Cool Hunting
Damien C C Brachet
Indonesian Hakka / Parisian, marketing dilettante, from film and fashion in Singapore, to tv promos in Hong Kong, to media in Taipei. Occidental tourist, oriental master of ceremony, West-East impresario, noctambule filibuster, blurry conspirator, and intoxicating art director on impressionable minds.

Nice Collective Army Boots
Favorite menswear line Nice Collective has expanded beyond clothes to shoes with this Fall's addition of army boots. A slight variation on the classic design, these American-handmade boots are rendered in a heavy, dark leather that's been worn-in a bit to maximize both comfort and style. Joe and Ian, founders of San Francisco-based Nice Collective, are Burning Man regulars so as an homage each...

Hands on with the T-Mobile G1
When it goes on sale tomorrow, the T-Mobile G1 will be the very first mobile device to utilize Google's open source operating system, Android. I've been using a G1 for the last couple of weeks and am really impressed—a relief because since the iPhone there really hasn't been a mobile that I've been excited about. While the G1 comes in a nice form-factor with...

Freehands
Last winter I frequently answered my iPhone with my nose—an occasionally humorous but oftentimes frustrating solution to the conundrum of how to stay warm and take calls. This winter, with Freehands, that won't be an issue.

Burton AK Leather Tech Glove
The end of September is not too early to start thinking about keeping warm on the cold winter city streets. It also isn't to early to think about getting back on the mountain for fun on the board. These two pursuits became one when I found these gloves from Burton. The AK Leather Tech Glove is meant to be a killer park glove, but...

Self Edge "Never On Sunday" Shirt
As an homage to Jules Dassin, the blacklisted and recently-deceased director of the 1960 film Pote Tin Kyriaki (Never on Sunday), Self Edge's newest concept shirt is a reproduction of the same shirt the protaganist, Homer, wears towards the end of the narrative. Made of 9-oz black denim from Cone Denim's White Oak collection out of North Carolina, the western style shirt features vintage...
