Nerding out...

So I love geeky type shit. What of it!
I am probably pre-ordering this Spyderco Para Military 2. I have a similar type of knife called the Caly 3 which is also shown below. It can be hard to justify a large knife for EDC and the Para 2 is a tad longer in length of blade and total length but I think its comprised features make it all the worth while. High end steel, g10 handles, flat ground blade, big lanyard hole, torx screws for serviceability and its made in the USA.

Para 2

I also picked up this Quark 123 Tactical as well as a Nitecore D10 pocket clip to do my own mod. The clip will allow for a deep pocket carry of the light which I felt was missing in its design. The clip version of the light is not really designed for pocket carry.

Finally, I thought this post on Selectism was neat. Actual knife/tool carried by German troops. Sturdy locking blade, saw and etc. but also the nice rich green sets it off from the regular version.

Boots...

I am really liking these Viberg boots. They are similar to my Daytons but I really love the brown. It is interesting how the difference in color can change an outfit. The captoe is a nice detail especially with the 'brogueing' (wikipedia that shit).

  

I was cruising through the Hukurokujo blog and saw these Alden Indy's resoled with a vibram sole. We always perved on Indy boots and I still love the silhouette.

 

Finally, I love these Alden Foss Tugger boots. I have grey roughout boots from Dayton but they are pretty bulky - I have nicknamed them stompers. The first incarnation of the Foss boot was in a beautiful black leather but this go around they have done it in an 'earthy' toned reverse leather - which has a more subtly resemblance to the roughout on my Daytons.

Sticking with the Vibram trend, the dude at Oak Street Bootmakers told me the shoes I ordered should be done by end of november. This picture sold me on the shoes, in my opinion they will be extremely versatile throughout various outfits/seasons.

Dickies Mason Boots

I know... I just bought boots. I really like these though. Same idea as the Red Wing Chukka but comes in more colourways and probably at least half the price. These boots are sleek. Something you could wear rugged but dress up at the same time. The light grey ones are calling my name. Definitely a boot I'd consider in the near future.

The Influencers

INFLUENCERS FULL VERSION from R+I creative on Vimeo.

"INFLUENCERS is a short documentary that explores what it means to be an influencer and how trends and creativity become contagious today in music, fashion and entertainment.

The film attempts to understand the essence of influence, what makes a person influential without taking a statistical or metric approach.

Written and Directed by Paul Rojanathara and Davis Johnson, the film is a Polaroid snapshot of New York influential creatives (advertising, design, fashion and entertainment) who are shaping today's pop culture.

"Influencers" belongs to the new generation of short films, webdocs, which combine the documentary style and the online experience."

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.

re: Rucksack

Picked up this old rucksack at a military store. Bought new leather and hardware to try and restore it a bit. I think it has some potential.

re: James Bond

Visvim Virgils maybe?
He looks badass. For some reason when he wears a hoodie jeans and boots he looks .. well ... bad ass haha..
I just realized that all I pretty much wear are sweaters. I need to wear some other shit but the weather here is pretty hard to predict so wearing anything lighter is usually problematic for later in the day or at night. You should drive your EK in gumball and ill be your wing man haha.

re: Club Monoco

Here are the crewnecks I was mentioning. These are size medium.

What boots do you think James Bond is wearing? I want a bit of a chunkier boot that I can wear even if my denim are straight leg. I still like my Clarks but I want something a bit more casual. I wear my dbs with hoodies and stuff but I just think that a chunkier boot would look a bit more relaxed for when I'm dressing down. Oh, and James Bond is bad ass.

Acronym 2010 Spring/Summer Collection

S-J7/S-J14 from Concrete Store on Vimeo.

Acronym captured the way that I view their brand in this video. I always thought Acronym was so tech that it reminded me of some shit you would wear on a top secret mission. In my opinion the video would have been topped off if Errolson Hugh was driving some stealthed out S2000 or something haha (that's the Honda bug talking...) It's cool how a brand that markets itself so little can manage to get it's point of being across to consumers who stumble upon it. I guess that is what happens when the products speak for themselves. I can't afford Acronym but I definitely find their branding and products interesting.

These caught my eye this morning.
