Harley Davidson | Raising New York
Out and about on 19th Street in Chelsea NYC last week, I came upon this serious piece of heavy metal that demanded my attention. I immediately thought of Raising Arizona’s “Biker of the Apocalypse”. The matte finish paint (or is that just exhaust buildup?), sawed off pipes and sprayed shearling seat cover are definitely not [...]
Duluth Trading Co. | Workwear For Working
Looking around for an authentic coal bag lead me to the Duluth Trading Co., the one-stop shop for everything workwear related. I needed a coal bag that was actually made for lugging around heavy stuff- tools, chains and such. A bag that would do the job and one that I wouldn’t care about getting a [...]
Photoshop Goodness | Textures Along The Way
Its amazing what you find when you’re not looking where you’re going. Looking up, down, around, under, and to the sides makes walking difficult, but there is just a never-ending assortment of “things” worth seeing.
Myers of Keswick | British Goods
One of my favorite spots in NYC to pick up some tasty treasures is Myers of Keswick, on Hudson St. at Horatio. A great little neighborhood to stroll on a sunny day as well. Myers is essentially a traditional mom & pop market, but with a small difference. Everything in Myers is either made in [...]
The Harbor Yard | Fall Is Coming
Fall at the water’s edge is a favorite time and place of mine. The Fall sky casts an entirely different light on the water and on everything that has slowed down around it. Actually, a perfect time for some fishing- and the reason for heading over to Southport, Connecticut’s harbor yard last weekend. The sign [...]
The Blazer Pub | The Real Deal
I am forever on the lookout for “the real deal”. No homogenized franchised experience, no wolf in sheep’s clothing, the real deal. “Real deals” do not copy and they do not need to compete. They deliver consistently because they do what they do best.
Pocket Watches | The Details
Rodania 17 Jewel Pocket Watch c. 1950′s I personally love the current wave of menswear. Real honest to goodness manly stuff- the clothes and all the extras that go along with being a guy. Tweeds and non-Satin Ties, Worn-in Boots and Belts, Bags and Hats (with brims), Waistcoats and Waxed Canvas Jackets, Beers and Bourbon [...]
Bryant Park | Branding of a Public Space
Bryant Park is right in the heart of New York City’s midtown and is visited every day of the week by many thousands of people looking for a little break from their office buildings or from the endless miles of pavement. It is a refuge in which a person can enjoy some peace and relative [...]
Bags | For The Smaller Things In Life
I’ve admitted being a bit obsessed with collecting bags- shoulder bags, backpacks, computer bags, duffle bags, they all catch my eye and seem to find a place in my revolving supply of “necessary” belongings.
Hang Tags | Collections
Hang Tags come in every shape and size imaginable. They are the elements of retail products that get little fanfare but are labored over by graphic artists with the hope of catching a customer’s attention, inform the customer of the amazing attributes of the garment, and generally create a little billboard for some brand recognition.
