The Colonel Can Caddie

During those languid, long summer days, nothing beats a cold beer while kicking back on the porch or dock (or anywhere really). But Lord knows we try hard to keep it classy on occasion and those foam koozies we grew up with simply don’t pass muster.

Luckily, we stumbled upon a little company based in Lynnville, Tennessee (pop. 327) called Colonel Littleton, who hand crafts bridle leather ‘can caddies’. They come insulated with a neoprene liner to keep your beer cool and are assembled with brass rivets and stitched top to bottom. You can even take it to another level and have them personalized with one initial. But we aren’t sure our collars are that pressed for such accessorizing, but hey, it’s a pretty good idea for personalized gift giving so give it a shot. Sold as a set of four.

In between stints where he flirts with running for governor of Texas, Matthew McConaughey apparently found enough time to make a new Apple movie with American Ferrera. Now, we've got our first teaser for that movie, which is titled The Lost Bus. The film is centered on California's 2018 Camp Fire.

The film is based on Lizzie Johnson's fact-based novel Paradise: One Town’s Struggle to Survive an American Wildfire, which chronicles the deadliest wildfire in the state's history. McConaughey plays a bus driver and Ferrera a teacher, and the two of them are focused on saving a bus full of children amidst the chaos of the fire.
