At this point, it's safe to say if we had a single ounce of CAD in our design wheelhouse we would dedicate ourselves to creating pens solely for Kickstarter campaigns. Unfortunately, we don't (yet), so we're going to stick to all of the other Kickstarter pen campaigns out there in the meantime. Like, for instance, ... continue reading
Bullets are the manly equivalent of the bird. As in, put a bullet on it. Immediately cool. Better yet, put a bunch of bullets on it. Short of firing it out of a weapon, there aren’t too many other ways you could possibly have gun related paraphernalia on this pen. Bolt action to release and retract and the pen. Rifle ... continue reading
Even if your next trip isn't behind the wheel of a tractor-trailer, this Compact Inner Tube Toiletry Bag is a pretty sweet way to bring your bathroom essentials along for your travels. Crafted from upcycled truck inner tubes, this compact dopp kit even comes with a zipper pull made from an old tube valve. It's water-resistant ... continue reading
It should come as no surprise to any of you that we have addictions when it comes to cool products. Right now, we’re hopelessly addicted to buying pens on Kickstarter. Aluminum, titanium, steel, stylus, ballpoint, it doesn’t matter. If it’s a pen and it’s on Kickstarter, we want it. There does seem to be one ... continue reading
Most of the pens you own you didn't purchase. They appeared in your home or your bag through some sort of weird pen osmosis. They are fine for scribbling "To Do" lists around the house, but for your office, you're going to want something nicer than a Bic with a bank name on it. The EiMIM Pen has boss written all over ... continue reading
When the adage "The pen is mightier than the sword" was first coined, it is safe to say the Bolt Action Tactical Pen was not in existence. If it had been, the phrase would've needed a small disclaimer. Basically, the Bolt Action Tactical Pen is what you'd get if said pen and said sword got it on and had a small child. ... continue reading
Some of the greatest creative minds in the world can credit some of their success to a little inhaled inspiration—including Stephen King, Tarantino, and pretty much every musician ever. It’s pretty well known that there’s a link between creativity and cannabis, but unfortunately the same can be said about short ... continue reading
The word "linen" doesn't exactly ooze masculinity. In fact, it makes us think of lace bedspreads and light blue Yankee Candles, neither of which we would like to spend any time or brain power on contemplating. While linen isn't exactly a prominent textile in the goods we normally seek out, these notebooks from Tanner ... continue reading
Shepard Fairey (aka the man behind OBEY, the OBEY Giant and the Obama HOPE posters...but you probably knew that already) wants to get some more OBEY gear into your pockets. The latest entry in the long list of things that he's responsible for is this Lotus Diamond Pocket Notebook. The notebook is the standard size ... continue reading
There’s something about skulls that makes them inherently cool—regardless of their purpose. If drinking out of them, storing things in them and having them on your walls aren’t enough, now you can write with one too with this Skull Graphite Pencil. Made of pure graphite, and coated with a polymer to prevent staining ... continue reading
If anyone was going to redesign the way we think about writing instruments, it was going to be the Germans. Pencils don't need to be a simple tube of wood filled with "lead" and capped with an ugly pink eraser that will just inevitably break off. Based on what Gerhard Wörther came up with, pencils can actually be ... continue reading
Art is fun to look at, but interacting with it is generally frowned upon. Not only do these graphite sculptures look good, they’re also writing utensils. Since they’re made of graphite and coated in a special polymer, they won’t stain your hands as you pencil in dates, write your magnum opus or create your DaVinci. ... continue reading
Try as we might, we've never been able to go completely paperless. No amount of "notebook" apps will ever replace the strange sense of accomplishment we get from actually writing something down in a notebook with a pen or pencil. It's a chance to use all those writing skills you used in grade school and something you ... continue reading
There are few male accessories that add such a quick touch of class as the pocket square. One minute you're just another dude in a suit and the next you're being asked for champagne recommendations, smoking Cubans you didn't even buy and hanging with the social elite (aka - super models). We're also quite aware that ... continue reading
Do you go through notebooks like you go through beer? Do you have a to-do list that never seems to end and an ever growing list of things you really don’t want to forget? It took us a while, but we finally realized we needed a pen as cool and convenient as the notebook we carry around all the time. Something that ... continue reading
You've probably even surprised yourself with how much you use your iPad for. At first you thought, "I'll play a few games, use it a bit for work, maybe watch a movie or two on it," and then a month later, you're sitting on the couch having gone a day without eating because you can't put the damn thing down. For all ... continue reading
