We all have ideas. In the real world, you need money to turn those crazy ideas into something tangible. Kickstarter has helped thousands of entrepreneurs and creatives turn their sketches into shipping products. Phoenix Apparel, is an independent apparel company co-founded by Roby Garcia and his mom (that’s right) Sylvia […]
Umbrellas stand no chance against heavy rainfall and wind. Unless you’re using a giant golf umbrella, the life expectancy of most umbrellas is a season or two. Kikkerland’s Umbrella Samurai is a popular choice for most, and we like the handle design, but haven’t yet seen anything really unique in […]
When it comes to gadgets, we want the best. Cables are no exception in our pursuit, and frankly, we could up our cable game. BelayCords are featured on Kickstarter, and they make the first reversible USB cable. This sounds silly to some, but to have a charging cable that cannot […]
There are lot of modular products out there, but few have caught my eye as “must-have.” Taiwan-based mininch studio’s Tool Pen multitool is one such product that stands out. The Tool Pen is a solid aluminum, pen, that houses several types of screwdriver tool bits that can be swapped around. […]
Created with a back to basics approach, the HANDGREY Quick-Release Titanium Carabiner Keychain is the final product after 102 iterations.

As avid golfers and New Yorkers, we’ve grown accustomed to the challenge of lugging around our clubs throughout the city. We hate it. Our driver is 46 inches and at nearly 4 feet long, that’s a big nuisance when walking the streets. DV8 Sports has designed space-saving adjustable golf clubs […]
The multi-tool is an essential item all men must carry. A Leatherman is a great choice, but for those looking for something smaller, Christopher Frederick has come out with the Boss Multi-Tool on Kickstarter. The Boss Multi-Tool is a key-sized titanium tool that has over 9 functions from a screw […]
Gadgets with wooden finishes are trendy this year. From the makers of the Orée Board 2 wooden Bluetooth keyboard and wooden multitouch trackpad comes the Pebble 2, a two-in-one device that’s a wireless charger for your smartphone and tablet, and a 360-degree speaker. The Pebble 2 (not to be confused […]
Living in an apartment is tough. You either limit the amount of stuff you have in it, or you put all your stuff in storage. In NYC, where space is limited and apartments are small, there’s really no good place to put a bike (locking it up on the street […]
Eating and exercise both contribute to your waistline changing over time. Most belts are designed with holes for easy adjusting, but the holes themselves can get worn out, day-in and day-out. After a while, that fine belt made from Italian leather is no longer so immaculate anymore. Classic guys might […]
We’ve been tempted and have fallen victim of exciting and interesting watches that are hot, but go out of business in a few years. Watches are meant to be milestones in your life, not another pair of shoes for your outfit. They’re also expensive. Everyone has a different financial status […]
It’s often said that the leap to digital has created a new generation that is unable to appreciate the beauty of the analog (or physical, however you want to put it). Growing up in the ’90s, I never truly appreciated Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) TVs or computer monitors. Sci-fi movies […]
