepieces, usually we see them being wristwatch based with the occasional pocket watch thrown in for good measure, but what about the old fashioned Desktop Flip Clock?
The Rimfire Glove is part of Icon’s new Icon 1000 collection, the glove uses technologically advanced D3O® knuckle armour and an array of convex rivets on the palm to protect your hands from road rash.
