Marc Jacob's latest "special" could very well be a tribute to the classic Pulp record (which interestingly enough is celebrating its 10th birthday this 2008), but may be more commentary on his brand and lifestyle. The man is out there doing his thing and could not care less what you or I think about it. God bless for that. Available in red, white, black and brown.

We are really getting into the idea of thicker shirts, that you can wear in the Fall as a thin jacket and then in the winter as a shirt. You will see these a lot this season from various brands.

Music is the lifeline of what we do here in the office and having a beautiful iPod dock to keep the choons flowing only helps. We're loving these two desktop iPod docks from Amadana. The Amadana AD-203 Desktop CD iPod Docks are available in black or white body with woodgrain panels. What we love is the integrated CD player in the unit which is not usually found in desktop iPod docks. Sound clarity is supposedly rich and clean and the addition of retro style controls on the top and a bright alarm LED make the AD-203 magic.

These French inspired sunglasses from AM Eyewear provide some very wearable classic surf infused looks to the modern man. "AM Eyewear hail from Australia, a land of glaring heat, where sunglasses are more than a style accessory but an indispensable part of daily life. Emerging from this culture of eternal sunshine AM Eyewear's vintage styles are delivered with cutting-edge technology." We're particularly fond of the Julzie Gray frames in grey and Bamford blue shades. Available now from Kiosk 78.

Rogues Gallery of Portland, Maine may be famous for producing some of the best sail based leather shoes and boots on the market, but what we really like is their focus and celebration of the New England fishing and maritime heritage that surround them in their home city.
Take for example these excellent tote bags made locally by Rogues Gallery using vintage sails once used on major fishing vessels. The canvas bags are nautically tough using only the finest and strongest materials as they were once used in sailing. The handles on the totes are made from a single piece of sailing rope that wraps itself around the body of the bag giving it even more strength. Available online or at Rogues Gallery on Wharf Pt in Portland, Maine.
