A man acquires a new wallet rarely. One of our editors is still rocking the Stussy velcro wallet he picked up at Hot Topic in 7th grade.

You've got yourself a new iPad, and you've got yourself that brand shiny new copy of Hello Dolly! and you're just jumpin' out of your skin to watch it.

Long ago, cowboys decided to take a little piece of functional hardware--the belt buckle--and turn it into an accessory. We're not about to advocate you go out and get yourself a rodeo-ready belt buckle so big you could eat your eggs off it... unless you happen to ride in rodeos and have a sudden lack of tableware. ... continue reading
Beer is like the Pavlovian trigger-word for most men. We love the stuff--truly, madly, deeply--but many of us don't know much about the object of our affection. There are many kinds of beers made many different ways with many different ingredients, and in order to be a better drinker lover, we must educate ourselves. ... continue reading

Somehow, it's been ten years already since Threadless emerged onto the scene. We're not sure how this happened, as a few weeks ago it seemed Facebook was still reserved for .edu addresses and Altavista was still... well, around.

Tell us if this rings a bell. You mosey on down to the grocers. You see that they've got ribeyes on sale. Tremendous.

We know, we thought the same thing too. At first glance, this is obviously one of those cases assassins flip open on a roof, pull out the parts to a high-tech rifle, assemble it, and take aim at some sap who pissed off the wrong peeps. But you'd be wrong, because LAT56's RAT-PAK Garment Bag actually holds... and this ... continue reading
Say what you will about the cult of Apple, but one can't deny they don't make some damn fine pieces of technology.

Brighter brights, ... continue reading
We think that if you own an expensive and relatively fragile piece of technology such as an iPhone, you ought to do it the honor of protecting it.

There are two certainties in life--age brings wisdom, and we all get old. When we do, we end up sitting on barstools sharing dirty stories from our glory days our wisdom with other old folks over cocktails like Satan's Whiskers, the Singapore Sling, and the Rusty Nail. The bad news is, shortly after all this, we die. ... continue reading

Back in the day when one dialed a number on a phone with an actual rotating dial, beer cans and soda pop opened by way of nifty little pull tabs.
