Yeah Yeah Yeahs “Mosquito”

Right around the time many of you reading this--and the one writing it--graduated high school, Yeah Yeah Yeahs blew the fuck up with their hit single "Maps." It was all over MTV, and VH1 and Fuse and whatever ancient television networks existed back then before you could just watch music videos on YouTube. Even writing ... continue reading

JR iPad App

What originally started as a teenager painting graffiti in Paris evolved into an artist with an unconfirmed identity claiming the world as his gallery. As important as it is to see the TED award winning artist's work in person, it's not exactly everywhere... yet. If you can't make it to one of the few installations ... continue reading

Xetum Kendrick Watches

Dropping a cool thou on a watch is not something to be taken lightly.

Bauhaus Titanium Carabiners

The carabiner has been around forever. At one point it was actually used for climbing, but that purpose has all but been forgotten ever since it was appropriated by men everywhere for use as the missing link between keys and belt loops. We still don't quite understand how having a wallet in your back pocket and sitting ... continue reading

Gustin The Classic Belt

The Classic Belt from Gustin is not overflowing with bells and whistles. It doesn't have a set of handcuff keys inside. There isn't a piece of sawblade, or a knife or piano wire stashed in its 12oz bridle leather confines. It doesn't open bottles or cans. It doesn't have a ridiculous clasp or stash cash, and it isn't ... continue reading

BladeKey Bolt

It doesn't matter if there's a bottle opener, lighter and sixteen different screwdrivers attached to it, keyrings are still kind of a pain in the ass.

Menswear Sites: Now and Then

Michael Siney Steel Clocks

The list of things we're problem buyers of is way too long. Too many pairs of jeans, minimalist art prints, notebooks, watches (and don't even get us started on Kickstarter pens) would fill any number of previously mentioned notebooks. Clocks go on that list too. There might be a total of five naked walls between all ... continue reading

Biting Elbows “Bad Motherfucker”

Finding anything on the Internet that makes us seriously consider the parental ramifications of showing it to our imaginary children is rare. Biting Elbows video for "Bad Motherfucker" is one of those things. The entire music video is POV (not that type of pov you perv) style and views like a real-life, five minute ... continue reading

Supreme x Levis Type 1 Jacket

We've always known that there were a bunch of customization options available from Levi's for their eponymous "trucker" jacket (corduroy, collars, colors), but we didn't know until very recently that the jacket you probably already have hanging in your closet is also known as the "Type III" Jacket. Why does that little ... continue reading
