Start With Typewriters

One of the many reasons I love New York is how many talented people are around, it’s both mind blowing and intimidating at the same time.

Recently, my friend Noah (whom many of you have been listening to lately ) introduced me to Julia Pott.

I am now mildly obsessed…

For the past 6 months, I’ve been wearing my Seiko Diver and really fallen in love with it.

I’ve never been one of those guys who saves up and spends 8k on a watch (though maybe someday? doubtful). I do dream to own a Rolex submariner but right now, this is the next best thing.

It’s automatic- I mean the dang thing winds itself by me moving around and waving my arms frantically (happens quite often). I don’t know why I’m strangely comforted by this but, I suppose it’s just one extra thing I don’t have to depend on a battery for (iPhone, Laptop, Camera).

It’s waterproof- Heck yes it is, I hate never having to worry about whether or…

How amazing Rest Store is…

Rest Store is one of the few Kings of Collabos, from Mark McNairy and Post O’Alls, to Sunspel (UK).

These are some quality hand made moccasins at about less than half the cost of Quoddy!

Wow, Steven from Leffot continues to remind folks why he’s one of the best shoe stores on earth.

The newest Ivy Loafer is a Horween Shell Cordovan color 6 (not 8)! A burgundy with slightly less color, which is quite a rare cordovan. Go get them!

My size might be missing though…sorry

Comfort!

The whole point of wearing shoes without socks is it’s more comfortable. So why am I reading articles and hearing about guys complaining about their cut up feet and ankles?

So you look comfortable but are actually uncomfortable? Hear me out folks.

Fedeli Uomo is another one of those small Italian clothing companies that rarely changes much but never fails to have amazing pieces.

Their Fall/Winter items have me just itching to break out my bean boots and start shoveling snow…(more below)

Simple Complexity

That’s the M.O. of Tork Design. It’s not too often that I find objects such as desks and shelves attractive but, good design will always stand out.
