Look Good, Stay Dry(er)
GORE-TEX and its analogous water-proof brand-specific variants can be a life saver for camping or just getting to work in a down pour. The downside is that most jackets made using this material look better suited for Everest than the office. Trench coats have been a staple of men’s fashion for decades because they provide [...]
Tenacious G
Unlike adjustable grips and permanent studs, the Trex 6310 Ice Traction Device ($25) uses quick-replace steel studs, a quick-adjust elastic cord, and an aggressive tread pattern to keep your feet doing more planting and less sliding. An easy slide stretchable rubber design fits over any shoe or boot that retains its flexibility to -40°F. It [...]
Spin Class
Sure, Woolen Mills Company’s Belt & Pulley fans move air, but to us they’re a little more about mechanical boyhood fantasies. Not so much mass production as massively creative, proprietor Jay Mill’s timeless designs are only complemented by a sensitive fabrication process: antique designs are created in a small pattern making shop, an Amish foundry [...]
One-Man Beast of Burden
On my honeymoon to Australia last year, we packed four bags of luggage. One was so heavy, it might have as well been carrying an anvil, locked inside a portable safe, wrapped in an iron sarcophagus. Worse, we didn’t even use half the stuff we packed. No more, I declared. So, this year, the streamlined [...]
Because What's Inside Counts
With the surplus of “stuffy” card cases out there, we recently felt compelled to find alternatives that our readers who weren’t neck deep in the corporate world could get away with carrying. Like say for instance…if you wrote for a men’s product website. As a result, we came across these sneakily colorful Grand Prixe Card [...]
We Like the Way You Season
Instead of the customary salt & pepper, amp up your steaks, burgers, veggies, fish (my preferred protein of choice: salmon) with Susie Q’s Brand Red Label Santa Maria Valley Style Seasoning ($6). Comprised of a blend of salt, cracked black pepper, parsley, and garlic without any fake flavor enhancers like MSG, it amps up flavor [...]
Data Brutality Prevention
Not all USB drives are created equally. Most are relegated to being generic tsotchkes handed out at conventions, but on the other hand you have the LaCie XtremKey ($50+) which offers industrial-grade data protection. With a pipe-shaped casing constructed of Zamac (an alloy of zinc, aluminum, magnesium, and copper) that’s brawny enough to laugh at [...]
The World's Best Watch Company Isn't in Switzerland
While peering through a magnifying lens, counting 184 tiny faces carved on a cherry pit, I started to understand what sets the German watch company, A. Lange & Söhne, apart. I was in the “Green Vault” of the Residenzschloss in Dresden, the historic palace of Saxon royalty, where a staggering collection of opulent knick-knacks is [...]

So Wrong, So Funny
In Bruges ($19) is a dark comedy that’s steadily picked up a cult following since its 2008 release. The story follows the actions of two Irish gangster/hit men who’ve been ordered to lay low – you guessed it – in Bruges (broozh), after a hit gets a little too messy. Don’t know how to pronounce [...]
The Next Best Thing to An Open Flame
While the word grill typical inspires visions like this in our head, there’s something to be said for having an electric version on standby just in case. They’re also a great appliance for those short on space who want an alternative to broiling or pan frying. The Breville Smart Grill ($310) is a good option [...]
The Best of College Football (sans smuggling Bourbon in your pants)
Depending in part on how and where you spent your formative years, you should understand the following statement: nothing in the sporting world compares to the excitement of college football. Of course, you’re entitled to disagree or to blow your vuvuzela in protest, but you’d be just plain wrong. That’s why today we salute EA [...]
