Using a classic Zippo lighter will always be a sophisticated and stylish choice. With anything so iconic, however, there is little in the way of personality when you opt to join the clan of users. So we figured, “Why not offer a sense of ownership on... continue...
When it comes to grilling, we try to be purists. We’re guilty of the occasional gas cook out of sheer convenience, but we always feel bad about it when we take the first bite out of whatever meaty concoction we just charred. Charcoal with a chimney... continue...
We’re not going to list you by name, but there are some of you reading this who don’t like whiskey. You may have tried to enjoy the slow burn of some Dewar’s after watching Don Draper knock back a few in a meeting, but the resulting... continue...

There’s a rule somewhere that states that whisky has to taste like poison. Don’t get us wrong, we still love it. In the grand scheme of things though, it’s only really or step removed from lighter fluid in terms of potency, taste and... continue...

Somewhere between kayaking and surfing exists a whole new pseudo sport known as stand up paddleboarding. While it will certainly end up in the Olympics with bags (cornhole for the purists) by the year 2020, for now it seems like more an aquatic activity.... continue...
If you’re going to make fun of Detroit, stick to jokes about the Lions. We wouldn’t recommend going beyond that, because you don’t to piss off anyone from the Motor City. However, Detroit-based Simplified Clothing can make light of the... continue...
