my stuff-thrift store finds

By jon | Published: September 2, 2010
I’ve been going to antique stores, thrift shops, and garage sales since I can remember. When I was little it was all about cool toys or army stuff. In high school it was finding the most obscure, non sequitur t-shirt. Now it’s furniture, found objects, and outerwear. I found these shirts and sweater at a [...]

my stuff-Randolph Engineering

By jon | Published: August 30, 2010
I’ve been a fan of Randolph Engineering sunglasses ever since I saw them on all plaidout. When a company holds military contracts you know construction and durability won’t be a question. With prices ranging from $99-170 these sunglasses are tough to beat.  Needless to say, I was more than elated when the kind folks from Massachusetts [...]

saturdays and spring courts

By jon | Published: August 10, 2010
I was in New York wandering around the city with a friend when we realized this place was close by. Saturdays has a great feel, cool stuff to look at, and on an annoyingly hot July day, very welcomed iced coffee. They also have a pretty cool outdoor courtyard. Like the shop itself, the courtyard [...]

my stuff-an early Fall look

By jon | Published: August 8, 2010
I found this naval jacket at an antique mall in Beloit. I’ve been looking for a solid wool double breasted jacket for awhile now. The cut is like a hybrid between a blazer and a pea coat. I’m pretty sure it’s from the mid ’40s-solid heavy wool and metal buttons. Can’t beat it for 30 [...]

Over the holiday weekend I may or may not have ransacked an estate sale early in the morning. My treasure and a few randoms thrown in for good measure.

my stuff

By jon | Published: June 30, 2010
Ever since I posted about my Billykirk card case, people have asked how much stuff it can really hold. I finally got around to taking a few photos that may help show its capacity. As you can see, I’m not wary of stuffing this thing. The stitching, snaps, and leather are all tough enough to [...]

my stuff

By jon | Published: June 21, 2010
Since I got my Billykirk cardcase last July, it’s been a faithful companion keeping my meager funds safe and my Hill-Side bandanna company. I’ve taken a few photos of it as I’ve stumbled across this world and thought it’d be a way to show how the leather ages and just how durable this little wallet [...]

my stuff- Army Surplus

By jon | Published: June 7, 2010
Army Surplus stores, depending on where you live (sorry New Yorkers) can be a great resource for everything from clothing to camping gear. For those interested in well made affordable gear, your local Army Navy is the place to be. The key in Army Surplus shopping is knowing what you want. If you want the [...]

Check out my Denim Debate update. These Flat Heads are easily one of my favorite articles of clothing right now. So head on over and marvel at how grown men refuse to wash their pants.

1970 Honda CL 350. Needs some work but it’s well on its way to daily rider status. See you on the road?
