Feltraiger
I’ve been checking out the wares of the awfully nice brothers over at Feltraiger lately. While I think they’ve had good traction with that T – gotta love it’s called “California Girls” – I really like the shirts, the White LAX in particular. I like the simple straightforward things they are doing and am looking [...]
Outlier
A while back I posted about Outlier and our plans to check them out. We got our hands on some a while back and have been putting them through the paces. In the photos above, Jedd took his 4Season OG’s to Belize and snapped a few action shots. As suspected they are perfect travel pants, [...]

Creep Clothing
It’s been a while since I’ve looked at Creep stuff. I had forgotten about it until I pulled a shirt out for summer. It’s a strange shirt – clearly designer Kiyofumi Awai has no problems mixing patterns, textures or materials – but it seems to go over well when I wear it. These few picts [...]
Alain Delorme – Totems
Love these “photos” from Alain Delorme. Around the Mawoi cooler we talk a lot about how things are made, where they’re made, and what that all means so the subject matter here connects and, beyond that, they’re just cool. If anyone is in Paris, feel free to pick one up for me! Found via And [...]

Belt drive bicycles
My daily bike has been lying dormant due to some really minor maintenance issues so I’ve been using my girl’s Langster. It got me thinking it might be time for a new bike (isn’t it always?). A buddy suggested I look into a belt drive bike – clearly in part as a jab at my [...]
ELC – 100 Days

Gotham vs. the Windy City?
Outlier (on the left) and Nonetheless (right) are clearly doing something similar in their two fair cities and that something is right down my alley. The question is, who’s doing it better? Now I’m all for keeping everyone friends but a healthy debate can be fun sometimes? Right? My initial take is that I like [...]

Meka World – More container based housing
Even though I now think shipping containers don’t make great building materials, I’m still taken by the idea. Just seems like such a great re-use and so, so close. Here’s a recent example forwarded from our friends at Housefish, the Meka series. And I tend to agree, how are they including all that for the [...]
