Bear Archery Grizzly Recurve Bow
A few years ago on eBay I made one of those impulse buys at 2am that saw me receiving a Bear Grizzly Recurve Bow by Fed Ex a week later.
Steam Trunk
After seeing this picture I’ve realised that we need to bring back steam trains. I’ve also realised that the Beetle used to be a very popular car.
1962 Moretti 2500 SS Coupe
This beautiful 1962 Moretti 2500 SS Coupe with coachwork by Carrozzeria Moretti is one of only 20 to have ever been made, it’s powered by a 2500cc carburettor fed straight-6 with 170hp.
Lensatic Cruiser Compass
A solid compass is one of the most important things a man can own, the lensatic compass is (I think) the best type of compass that exists, ipso facto, every man should own a lensatic compass. Or at least this is how I tried to explain it to my Mrs.
XS650 Café Racer by Alexandre Trotin
Alexandre is one of those guys who seems to have life better figured out than me. Not only is he training to be a luxury yacht captain, he’s living in Guadeloupe, a stupendously beautiful Caribbean island paradise.

Any audiophile will tell you that speakers are everything. Up until now though, it hasn’t been possible to make speakers out of anything. These glass jar speakers by designer Sarah Pease are made using the open source speaker design..
Airship Hangar
Airships represent an alternative form of air transport that I secretly wish was far more commonplace. I’d happily spend 5 days cruising across the Atlantic on a luxurious cruise between London and New York and I’m sure I’m not the only one.
Nortorious by Goldammer Cycle Works

Desert Boot by Deus
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.
Bugatti Barn Find
The barn find is a dream held by many, some men spend their entire lives driving around the country, visiting old widows and creaking open doors to long forgotten garages in the hope that as their eyes adjust to the darkness, they’ll see something just like this.
Christine – The Nitros Huffing Honda VTR1000F
I love bikes with a back story. And this bike, Christine, has a hell of a story to tell. She started life as a stock 1998 Honda VTR1000F before being involved in a traffic accident so severe that it likely would have been the death-knell for most motorcycles.
Classic Bifold Wallet by Corter Leather
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.
