Not many people know this about us, but we grew up playing Soccer. We know better than to call it that now, but we're American. Back then, there was only soccer. Pelé has been a hero of ours since before we really got into Michael Jordan. Thanks to the people at Umbra, we finally have a proper display case for all ... continue reading
The Quad watch from Nixon isn't new. The slim profile, minimalist military watch was available before in a variety of band and face colors and styles. What wasn't available before now was the black face with yellow hand accents and, most importantly, nylon woodland camo strap. Like most other Nixon products, The Quad ... continue reading

Contrary to what you might think, Clarks makes shoes other than the go-to pair of desert boots that just about every one of you reading this has in the closet. This new pair of Theron Nature Shoes feels decidedly New Balance to us, but it's got a lot more going for it other than sneaker sensibility. It's actually a ... continue reading
Jack Spade is a brand that most of you reading this are already familiar with. You might have a wallet made out of cork or decorated like postcards, a camo iPhone hard case or one of those sweet sets of "Nice Parking" cards sitting on your dresser right now, but that's not all that's going to be there for long because ... continue reading
Taylor Stitch already does fantastic shirts, phenomenal suiting and the perfect tee. Now they're branching out to do some pants in 10oz washed cotton duck canvas. What the hell is cotton duck canvas you ask? Sometimes it's also called duck cloth. According to the Internet, it was also originally one of the components ... continue reading
Collaborations can go one of two ways, either ridiculously awesome (see: Carroll Shelby & the Mustang) or painfully terrible (see: Metallica and Lou Reed). The teaming up of adidas Originals and Kazuki Kuraishi is one of the former. The Retrograde Resistance Lab-84 Collection features some sweet new adidas kicks ... continue reading

Los Angeles based Refined Hardware has set out to make beautiful and unique watches that will get noticed for their design, craftsmanship, and luxurious appeal.

You shouldn't play around with weapons. That's obvious. At no time, however, is this tougher to follow than when you have a butterfly knife in front of you (okay, being presented with a pair of nunchucks is up there as well). For the addictive joy of flipping one open - without the bodily harm - consider a pair of ... continue reading
Giving back to a seriously worthy charity while at the same time getting something sweet in return is a win-win. Minuteman Watches are crafted right in the good ole US of A, and a portion of the sales will go to benefit disabled vets (as in veterans, not the people who treat your sick dog, though they deserve recognition ... continue reading
There are a lot of important problems in the world that need solving. Waking up every morning and having to tie your shoes before you leave for the day is probably not one of them... but it's still a giant pain in the ass. If you think about it, it takes about 30 seconds every day to tie your shoes. That doesn't seem ... continue reading
Thirty years later (wow we feel old), there are quite a few things we look back on fondly from the 80s. Hair metal, Alf, Transformers, Pizzarias, Ecto Cooler and a ridiculous collection of toys are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to cool shit from the 80s. Also: Converse. The Well Worn Collection is a new ... continue reading
The idea of taking a vintage watch and putting a shiny new strap on it is nothing new. Throne Watches is going about the whole thing in a slightly different way, though. You won't find any watches badged Rolex, or Omega, or IWC, or Panerai. What you will find is a few numbers from Casio, some unpronounceable foreign ... continue reading
The belt buckle is an invention that's old as time itself. That's not entirely true, but according to Wikipedia they go back to at least the Iron Age. They're old. They also work quite well in their current format, so why bother changing anything? Because they're big, bulky and quite boring. Artist Chris Nealon had ... continue reading
Even though you can't use it to pay for drinks or peanuts on an airplane, cash is king. There's nothing worse than drunkenly getting into cab with your home address written on your hand and trying to pay for the trip home with a credit card. If the cabbie is even willing to take plastic, something's going to get screwed ... continue reading
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then Form Function Form has some serious admirers because a certain Kickstarter project ripped off their Button-Stud Weekender design wholesale. Rather than supporting an obvious charlatan (we've always wanted to have a reason to use that in a sentence), buy the original ... continue reading
