WILL Leather Goods is a small, Oregon based company that have made such a huge impact with their specific brand of bags and carry alls that they’re now stocked by Nordstrom’s, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Barneys New York.
The Porsche 911 is one of those cars that I think all men should own, at some point in their lives. That’s a statement that’ll make people like Jeremy Clarkson begin to hyperventilate, but at the end of the day, the 911 is an icon and it’s an affordable icon if you go shopping for an ’80s or ’90s era model and don’t mind picking up a wrench occasionally.
This Havana Leather Notebook is designed to be easily refillable with perforated sheet paper, the cover is leather tanned in the L’Aveyron region of France and brass rivets old the spine together.
This 1956 BSA Gold Star TT Flat Track Racer was bought in ’56 by Harvey Farrell and raced at the world famous Daytona Beach course throughout 1957, it was bought from him by a private collector shortly thereafter and has remained untouched, in a small collection since then.
The Mason Jar Speaker & Amplifier is the sort of mini-stereo that’d find a comfortable home in the garage, backyard shed or as an addition to your camping rucksack.
The new Café Racer series of watches by ContaTempo Scuderia are designed to be worn as either wristwatches or around the neck on a lanyard as a stop watch – this strikes me as being quite clever.
When it comes to a weekend off-roader, I’m at a loss to think of anything cooler than a World War II era M3 Half-Track. The M3 pictured here is an original 1943 unit, it’s been fully restored and is now listed as being parade ready, but I say to hell with that. It’d be a sin to own this and not get it at least a little muddy.
The thodio iBox XC is probably the closest anyone has yet come to making a perfect, portable summer stereo – that doesn’t look like a mass-produced piece of plastic.
The Lamborghini Countach is one of the most instantly recognisable motor cars ever made, the styling was a staggering departure from its predecessor (the Miura) – so much so that on the unveiling of the prototype in 1971 a member of the press exclaimed “countach!” a local phrase meaning “holy smokes!”. The name suited the car so well that Lamborghini adopted it, and a legend was born.
This pair of two-tone acetate glasses by Cutler and Gross have a solid, understated appeal and it’s easy to image that they could be worn by a writer, a rocket scientist or a small town mechanic and still look perfectly suitable.
