Fjallraven Jacket, Wolverine Boots, Inventory

I have tried these on, and will definately be a pickup once I get to Sweden. Fits like a gem. It can be washed to remove the wax for a lighter spring/summer coat and then have the wax reapplied. Frankly, the picture doesn't do the coat justice.


Up next is the 1000 Mile Boots from Wolverine. It is hard to decide where to throw money, so many brands doing similar things. These Wolverine boots are unique, standing out from the rest of the collection. They may be a little high but I definately enjoy the heel detail and moc toe stitching.

Last but not least, the Hypebeast feature on the Inventory space that recently opened up in Vancouver. The photos definately capture the atmosphere and in my opinion there is a humble atmosphere when you walk in. Having been in a seleciton of boutiques, I have to say that this was the most pleasent experience out of the lot. I say the dude (Ryan Willms) around my end of town on more than one occasion without knowing who he was. Check it out...

Double Edge Safety Razor

Staying away from blogs and forums for a good minute have made me forget how much interesting shit I used to stumble across on a daily basis. This car thing is taking over my life again but I think it is time that I stop focusing so much on it and let the chips fall where they may. That means that I'm gonna start looking at gear related stuff again haha. I recently shaved my beard and now I can't seem to let myself grow it out again. The only thing is, my razor sucks. A couple of days ago Scott Schuman of the Sartorialist brought up the issue of where to get replacement heads for his old razor that looks like the one above. Somebody left this link on one of his comments, http://www.kinowear.com/blog/the-elusive-perfect-shave/. It's pretty geeky but it is an interesting read. Like most things, it's funny how a task that seems so simple can have so many tangents that doesn't make it seem like a simple shave anymore. If I still have money left over after blowing it all on my car I wanna pick up a razor like this.
