Vans: Sidestripe Origins

Our friends over at Nylon Guys Magazine put out a feature on the iconic Vans Sidestripe recently, and I felt I had to share it with you all.  The shoe itself transcends the skate and action sports world, and has become a part of classic Americana.  Check out what Nylon Guys had to say, and get your own Vans Sidestripes here.

Billabong Grinder Shirt


This long sleeve flannel shirt from Billabong's Garage Collection is a perfect look for fall, combining super soft heathered navy flannel and a print front pocket that adds colour and texture.  It combines the vintage look Billabong has been going for the last few years with a little bit of a tribal influence, and would not look out of place at your local gastropub or the beach.  Check it out here http://ca.billabong.com/shop/product/mens-shirts/grinder-ls?color=NVY

Return to Shaving the Old Fashioned Way


When my dad taught me to shave, the first thing her did was get me a good shaving brush.  In my 20s I ended up changing to the typical shaving foam canister, but the lure of the vintage appeal from this Edwin Jagger Shaving Brush is starting to convince me to come back to my old ways.

Edwin Jagger shaving brushes are filled with the highest quality, hand graded badger hair from the badger species Meles Meles (a sustainable source). Badger hair has been used for more than two centuries to make the finest shaving brushes. Rather than repelling it the hair absorbs water, and, when combined with a good quality shaving cream or soap, produces a rich shaving lather.
