Schott in the Dark

/

They were the first company to put zippers on jackets. They helped make icons out of James Dean, Bruce Springsteen, and the Ramones. When you think of the iconic American leather jacket, you're thinking of Schott NYC. Still run by third and fourth generations of the Schott family, they continue to make all the classics like Peacoats, Bombers, and Cafe Racers. They also make fantastic non-leather garments. They are not 100% American made any longer, so be sure to click on "Made in USA" for your personal piece of Rock and Roll history.

Tough Cuffs

/

I always have difficulty finding jewelry for men. I wouldn't say that I'm a conservative dresser or anything, but I'm sure most men would agree that the majority of accessories for men are either extremely trashy looking, or simply feminine. If I were to put a criteria for a good bracelet/necklace/ring, I'd say the only things that matter is that its simple, good quality, and small. Simply put, the accessory should match a modern man's wardrobe. If my rant makes any sense then you'll be surprised to hear that I actually found something I like. Austin based designers Christine Fail of Fail Jewelry and Natalie Davis of Canoe teamed up for a collection simply named Fail+Canoe. I love how natural and rustic these bracelets look. They sure meet my criteria, what about yours?
