Wooden Sleepers

Wooden Sleepers

I think etsy is amazing.

It’s like this huge attic, you take it for granted, then you check it out and are like “whoa…there’s some good stuff in here!”

The only bummer on etsy is there are no shops for men…there is now. A friend of mine just opened up wooden sleepers and well, its pretty awesome.

SWT Endorses: Cutler and Gross

SWT Endorses: Cutler and Gross

Yes for the past week or so I’ve been in London. The weather has been pretty nice for the most part and I’ve gotten a chance to visit some great shops and drink some good English ale.

One of the shops I went to was Cutler and Gross in Knightsbridge, wow was I impressed.

SWT Endorses : Birdwell Beach Britches

Yes sir, its about time to get in shape for swimsuit season. I went running and did about 3 miles, all with one goal, to look good in my Birdwell’s. The best swimsuits on earth and made in the USA.

Store Visit: R by 45rpm

The other day I made a stop by one of the most underrated shops in NYC…

R by 45rpm. Filled with sand gardens, zen fountains, old wooden floors and smelling of incense;  an amazing store where the majority of the items are handmade in Japan.

SWT Endorses: Rig Out – Issue 2

The other day I got a lovely package from Mr. James Wilson of secret forts. Yes, it was a copy of Rig Out. A lovely fanzine put together by Oi Polloi.

It features a great interview with Daiki Suzuki of Engineered Garments and some cool style shots.

Here are some scans for your viewing pleasure. 

A Visit With: Made With Rest

This evening I made a stop by Rest Store in the Lower East Side. Its rather easy to pass up, a large black door on the street with nothing but a buzzer on the outside.

No sign, just 223 on the door.

SWT Endorses: Travelteq

“Travelers for Travelers” is their tag. Not only is their product functional, understated, and sleek. Their site is probably one of the nicest sites I’ve been to in a long time.  (http://www.travelteq.com/)

Do You Wear Belts?

As I’ve been continuing to do my sit ups and pilates (Yes I do pilates) I’ve been on the look out for a belt.

I came across these belts from the GQ article and gave my buddy Pete (far left) a call at Sid Mashburn Turns out they are equestrian bridle leather belts from Tory Leather Co. made in Williamsport, PA. I couldn’t really find these belts anywhere other than their shop so after a bit of digging online I came across this site.

Not bad at all for around 25 bucks! I’m shopping smart!

Also, Sid Mashburn is quite the shop check it out if you’re in Atlanta.
