RVCA have made a piece of outerwear that's basically the bastard child between a down vest and a hoodie zip-up. We think they've pulled it off. A decidedly different approach to the fleece, it combines these two classic warm garments into a jacket that stands out from the crowd. And while vests have never fully recovered ... continue reading

We're guessing you haven't gone out and successfully killed a large quadruped like a moose or a antelope.

But back to these Horns and Antlers: ... continue reading
Lum-Tec Combat B4 may sound like a fictional gun from a James Cameron movie but it's a watch. Before you're disappointed, have a look--all their watches feature a luminescence technology that blows Indiglo out of the water.

It's a shark-shaped personal watercraft thingy that can do 50 mph above water and then dive down like a damn submarine and do 25 mph under the water. If your mind is not completely blown right now with childlike glee, something is wrong with you. Or maybe you're dead. Or a robot. Either way, the Seabreacher X does ... continue reading
Disregard Abercrombie's um, questionable retail aesthetic for a second, what with it's topless male ab monkeys brand reps, choking perfumed air and pumping David Guetta tracks. Fact of the matter is, some of their threads are pretty sweet. Take the Mount Marcy pants for instance. Lightweight khaki, drawstring waist, ... continue reading

And while they may look like the bastard offspring of a weekend duffel and a toiletry bag, they ... continue reading
Sure those DoDo iPad cases are the hottest thing on the market right now, like some kind of Tickle Me Elmo for adults. But frankly, we prefer a handmade leather case like these from Etsy seller Julie Boyles.

Imagine that you're in a life-or death situation against the clock where you need to unscrew something, cut something, saw something, unscrew something else, repair a set of eyeglasses, and open a bottle of beer.

Even though the iPad is little more than the result of an iPod Touch getting a Macbook really drunk and convincing it to come back to it's dorm room, it's a device that deserves a bit more than just a simple protective case. Boog's Boa Push bag qualifies as a bit more: made of soft Twylon and Nappa leather, it's a ... continue reading
Etsy user LowLevel has made an awesome set of colorful stenciled paintings, each one featuring a historical icon: Fidel Castro, Jack Kerouac, Frank Sinatra, Hunter S.

If you're a surfer, you likely ride on a polyurethane or polystyrene core board. It'll come as no surprise that these boards break. When they do, that polyurethane or polystyrene core ends up in a landfill (a board in two pieces isn't exactly useful in the water), and thus begins it's biodegrading. Except that doesn't ... continue reading
Back when cameras took pictures on this weird ribbony stuff called film, taking good photos took practice and talent. But as the digital cameras have come of age and their prices fallen from levels requiring the sale of an organ to something more accessible, taking great photos has become easier than ever.
