Pioneer X WESN

Ryan

I’m a huge fan of Pioneer. They use materials that others don’t dare to and they do it with a smart eye on design. And while I have yet to try their new pouch line, they look dope as hell. Recently, they launched a collaboration with WESN… Essentially, it’s a Pioneer Global pouch packaged with a titanium micro blade from WESN.

M-19 Multi-bit Screw Driver

Ryan

Knives & Tools

A pretty clever design for something that I don’t think has been perfect just yet – an EDC multi-bit screwdriver. This attempt uses a skeletized frame with magnets… Pretty good.

1733 Side Back

Ryan

Bags & Wallets

1733 makes bespoke bags as well as anyone. Attention to detail, build quality, design… it’s all there. Thing is, they are NEVER in stock. If you are in need of a large cross shoulder or fanny bag, now is your chance.

Kith + Mad Contax G2 Kit

Ryan

Tech

To be frank, I have no idea who Kith or Mad is… But, they collaborated by restoring a bunch of Contax G2 cameras and releasing them in crazy colorways. The G2 is one of my all time favorite film cameras and these things look to be pretty damned cool.

These haven’t been release yet, but once they are you will find details here.

TRAYVAX Venture Billfold

Ryan

Bags & Wallets

Trayvax is sort of famous for their aluminum framed slim wallets. Traditionally, they’ve been sleeve style wallets with multiple pockets. Recently, however, they’ve released a new folding wallet featuring an aluminum frame and it seems to be more flexible than their earlier offerings.

NuPhy Air75

Ryan

Tech

This isn’t some hyper-expensive mechanical keyboard with the perfect sound and feel. What it is, is a highly compact and slim line mechanical with a decent feel, good build quality, and a great price.

Timex Q GMT

Ryan

Watches

The latest from Timex is obviously influenced by the Rolex GMT, but is powered by a quartz movement and features a number of different vintage material influences. Stainless links, acrylic crystal, etc… Pretty dope.

Replica 1897 Limited Edition

Ryan

Knives & Tools

Pretty rad… Swiss Army is re-releasing their 1897 classic. They are only selling 9,999 of them… so if ya want one, you had better hurry! Or not… Are there really 10,000 people out there looking to spend $500 on a Swiss Army knife?
