Eat Your Meat & Wear It Too

If you live in Brooklyn or are at least a little bit savvy to the NYC borough’s dining establishments, you’ve probably heard of the Marlow & Sons family. With four restaurants – Marlow & Sons, Diner, Roman’s and Reynard in the Wythe Hotel – and the all-grass fed butcher shop Marlow & Daughters, you could consider them a small empire. And because we love when the worlds of food and fashion collide, we were ecstatic to discover the wearable addition to the family, Marlow Goods.

With sustainability always at the top of mind, Marlow & Daughters receives a weekly shipment of grass-fed cows, pigs, goats, lambs, ducks, geese, chickens and rabbits from farms in New England, upstate New York and Pennsylvania to be broken down and sent to their restaurants. But what was the one element missing from the sustainability equation? Marlow had no use for the animal hides. But after 10 years of dreaming about a leather goods brand, Marlow Goods was finally born.

An upstate New York tannery custom tans the hides of cows and pigs served in their Brooklyn restaurants. To expand the line, they began purchasing wool from the lambs and ewes to make warm and stylish blankets, sweaters and rugs. And everything is made within a three hour drive of NYC. Now that is some fashion we can seriously stand behind.

The IWC Portugieser collection

The collection throws it back to the Portugieser of the 1930s, where the design got its first inspiration from those gorgeous navigational watches on the deck of a ship. Keep that nautical theme in your head because each piece in the collection has celestial details as the star.

This new Cartier watch tells time backwards
Turn back time with the new Santos
Cartier Rewind on wrist

Wristwatches may be distinctly masculine pieces of hardware now, thanks to some very popular people in pop culture and in our own history adopting them. British super spy James Bond, movie stars, and athletes are the people we look up to who wear watches that catch our eye. Soldiers, cops, firefighters, and first responders wear watches they trust to ensure they can save lives. Pilots and divers created an entire industry around watches specifically designed for their vocations. And the very first pilot's watch was none other than a Cartier watch.

Alberto Santos-Dumont was a pioneer in the flight world and was one of the first people on Earth to achieve air travel. He was a competitor of the Wright Brothers, and, depending on the source, he preceded them in flight. In any case, the French celebrity went to Louis Cartier, another pioneer of his craft, and procured a square timekeeper meant for the wrist. The Cartier Santos Dumont was born. Over a century later, Cartier attended Watches and Wonders and presented the newest in the line of Santos watches, one that reverses time.
