New Years Resolution A.K.A. Back to the Gym with Style

With the New Year upon us, and many a resolution being made, the Oregon based brand www.willleathergoods.com, will make your trips to the gym a bit more about form and function.  This washed cotton canvas bag with bridle leather handles and trim has a removable shoulder strap.  The duffle bag will not only collapse to fit into your gym locker, but will double as a great carry-on for your next getaway, or just to work.  This bag has four outer pockets and with plenty more for you tech gadgets.  An average bag takes 75 steps in the production process, but this bag takes over 140 to give its masculine, detailed look. Additional rivets, reinforced leather corners and box stitching, are just a few if the extra steps that are taken to ensure the Duffle bag will stand the test if time.

Sporting antique brass and antique nickel hardware, this tartan plaid lined bag incorporates rich vegetable dyes in the tanning process. These not only give the leather its supple hand, but also imbue the elements needed for the leather to remain soft and durable over the life of the bag.

“The main part of the bag allows plenty of room to put their clothing, large items for their important meetings, and their personal items. This makes for an easy travel while going through the airports or traveling in a car. THE TRAVELER is beautifully handcrafted with heavy weight canvas and handpicked leather to last through a lifetime of travels. I have enjoyed designing this duffle for your personal needs,” said Bill Adler, Creative Director of Will Leather Goods.

Bill was an actor, and living in Venice Beach, CA. During the Screen Actors Guild strike in 1981, he needed to find a way to feed his young family, so he opened a belt stand on the Venice Beach Boardwalk.  In October 2012, Will Leather Goods opened their Flagship retail store on Abbot Kinney in Venice Beach.

Serious Question: Why are you wearing anything OTHER than Taylor Stitch this fall?
Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
