While it bums me out that Taylor Stitch moved a bunch of their manufacturing over seas, they still know how to design a garment. Their latest is a hoodie built for the beach…
I never knew these existed… Essentially, Bill Collins (formerly of DeLorean) designed a Motorhome called the Vixen 21 and it was available from 1986 until 1989 or so. Initially, the motorhome featured a pop top and an incredibly efficient BMW M21 turbo-diesel capable of more than 30mpg. As sales lagged and financial troubles burdened, however, Vixen started shorting the motorhome by getting rid of the pop-top and exchanging the diesel for a 3800 Buick V6.
Apparently, people still love these things… Just over 300 were ever produced.
The Vanquest Dendrite is a sort of under the radar, low cost, sling solution with a ton of space. I think it’s been ignored in large part because of the strange colors it was sold in… But today, Vanquest released it in black.
Blackwing pencils are my favorite. I love the way they feel in my hand, I love the way they look, and you can’t help but love the way they write. Recently, Grovemade did a collaboration with Blackwing and now you can get a gorgeous little station for your pencils.
The 2022 Travel Collection from AER is now complete with the release of a small carry-on pack called the Flight Pack 3. I was sent one of these to play with and like everything made by AER, it features gorgeous build quality and smart design. To be frank, it’s the perfect carry-on if you check a bag and just want to carry the essentials with you.
Today, news leaked that Porsche is gonna field a Formula 1 car. Also, they are re-releasing the Chronograph 1. You can pre-order it for $10,500. Incredibly overpriced given you can get a similar Sinn for less than half the cost… BUT, these will be worth around $20k in a year’s time.
Klipsch seems to focus on aesthetics more than most mainstream audio companies and this 2.1 system is further proof of that. Basically, you are looking at two satellite speakers and an 8″ sub with a vintage look and feel, but modern sound meshing. I really dig this setup for $349…
I’ve used Samsung T7 SSD drives for years. They are tiny, fast, and reasonably price for their performance. I just learned, however, that Samsung is releasing an update to the series – the T7 Shield. Essentially, it’s an SSD that keeps the small size of the earlier variations, but adds durability by way of a sleeve.
