These remind me of those old school glasses they’d give away in the 80s from Burger King and McDonalds, you remember those? Every summer BK and McD’s would battle over whichever movie license was cooler that year, and then put out some amazing drinking glasses for kids to endlessly barter over (the Empire Strikes Back […]

The inimitable fashion of Victor Wilde and The Bohemian Society
We’ve been following Victor Wilde’s work for awhile now, mostly because he’s not one of those dudes that just talks a lot of game and then never delivers — he’s a true out hustler. And a very talented designer. At our Liberace’s Penthouse party Victor performed his Living Dolls art show, which is essentially a […]

The third volume of vintage Motorcycle logos collected at the Quail Motorcycle Gathering (see Vol I and Vol II here). This week is a bit special due to the presence of three incredibly rare and coveted motos, the Crocker, Sunbeam and Brough Superior.

When briefcase and backpack combine
The Palmer & Sons Suitcase No 03 certainly has a lot going for it. It’s a reworking of a vintage style, which is always highly appreciated. Apart from that, Palmer and Sons are proud to proclaim that each bag is “custom built one at a time”; this would decidedly make the vintage bag a one-of-a-kind […]

USS Heritage/Air Sea Holdall Bag
There are a lot of “heritage” products that just sort of reek of exploitation, but I have to admit I’m feeling this Air Sea Bag from Union6 and Heritage Research Project. “Handmade in England from an original WWII heavy HBT kit bag, the AIR SEA bag has original spec 50mm webbing handles, 40’s leather and […]

BSA, Evans, Triumph, Vincent, Indian and more
A couple weeks back I went to the Quail Motorcycle Gathering in Carmel, California to cover the debut of the Kestrel Falcon, and while walking the field one thing that struck me was the variety, color and high detail of the various vintage motorcycle manufacturers’ logos. Of course many were simply repainted, but they were […]

The perfect book for the typography nerd in all of us
I can’t really explain it, but I have a deep love for good typography. Maybe it comes from years in the magazine publishing world, time spent as a graphic designer, or just an adoration of letters and numbers presented in a visually engaging way. It’s an art, and one that makes all the difference in […]
