The Godfather: Family Album

The Godfather films were pretty phenomenal movies. They're the kind of movies guys, when drunk, will quote repeatedly (a true hallmark of a great film). And while your Brando accent will always sound like you have a cleft palette and a bad cold, you can at least know the Godfather…

Vans Versa Sneakers

Lying to our parents about prom night taught us one thing: keep it simple. Vans' Versa sneakers apply the same mentality... Simple but attractive, slim profile, easily dressed up and down. Much like our prom date. BadumPSH.

Moshi Moshi 04i

While cell phones have brought us mobility and sexting, we do long for the days when we could hold a proper handset up to our heads. Moshi Moshi apparently feels similar, as they've designed a ninja boomerang, er, iPhone dock and handest that connects to your device(s) via Bluetooth. It…

Caddyshack on Blu-Ray

There was this one time here at Cool Material where a product blew our minds so badly we sat there in front of the computer and just typed a big paragraph about how our brains 'sploded from awesome exposure and it was just sort of one big run-on sentence and…

Traveling Denim video

A favorite pair of jeans is something every guy has; they fit perfectly, and there comes a point where we can't remember them any way but tattered, soft, and full of holes. Well, some guy with a camera followed some girl--specifically her ass--as she wore a new pair of jeans…

Ravi Ratan USB Cufflinks

Every man in the history of time has, at one point, wanted to be James Bond. Even before Ian Fleming actually invented his character, like hundreds of years ago in the Victorian age, guys stole his lines: "Good day, sirs. I be-eth Dodenbury. James... Dodenbury, forsooth.". Long story short, none…

Aruliden “Wire” Hanger

The design company Aruliden, which apparently pulled it's name from Lord of the Rings, has come up with a cool solution to the traditional coat rack. Simple and modern, the rack gives you ample space to store your coat, hat, one ring to rule them all, etc. Sorry, we seriously…

Nike Navaro Low Sneaker

Check out Nike's Navaro Low Sneakers. How ill are they?! Super ill. Not ill like they're diseased of course, or like they have shoe-AIDS, whatever that is. We mean ill in the whole urban slang definition of "appealing" or "deserving praise for aesthetic excellence". Saying it like that though makes…

Lindland’s Cordaround Karate Casual Pants

Every man has a certain pair of pants: the ones we change into after a long day, or on Sunday morning after last night's clothes became de facto pajamas. Routinely left on the bedroom floor, rarely washed, and likely dotted with the faded stains of snack foods, they're the most…

Michelangelo Two Bike Gravity Stand

There are a few universal facts we all know:  the sun rises in the east, things fall towards the center of the earth, Indiana Jones 4 was the cinematic equivalent of being beaten with a chain, etcetera etcetera.  Also on that list is the fact that bicycles are the most awkward…

The Sneaker Coloring Book

Right.  It's a coloring book.  We know.   And yes, the last time you laid hands on one of these, you probably had snot on your face and Velcro for laces.  However, The Sneaker Coloring Book is just that: a book you can use to come up with custom designs…

The Munkey

While watching movies on your iPhone isn't ideal, sometimes the situation demands it: in planes, trains, automobiles, etc.  Allusions to John Candy (RIP) movies aside, it can be a pain to hold the thing at the right angle and in a comfortable position.  The Munkey is a simple device that…

Tretorn Krona Mid Suede Shoe

Before he was abducted by aliens/was an alien/left the building, Elvis sang about suede shoes: blue ones, specifically.  Tretorn's understated Krona Mid Suede Shoes aren't quite as ripe for songwriting as blue ones, but we still think they're pretty great.   Their simple style can be dressed up or down,…

Jehs and Laub Lounge Chair

Owning a good leather lounge chair should be on the bucket list of every man, somewhere between having a one night stand and getting arrested. Jehs and Laub's leather lounge chair is our pick: with a design that brings good modern design to a genre dominated by the amorphously unattractive…
