Pendleton and Nike Team Up To Create The Big Jim Jacket

Pendleton and Nike Team Up To Create The Big Jim Jacket

I absolutely love this winter jacket. Made using dense Pendleton virgin wool, the material blocks icy chills while its “deconstructed” style means it layers well and is still lightweight enough for running around the city. The piece is a part of the “Triple Black” collaboration between Pendleton and Nike’s outdoor division ACG. The jacket has...
How To Remove Salt Stains From Your Shoes

How To Remove Salt Stains From Your Shoes

If it wasn’t for sidewalk salt in the winter we would all be slipping and sliding all over the place, however, it can make a huge mess of your shoes. Leaving those awful, highly visible, white stains behind, not to mention permanent damage to the leather. In the last few weeks I have heard a...
The Nooka Zub Ziric

The Nooka Zub Ziric

I recently came across the Nooka Zub Ziric and loved the way it brings functionality and design together. Reading like an analog watch, the 12 dots represent hours while the horizontal row counts minutes, with a small window counting up the seconds. The watch is set in a polyurethane band and features an alarm mode...

Thule Crossover Collection – Luggage For The Sports Enthusiast

The snowboarding season has just kicked off, and last week I was lucky enough to go on a last minute snowboarding trip to Switzerland. Before I left the nice people over at Thule, sent me the 56 Liter Rolling Duffel to test out. The bag is part of the Thule Crossover Collection,  which has been...

Grenson Collaborates With Aubin & Wills On New Boot

I have written about Grenson shoes on Brandish a number of times now, but there is a reason for that. The traditional shoemakers have been making classic men’s shoes for over 120 years and are known for their philosophy of ‘Quality first.’ Their classic shoes are one of the great modern wardrobe staples for any...

Yesterday Pete Doherty launched his jewelry for Joseph. The Babyshambles frontman teamed-up with jeweler Hannah Martin to create a collection which includes cuff links, pendants, rings and necklaces – called Albion Trinketry. According to Doherty, the line was inspired by a time when men carried pocket watches and wore their best clothes on Sundays. The...
Flannel Shirt Cuff Links From Tatty Devine

Flannel Shirt Cuff Links From Tatty Devine

We love these tiny flannel shirt cuff links from Tatty Devine. The simple design would add a casual edge to any cuffed shirt. The classic lumberjack check is etched into white acrylic, then inked by hand, allowing them to include a great deal of detail such as the pocket with angled checks, collar, cuffs and...
Security Tag Accessories

Security Tag Accessories

Accessories can be a great way to dress up an outfit, simple cuff links, a pocket square, scarf, the list goes on. However, this is one accessory I am not sure I would purchase any time soon. The pin is made from 18k-gold-plated sterling silver and is meant to look like the security tags stores...
