So these guys take the first and the best polaroid cameras ever made (the SX-70), restore them, and essentially sell them as new. There a few guys doing this right now, but apparently Mint is the top dog. The cameras run about $370 which isn’t too bad given old and unrestored cameras that often don’t work run about $100.
I’ve mentioned in the past that I own and love the Peak Design Camera sling. The only thing that bothers me about the bag is its modern aesthetic and try as I might, I just can’t get over it. So rather than pocket my vanity, I decided to make a move and try another bag – The Wotancraft Pilot.
Essentially, Wotancraft is a workshop that was created in 2009 in Taipei City. The idea was to create every day camera bags inspired by vintage military designs, but with modern conveniences.
A few years back, I bought a Wotancraft Scout for a friend of mine as a gift. It was an expensive ($350) bag with incredibly rich details and a built quality that can only be described as perfect. To put it shortly, the bag was very obviously handmade by someone with a shit-ton of passion for making bags.
Anyway, I fell in love with that Scout and it made sense to try Wotancraft again – only this time, for myself.

Filson just released an old bag in a new color way. It’s the traditional briefcase in a sort of Wes Anderson style camouflage and I totally dig it. These are the types of bags you buy once… and then use it off and on for the rest of your life. In fact, I still own and use a Filson bag that my dad bought in the 1970s…
I’m not much of a hippie… But, I am a guy that appreciates folks that stick up for what they believe in. Instead of hugging trees, Triwa stands up and says shit like, “Stop messing with our oceans or we will kick your teeth out.”
You can always tell when someone that isn’t passionate about watches does a collaboration with a watch company. They typically start with some sort of a homage case, add some modern flair, and then finish it all off with a god damned date window.
Like these people didn’t have enough access to your life through your Digital activity… Amazon has finally released the Astro – a household robot designed for home monitoring. Basically, it’s one of those connected Ring cameras capable of moving around your pad and identifying shit that doesn’t belong.
Priced at $1,000… This thing has the potential to cost you A LOT more.
