Duluth Pack Canvas Backpack

I’ve been in pursuit of the perfect backpack to house all the s— I tote around with me throughout the day, and I do believe I’ve found it. Behold: The original Duluth Pack Canvas Backpack.
Constructed of heavy duty 15 oz. canvas, Midwestern leather and brass rivets, assembled right here in the U.S., This backpack is made to last. I appreciate the simple, rugged aesthetic it bares.
Low-key, attractive and functional; that’s how I like to roll.

Available at Kaufmann Mercantile for $135.00.

Now I just need to decide which color to go with.

Government Issue Watch Cap

With sweater weather fast approaching, I’ve gradually started adding Fall/Winter items to my wardrobe, beginning with the essentials. My first purchase: A classic black knit cap. You know how particular I am about quality garments, so I payed a visit to The Barre Army Navy Store and picked up this government issue Watch Cap. Warm, versatile, extremely durable and most importantly, made in U.S.A according to military specification.

A few highlights:

– 100%, 54′s US Standard Wool
– Mothproof
– Colorfastness (fastness to light, laundering and perspiration)

 

It’s currently on discount for $6.79. However, when you visit the site you’re immediately greeted with an additonal 10% discount and an optional survey, and to top that off you receive another $3.00 for simply liking the item on Facebook. Thank you and you’re welcome.

General Knot & Co. Bow Ties

Honestly, you won’t find much formal attire in my wardrobe. A few select items from Brooks Brothers,  a couple Hickey Freeman suits,  a few pairs of Cole Haan’s… Point is: I only dress up when I need to. Weddings, interviews, cocktail parties etc.

However, in the event that I do fix up, you will always find me in a bow tie. I’m a bow tie guy. Don’t ask me why. I just like bow ties, you know, like Dr. Who. Which brings me to the focus of this post: General Knot & Co. bow ties. Made by hand right here in the US, in limited quantities, using vintage fabrics, these bow ties  can, without a doubt, be considered some of the best damn bow ties money can buy. The color schemes, patterns, and materials used are pure perfection. The prices are also very attractive, ranging between $58-$68.  Check out some of my favorite styles below.

So let’s review:

• American made bow ties

• Constructed of vintage fabrics

• In limited quantities

• Priced between $50-70

• In the most amazing color schemes and patterns you’ve probably ever seen

Do yourself a favor and cop several. I know I am.
