GEAR | Land Rover Duck Boots


There are classic Bean Boots, sure. For a deeper cut there's Schnee's out of Bozeman, Montana—a personal favorite. But if you're the type that gets off having the rarest, hardest to find, most esoteric of foul weather boots, then you may be interested in a pair of vintage (80s probably) Land Rover branded duck boots. Available on Etsy, eBay, and beyond, the boots are just as rugged and good looking as their namesake vehicles, and come in a variety of shapes and styles, but are of course, a much more fuel efficient way to own a pair of Land Rovers. Happy hunting, my friends.



GEAR | Joshu+Vela Brass Keyhook

Earlier this year, while up in San Francisco, I paid a visit to Joshu+Vela's founder Noah Guy in his S.F. studio. One of the things I remember going a little crazy about was this brass keyhook he had hanging from his belt loop. It's so functional and yet so elegant at the same time. I've always wanted something to hold my keys to a belt loop or a bag that wasn't too masculine, and I remember saying in May, "WHEN is that going to be out!?" He told me to be patient. He was still working to perfect it so that it would be easy to hook, fall gracefully, be just long enough to tuck your keys in a pocket to keep them silent, and always secure. It's people like Noah that I want to always buy from because the amount of thought that goes into his items is almost ludicrous. After tweaking this key hook design for TWO YEARS, the Joshu+vela sand cast solid brass key hook ($35) is on the market.

GIFT GUIDE | Huckberry's Gifts for Women


Late last week, Huckberry launched their women's gift guide, which is a great place to both shop for tomboys and also drop as a subtle hint (ahem...) for people who may have you on their list. Their picks extend to everything from rugged outdoorsy wares like Woolrich x Topo gear kits to sophisticated goods like Nisolo leather bags. Here are some of my favorite picks of their picks—which will only be up for another week and some change!

Clockwise from top left: Luke Fedora ($65); Woolrich x Topo Gear Kit ($34); Juniper Ridge Cabin Spray ($35); RUMPL Twin Peak Blanket ($180); Vacation Days Pacific Silk Scarf ($59); Nisolo Lori Leather Tote ($140); Misc Goods Co. Ceramic Flask ($79); Izolo Red Cedar Incense ($13).
