Frank Sinatra
This is possibly the best shot of Frank I’ve ever seen. If, like me, you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to win at life, now we know.
Style
Marlon Brando – The Wild One
The Wild One kickstarted a whole generation of motorcyclists, the Triumph that Brando rides in the film is still a hugely popular model for vintage bike enthusiasts.
TRIWA Herr Judit
The Herr Judit Automatic is a timepiece developed by TRIWA in collaboration with the legendary vintage shop Herr Judit in Stockholm. The style is classic with a dollop of contemporary and it has a look that will quite literally never go out of style.
Florio by Suixtil
Suixtil is a company with a remarkable racing history, they dressed both Stirling Moss and Juan Miguel Fangio throughout the 1950’s with both Moss and Fangio wearing Suixtil in the car as they took multiple wins and F1 World Championships.
iPad Case by Stash
Usually I’m very careful about bold colours, however, I’ve learned the hard way to use brighter colours when it comes to wallets, laptop bags and iPhone/iPad cases. It makes them a lot harder to lose or leave on the backseat of a cab.
Tracker by Deus Ex Machina
Deus are most famous for their motorcycle and clothing lines but what a lot of people don’t know is that they build some of the coolest retro surfboards available south of the equator.
Elsinore Boot by Icon 1000
The Elsinore Boot by Icon is part of their all new Icon 1000 range, the collection is made up of no-nonsense helmets, boots, clothing, gloves and other gear, largely designed to survive and thrive in a post apocalyptic, overrun-with-zombies future-scape from hell. Meaning they’ll be able to handle your regular commute without blinking an eye.
Roland Sands Design – 74 Tee
With the fast approach of summer our attention slowly shifts to sunny days at the beach and long drives down coast roads. This retro tee from Roland Sands Design captures the spirit of a summer well spent
Vintage Flight Vest by GRP
I love finding little boutique clothing manufactures that still produce garments the same way they did when Blower Bentleys roared around Brooklands. GRP is a little Italian knitwear maker based in Carmignano, this is their Vintage Flight Vest and I like it a great deal.
Clark Gable and his Dusenberg
Clark Gable and his Dusenberg reminding us all that we’re just not as cool as we might think.
Shwood Ashland in Zebrawood
Shwood is a Portland, Oregon based company that hand makes these remarkable sunglasses from sustainably harvested African hardwoods. This pair, called the ‘Ashland in Zebrawood’, has high grade Carl Zeiss lenses with 100% UV protection, stainless steel hinges and a multi-ply wooden frame.
Bell & Ross PW1
This beautiful time piece is called the Bell & Ross PW1 and it’s one of their newer creations, it’s a pocket watch in every sense of the word and may very well be the purist distillation of minimalist watch design I’ve ever seen.
