adidas Samba Casual
Wednesday, 25. August 2010This example of the iconic adidas Samba drew a lot of attention from the blogosphere lately. And with it's fine indigo upper, the leather accents and the clear sole this one is among the strongest colorways that has ever been put on a Samba. A must-have shoe in my book. ...

Norse Projects – Hunter Earflap Cap
Monday, 23. August 2010With autumn just around the corner there is a growing need for some adequate headgear. As I cannot wear hats without looking totally whack I have to stick to caps.

Hori Hori Knife
Friday, 16. July 2010As I was saying earlier this week, as much as a bottle opener is a pre-requisite accessory, so should a good knife be. No apparent reason, and yes, air travel will be a bit difficult, but on that point, I am all for road trips anyway - before you know ...
Stainless Steel Bottle Opener
Wednesday, 14. July 2010Last week made me realize how out of touch with real life I can be - back in the pre-comuputer days I had a bottle opener with me at all times. You never know when you need to crack open a cold one and doing so with your lighter/teeth is ...
