Luggage powerhouse Tumi has revealed a new limited edition collaboration with the style-focused, globe-trotting team at Selectism.

Good Gets Better

Making the Best From a Bad Situation

The truth is, this special run is actually the result of disaster caused by record snowfall back in January [...]
Dr. Doom Approved
What’s the only thing cooler than a motorcycle that flies? Trick question, nothing is cooler than a flying motorcycle. Since it may be awhile before that’s a reality though, the Confederate P120 Fighter comes in at a very close second. Made by hand, and crafted almost entirely of air craft grade aluminum, the P120 takes [...]
Brand Spotlight is a series on Gear Patrol focused on highlighting unique and creative brands we feel should be on men’s radars. Most shoes are made like cars, meaning they are massed produced in an assembly line. There’s nothing necessarily wrong with the efficiencies gained from this approach for certain kinds of kicks, but it [...]
The Whip of Choice for Baller Sith Lords
The self-proclaimed auto industry-obsessed Autoblog has surfaced another ridiculous spectacle in the world of luxury sports cars. It’s distinguished from standard Aston Martin V12 Vantage sport coupes by its sinister black metallic finish, which apparently looks different depending on the viewing angle and requires over 50 man hours to apply. The inside naturally also received [...]
Gap’s limited edition European Collection is back with some new choices. The designs conceived in, well, Europe, are crisp and clean with a touch of European style.

Slotted somewhere right in between badass and beast resides the SCORE BAJA 1000 Limited Edition Icon. It’s based off of the unique Icon, which itself is based off the original Toyota Land Cruiser design.

[click on image to enlarge] I read magazines back to front. It’s a peculiar quirk of mine and there is no explanation. Sometimes it yields surprises – like the arrival of this month’s issue of Men’s Vogue. When I opened the back cover I was greeted with a fold out of the Massimo Vignelli designed [...]
[click on image to enlarge] The De Grisogono Meccanico DG is an innovative new watch and despite of its digital looks, it’s entirely mechanical.

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2 – the sequel to the award-winning next-generation first-person shooter – is back. As the title reveals, you’re back in Sin City taking on an escalating terrorist siege that will mire you in absolute balls-to-the-wall action throughout Las Vegas landmarks. Two new adversarial modes have been added, 11 new multiplayer [...]
[click on image to enlarge] The Porsche Boxster RS 60 Spyder is a tribute to the Porsche 718 RS 60 Spyder that won Sebring 48 years ago. And though it is a limited edition Porsche with only 1960 vehicles being produced it’s probably more likely that your dollars will get you one of these than [...]
Gears of War was reason enough to own an Xbox 360. The announced Gears of War 2 is more along the lines of a requirement. The epic saga continues with Marcus Fenix and the Delta Squad mired in an even more impossibly outrageous situation against the Locust Horde. Sure, it’s all for the survival of [...]
