On Shelves


Seeing as we're going to try and build these this weekend (hopefully with Dexter's intervention), I was doing more research and found this great blog that just features bookcases.










Books At Home.

Randy Polumbo and His Homestead

CoSTUME NATIONAL Top to Bottom




Figured you'd be all about this look, aside from the fact that each piece will set you back about six bills. CoSTUME NATIONAL.

Laguiole Straight Razors





I wish I had the guts, knowhow and sheer coolness to work one of these bad boys. I think that chart would be more a detailed illustration of where I would be cutting flaps of skin from my face. At any rate, fun to think about. Laguiole Straight Razor.

Bird Feeder Challenge





This one is kind of like the mailbox challenge, we can find something better than this or make something for less right? Ready, GO! Above from DWR, All Modern & Velocity.

Outlier - NYC





This is secretly a post about wool. But don't think of it that way, just as cool cycling gear from a company in NYC. Plus, it's interesting, they had an idea about clothing they wanted to make and they've started making it - in very small quantities (that seem to sell out quickly). Sounds like a kinda familiar roadmap. The hoody & T are, of course, wool. The pants on the other hand are made out of that crazy hi-tech fabric (scroll down) that's designed to repel dirt & water based on the lotus plant. It's kind of like reverse velcro. Nifty. Could they really be everyday pants though?

More Wool



This time from Devold. Maybe you'll like the styling on this better than Icebreaker. Nah, probably not. But, a shout out to my Norwegian heritage.

Also a gray longsleeve baselayer from Ibex. Not terrible. And yes, I realize summer is coming...

Crew for Spring and Summer





All available now at the J.Crew Outlet just for you. Cotton Cording Club Short, Gingham Shirt, Classic Fit Lightweight Khakis, and the never have too many of Broken in Tee.

Arrow Moccasins






I think I need to get a pair of these while they are still affordable. I missed the Quoddy boat about 4 years ago and now those are just not in the range. I guess we can always hope that this newfound hipster love of the handmade will be an enduring trend. Hmm, hipster, enduring, trend. Yeah might as well give up now. Arrow Moccasins pics via Hypebeast.
