maintenance THE GROOMED GENTLEMAN’S KIT

Do you ever wish for the day when some uniformed soul carried your traveling chest on board some massive ocean liner? Well, that was like a thousand years ago dude – now you’re toting your own stuff.

bbq GRILL GRATE

Great weather and a built-in BBQ means we can bbq (actually grill) pretty much year round. Our recently restored and improved built in BBQ (thanks Hector), has grilled everything from grilled staples like burgers and hot dogs – to crawdads, whole fish and pizza.

drink BOUNTY HUNTER RARE WINE & PROVISIONS

In amongst the piles of catalogs I receive the one that I relish is Bounty Hunter. Based out of a Wine Bar and BBQ joint in Napa Valley, Bounty Hunter brings a wide selection of rare wines and spirits to the public via catalog, website and wine bar.

tshirts WOVEN FLESH

The name is a little macabre; the t-shirts are darkly fabulous. Both can be chalked up to the designers being Danish. I first came across Woven Flesh’s work through the Rumplo site. There’s a sampling of their work on Rumplo, but for more designs go to their website where you get to pay in Krona. [...]

wear PERFECT PAIR

Now, I am not suggesting that you attempt to wear cufflinks with a t-shirt – unless you have some male stripper cuffs just hanging around. Even then, not the sort of look I was going for. Really it’s supposed to be the ying-yang of modern man – dress it up or dress it down – [...]
