The Fixation | Rogue Territory Custom Jeans

This week’s fixation is a pair of custom jeans from LA-based Rogue Territory. You see, I am afflicted with serious Thunder Thighs (from the days of college sports) and a penchant for dry denim. That’s a combination that leads to reduced blood flow in my lower body as I break in jeans and the potential [...]

3Sixteen Shawl Collar Sweater

Not Your Grandma's Shawl

Owning a couple of quality sweaters is a must to round out your winter wardrobe. If you’re looking for a new addition to the rotation we’d direct your attention to 3Sixteen‘s new Shawl Collar. Traditionally styled for the outdoorsman or fisherman looking to keep their neck warm, the shawl collar has moved into the mainstream [...]

Petzl Tikka Plus 2 Headlamp

Your Head As A Beacon

Head lamps have come a long way since we were on our last scouting trip. No longer do you need to have a glorified Mag Lite strapped to your head, bobbing around and weighing your head down. Petzl’s new Tikka Plus 2 has opened our eyes and become quite a convenient piece of gear to [...]

Mad Catz Rock Band Fender Stratocaster

The Real (Virtual) Axe

Rock Band and its main rival Guitar Hero are sort of a big deal, if you hadn’t heard already. For the most competitive faux rockers, the Mad Catz Fender Stratocaster is the ultimate Rock Band controller. Based on a legit Fender Strat body, it’s gotten the Dr. Frankenstein treatment, being reborn as the clear superior [...]

Ironheart IH-634s Selvage Jeans

Don't Judge A Jean By Its Selvage

“These are the toughest, strongest, most stubborn jeans in the world, no argument.” That description on Ironheart’s website intrigued us, to say the least. Bold statements beg to be tested, and test this claim we have. The Ironheart IH-634s jeans are defined by the 21 ounce selvage denim from which they’re constructed. For those of [...]

Timekeeping: Linde Werdelin SpidoLite SA

Feature

Mechanical Meets Modern

If Bruce Wayne or his nocturnal counterpart, the Dark Knight, selected a watch he’d feel comfortable wearing with either ego, we’ve got a good notion it would be the Linde Werdelin SpidoLite SA. The SpidoLite SA is one of those rare combinations of proper classic mechanical watchmaking and modern technology. Since the droolfest, known as [...]

When inclement weather comes a calling though, it’s a challenge to keep yourself dry, even more so your beloved gear. The SealLine Urban Backpack is made to solve that very problem. As one of the world’s leading water resistant bag [...]

L.L. Bean Boots | Gum Shoes

Designation: CWS (Crappy Weather Shoe)

The weather is turning quickly here in the Northeast. It’s starting to rain more; it’s colder. It’s only a matter of time before winter arrives. As this happens, the boat shoes and sandals we’ve been rocking all summer will no longer cut it. During last few rain storms here, we’ve been demoing L.L. Bean’s Gum [...]
