I’ve been wanting a pair of harness boots for ages, although once I realized how painfully expensive buying the ones from Frye would be—250 freaking dollars—I went with a generic brand off of eBay for $65. So value is go, but did I buy something that’s going to make me look like I’m trying to […]

Hats that make sly references to a much beloved but nuked-from-orbit sci-fi television series? The perfect winter wear. This “Jayne Hat,” modeled after the one given to Adam Baldwin’s character on Firefly by his mother is not for sale, but instructions have been made available. Of course, if you’re really going to wear this ironic […]

Clothing shouldn’t be a soul-sapping daily reminder of your self-loathing, but when you’re shorter or taller or thinner or fatter than average it’s easy to just ignore fashion entirely to focus on comfort. I mean, you’re never going to look like a model anyway, so why bother, right?

Dethroner Forum member “ThinkandDrive” made a great post about his shaving process, a product-heavy mix of traditional (boar’s hair shaving brush) and modern (Mach 3 Turbo, King of Shaves pre-shave oil). But as any shaver knows, it’s not just the products that you use that matter, but the ritual:

These Upland hunting jackets from Browning are great, splitting the line between leather racer jacket and tactical couture. I’d probably go for the one without the visible pockets for shotgun shells. (The “with shells” model is called the “X-Change,” and actually features sleeves that can be removed to turn it into a vest.)
Both are available […]

I’ve been toying with the idea of painting some clothes (specifically some cheap jackets). The whorls and vines that show up on many clothes these days are neat in their way, but somehow I’d be way more into them if the designs were something I’d made myself.
Because I’m not really into buying a kit, I […]
