Portel Credit Card Wallet
I like the gear made by Portel, they use top grain leather and make their wares by hand, which is something we’d like to see more of.
Style
Norton Commando 961 Cafe Racer
I was happy to learn last week that Norton Motorcycles have begun customer deliveries of the new Norton Commando 961 model. There had been some concern that the bikes weren’t ever going to ship due to financial issues but it now appears that, in true British style, they’ve hunkered down through the tough times and made it through. With a cup of tea in one hand and a biscuit in the other.
Longines Avigation Mono-Pusher Type A-7
The Longines Avigation Watch Type A-7 has an eye-catching black dial offset 50 degrees to make reading it easier in the cockpit of your Ferrari Dino, Spitfire MKV or hydrogen filled, propeller powered Zeppelin.
Ursula Andress Handstand
I love the look on Sean Connery’s face in this shot. I won’t beging to speculate as to what he was thinking, but I’m sure it had nothing to do with Dr No.
Urban Outlaw
This film is a deeply captivating look into the life and times of designer and Porsche builder, Magnus Walker.
Pre-Imperial Pewter Pint Mug – Circa 1780
It might surprise you to learn that there’s a huge community of people who collect pewter tankards like this that date back hundreds of years, a lot of the mugs have the name of the pub they were cast for engraved on them to try to offset the rampant thievery of the era.

The designers at Wotancraft Atelier create some of the most beautiful camera bags in the world, this is their “Paratrooper” model and it’s made from heavy duty waxed canvas and top grain leather.
Hill Climb King
Okay so without a doubt, this is the single greatest hill climbing photograph I’ve ever seen.

Today we’re bringing you a special 10 part feature in collaboration with eBay Motors, they asked us to join other influential websites like Gear Patrol and Hooniverse in producing a Top 10 list of the best stuff we could find on eBay over a 1 week period.
AJS Flower Delivery
I’d love to know the backstory here though I doubt anyone can shed light on it due to the age of the photograph. It appears to be a chap hammering along on a beautiful AJS with a large bunch of flowers tied to the speedometer.
Daisy Duke
Daisy Duke was the first crush for many boys who grew up in the ’70s or ’80s, the Dukes of Hazzard was the TV show that had it all, car chases, scantily clad women, goodies, baddies and a bright orange 1969 Dodge Charger.
Northwesterner Otter Wax Canvas Bag Special
The Northwesterner Otter Wax Canvas Bag Special is a sort of do-it-yourself project that’ll leave you with a handsome canvas bag ready for the winter.
