This is the Icon Stryker Vest, most people (myself included) consider it the best looking armoured vest on the market at the moment – it’s packed with D3O® armour, has articulating back-plates, a protective chest shield and adjustable shoulder and waist straps to ensure a snug fit.
This English-built Royal Enfield bobber is loosely based on the 2009 Royal Enfield Electra, that said, there isn’t much of the original bike left other than the engine/transmission and original wiring loom.
This is the Gringo Helmet by Biltwell Inc, it’s a retro full face helmet with full DOT-certification and we’ve been waiting for it with bated breath for months.
When it comes to project cars, you’ll be hard pressed find one more promising than this 1963 Aston Martin DB4 ‘Series V’ Vantage. In some respects, the ‘Series V’ Vantage was actually the beta version of the DB5 – the styling was carried over almost unchanged – which leads many people (including me on occasion) to confuse the DB4 Series ‘V’ with the DB5.
The Edison light globes, with their glowing filaments, have always fascinated me. Modern, energy efficient lighting with LED or fluorescent bulbs are useful for the garage or bathroom but when it comes to a desktop lamp, I think we need something a little cooler.
This is one of those bikes that instantly sets off a huge amount of want in almost all who see it, it’s an original 1934 Crocker Speedway Racer and it’s one of only 30 that were ever made.
These motorcycle boots by Deus Ex Machina are amongst the toughest boots we’ve come across recently. They’re made from 2.00 – 2.20mm rough-out Buffalo hide, they have a handmade Goodyear-welted sole with double-row stitchdown and a USA-made steel toe up front.
The MG K3 Magnette is quite a remarkable motor car, this example actually won the Mille Miglia in 1933 in the hands of the capable racing driver Earl Howe. The Earl is also largely responsible for the model’s existence as he pressured the MG factory to build it, even going so far as to underwrite the development costs.
This beautiful image shows a WWII era Spitfire starting its V-12, 27-litre (1,650 cubic inch) Merlin engine. The Merlin was (arguably) the most successful aircraft engine of World War II…
This film, “The Subculture Of Barbershops”, is an interesting look into the world of the traditional men’s barber.
These Everyday Carry Brass Compass Keyrings are made in Minnesota and come with an unlimited, lifetime warranty. Which is not something you hear all that often in today’s world of flimsy plastic nonsense. Each of the compasses are waterproof, weatherproof and made from solid brass.
Chicara Nagata is one of those Da Vinci types who’ll never be a household name because instead of painting moderately attractive smirking Italian housewives he builds motorcycles, and sadly that just doesn’t have the same mainstream, Louvre-friendly appeal.
