Wool is a marvelous material for any hardman of the outdoors. With the ability to keep you warm even when wet (remember, cotton kills!) the Sports Science pull over incorporates wool woven into polyester. This feature gives you superb insulation while increasing wicking power (something wool doesn’t excel at). This is like animal/machine meets clothing! Great as a comfortable shirt over bare skin or as an insulating layer beneath a shell the Sports Science pullover is a versatile and effective garment.

Need a gift for your old lady’s birthday? Check out this hair dryer from Bathroom Graffiti. A powerful 1000 watt blow gun with on off switch by pulling the trigger. If I had long enough hair to blow dry I would think about getting this for myself. With the typical three modes of operation (hot, warm, and cool) your chick will look like Calamity Jane in the bathroom.

This gadget keeps your pant bottoms from getting scuffed, frayed, wet, or salty by dragging on the ground. Generally I like to keep my pants well fitted and out of the muck but if you like to rock some fly baggie jeans or whip the glow sticks around with triple sized pant legs at your local rave you can at least save some tripping from cramping your style. The Trip Clip operates by simply stepping into the loop and clipping it to the pant to keep the rear part from getting caught under your heal and dragged on the pavement (mud if you live in the boonies).

You may be wondering about the name of this time piece: Cartridge. Not only is this a great factoid about this watch but a nice lead in for sparking some conversation with the cuties at the bar…if they are into guns. The Cartridge draws inspiration from the Liberator Pistol made in the good old USA to arm resistance forces around the world circa WWII. I’m thinking CIA, jungle warfare, and hot Russian spy women knocking on your bungalow door. At any rate this has Swiss engineering and Italian leather to top of the nuts and bolts of the design. Personally I find this watch tasteful, stylish, with a little panache.

They’re back…

To commemorate the 30 year anniversary of the iconic game Space Invaders the original programmer, Taito, teamed up with 55DSL to create a modern remix of the game, Space Invaders World War, and a limited edition t-shirt.  Apparently the world has been swallowed in darkness (I just thought it was April showers) and we have to blow away some Space Invaders to get back our captured light.  The game is free on the web but the t-shirts are available for a limited time only at selected Diesel Stores.  The NY store will only have them available from 7-9 pm on April 30th, so get there early!

Play the game…

Laser, skulls, fire, death, hell, billfolds!! All comes with the territory when we’re talkin’ Zeyner Motoring Collection. The Pyromaniac Bifold is the man’s man wallet despite its silk lining. Laser engraved, contrasting red stitch design, and white copper skull accent piece fill out this money mashing slab of animal hide. Zeyner brings some other bad ass products to the table with names like Scarface and Studmax. Need a larger carrying case? Check out their Bullfight briefcase. Let those pansies in the office know you mean business!

When I saw this it was love at first sight! This is a perfect piece of apparel for that little league game, friendly company softball, or some pick-up b-ball down at the park. From Jeepney we get all sorts of urban gems that can appeal to anyone with wit, rage, street fighting skills, a killer jump shot, or just some extra bucks. However, there is something special about Your Crew Blows. Maybe it’s the wholesome play on the D.A.R.E logo or the alluring model shown above. At any rate I’m sure we can all find a place for this in our wardrobe.

The Colston from 100 Styles and Running are droppin’ some hot flavor on your feet. With full grain leather, two tone black and white with red interior the Colston sounds more like a sports car than a loafer. Whether you’re crusin’ the strip for some fly little honey dip or low kickin’ some Cambodian rascal in Chinartown for cheating you on your wontons the Colstons got you covered. On the street you have to look confident, capable, and bad ass all in one pass. So if you don’t want to look like a total wussy man check into a pair of Colstons.

Banks in supermarkets… cameras, GPS, mp3 players in your phone…a treadmill and a desk?  We love jamming several useful objects into one even more useful object, and vigilantes like to stay dry so, BAM! we have the Umbuster.  As designer Sruli Recht explains:

The Umbuster has been classified a Class 5 weapon by good and upright men and women of the Victorian Police.  To have and to hold this accessory requires a weapons licence and, or gun licence.

Personally I’d like to see a third product synergizing this compilation.  Maybe a PEZ dispenser, or better yet a flask.  Get drunk, stay dry and deliver some serious beat downs, only when necessary of course.

You probably shouldn’t chew on this one, or let someone barrow it, or clean your fingernails, or much else besides cut enormous checks and write best selling classics. The Mont Blanc William Faulkner edition fountain pen pays tribute to a great American writer. With its impeccable platinum and mother of pearl features and black/brown finish the Mont Blanc is at the zenith of writing utensils.  At first blush this weighty writing wand commands respect and attention.
