Enamel Mug
The humble enamel mug might be an odd thing to love but the little tin cups hold enormous personal significance for me, they remind me of my Grandfather and of camping trips with my Dad when I was still wearing short trousers.
Gear
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.
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.
Duffel by Topo
Topo Designs is a fantastic little company based in Colorado, right on the foothills of the Rockies. They’re known for making highly durable gear that’ll likely outlive modern civilisation, meaning it should be able to handle the sociopathic baggage handlers at JFK without breaking a sweat.
Vinyl Loudspeaker by Paul Cocksedge
This extraordinary vinyl loudspeaker concept from Paul Cocksedge takes now defunct records and moulds them into a dome that has a significant amplification affect on music when you insert a standard iPhone and hit play.
Kyrano C6 Kevlar Motorcycle Jeans
I’ve been wearing a pair of Kyrano C6 jeans for the past few weeks on and off, I wanted to get a feel for them and see how they’d perform after they’d been worn in.
Leica M Monochrom
Black and white photography is, in some respects, a lost art form. The move away from film to digital and the requisite fixed colour sensor has meant that true black and white photographs are a thing of the past, well perhaps they were till now.
Retro Flip Clock
I love mechanical timepieces, usually we see them being wristwatch based with the occasional pocket watch thrown in for good measure, but what about the old fashioned Desktop Flip Clock?
Rimfire Gloves by Icon 1000
The Rimfire Glove is part of Icon’s new Icon 1000 collection, the glove uses technologically advanced D3O® knuckle armour and an array of convex rivets on the palm to protect your hands from road rash.
Hammer Screwdriver Combination Tool
The Hammer Screwdriver Combination Tool is one of those things we all need around the house, it includes a hammer, claw, 2 phillips and 2 flat-head screw drivers that all screw into the handle when not being used.
Hawley Jacket by Perfecto
The Schott NYC brand has been around seemingly forever, their most recent line is called “Perfecto” having been named after their most famous jacket design.
Lenox Sunglasses by Raen Optics
Raen is a smaller company, focussing on handmade sunglasses for the American market. Their Lenox sunglasses are all made by hand one at a time from 100% Pulp Acetate and have polarised lenses, just the thing for summer.
