Lite & Load
The most important piece of grilling gear after a grill and good meat is a chimney starter. Consider it less of an accessory and more of an essential, because you’ve got better things to do with your Saturdays than watching pyroclastics. The Weber Rapidfire Chimney Starter ($15) gets enough bulk briquettes or lump charcoal (try [...]
Type & Touch
HP was one of the first PC manufacturers to embrace touch interaction through their Touch Smart All-In-One desktops, and today they showed a further desire to integrate it in notebooks as well. Revamped with a new etched metal casing option similar to the HP Envy, the dv6 is clearly meant to serve as multimedia machine. [...]
Grooming Fodder For L.A.'s Renaissance
Men’s grooming brand, Baxter of California, has made thigns personal: they’re taking products beyond the shelves and into barbers at the newly opened Baxter Finley, Barber & Shop. Located in Log Angeles’ West Hollywood and helmed by Jason Simao (lead barber and manger), the menu at Baxter Finley will be simple: basic cuts and shaves, [...]
Measure Everything
Every man who has ever done handy work knows the value of a solid tape measure. In the age of integration though, Generation Tools decided to question why these useful belt companions couldn’t do more. The result is the SquareONE measuring system line ($14-7). It’s called a system because unlike dedicated tapes, this über tool [...]
Blades of Legend
To be honest, even though most of us here at Gear Patrol are lifelong golfers, none of us was aware of the sought-after clubmaker Miura. So, when given the opportunity to try out one of the companies wedges, we were obviously keen to swing away. It didn’t take long for us to be so impressed [...]
Back in Black
Who doesn’t have a soft-spot for the Wii, or Nintendo for that matter? The fact that there are few impromptu party formulas better than Booze+Women+Wii (in that order) is likely to blame. Then again, we know you’ve always secretly wanted a Wii in black, especially one to better match your classic controller or better integrate [...]
And You Thought Your Brood Was Nuts
In a similar move to Shit My Dad Says, the viral internet meme Awkwardfamilyphotos.com has now released a book. Featuring never-before-seen photos, and hilarious stories on just about every uncomfortable family situation you can imagine, it’s a great benchmark to judge your own family by. It also makes Clark Griswald’s life seem amateur. Considering Mother’s [...]
Royal Name, Vassal Price
Looking for a comfortable but stylish alternative to Converse or Vans sneakers? Take a gander at the Clae Ellington ($95). Made from either canvas or leather, both materials enhance the shoe’s silhouette in different ways (styles and colorways after the jump) The leather is distinctly more modern, like the Generic Surplus Chukkas we featured a [...]
Sometimes Brute Force Is Necessary
If your Jeep Wrangler just isn’t unique enough for your tastes (or needs), then the AEV Brute Jeep pickup conversion ($8,995) should fit the bill. The kit, which comes 90% assembled takes about 60 hours to implement on any Jeep TJ or quicker with a mechanically inclined buddy. The Brute Kit (great name) includes mid-frame [...]
A Striking Balance of Size, Design, and Craftsmanship
Standing somewhere between a typical billfold and more pocket friendly money clips, the Güs Horizontal Wallet ($165) is designed for guys to carry everything they need without the infamous Costanza bulge. Distinguished from the thousands of other wallets thanks to its ultra clean looks, the standard horizontal wallet measures just 1/4″ inches thick, while still [...]
Yes, That Abercrombie
Not all has gone the way of the trendy at Abercrombie & Fitch. Goods worthy of your money do exist, like the South Notch plaid shirt, a 100% soft sueded cotton classic plaid with button down collar (as a good classic plaid should), chest pocket, and Abercrombie’s vintage wash. A wash that’s frankly more perfectly [...]
