Paul Smith Card Holder

paul smith card holder Paul Smith Card Holder

File this one under ‘odd moves’. You may have forgotten, but Eluxury are now shutting down in just two weeks time. One the one hand you can mourn the loss of a good online store, which stocked a far few Selectism favourites. On the other hand, there’s a sale going on and you’d be silly to not take advantage. By now you should how we feel about card holders. They’re slim, sleek and perfect for those who don’t carry much cash around with them. This Paul Smith card holder is down to $74 and to be honest, we would have recommended it at full price. Get it from Eluxury.

A classic jack from the current Engineered Garments collection. Works well as a day coat or style it a great look for an evening affair.

Be sure to check out the older Whipcord version of the Bedford we covered a while back. (odin)

Breitling Airwolf Raven Chronograph SuperQuartz

breitling airwolf raven 2009 watch 00 Breitling Airwolf Raven Chronograph SuperQuartz

A Blog to Read gives us the lowdown on the Breitling Airwolf Raven Chronograph SuperQuartz Watch by citing what makes this Breitling much different than the usual “chronograph watch in a heavy highly polished metal case.”

“Breitling decided to add actual chronograph pushers instead of having all the functions be operated through the crown (in other Airwolf models as well). Other functions in the two negative LCD screens are a second timezone, alarm, countdown timer, and perpetual calendar. The chronograph function measures 1/100 of a second time. The hands of the watch are similar to those on the new 2009 Aerospace watch that are longer and have counterweights.”

Selectism | Around the Web

samsung digital cam Selectism | Around the Web

01. Samsung’s 12 megapixel WB1000 rocks analog gauges, 3-inch OLED (above)

“While it’s not the first name you think of in digital cameras, Samsung makes a decent piece of kit and its SL820 took the top prize in our recent summer shootout. So we figured you’d want to know that its WB1000 compact with those smokin’ analog battery and capacity gauges is now on sale for KRW548,000 or about $418 closer to home.” (engadget)

02. Shield Your Eyes, Golf Fans: Here Comes John Daly

“In the staid world of American professional golf, John Daly has always stood out, but never more so than this week. The Bunyanesque two-time major champion is making his return to the PGA Tour, after a six-month suspension for bad behavior, sporting a wardrobe right out of Caddyshack. Daly is being outfitted by Loudmouth Golf…” (luxist)

03. Alice Cooper Loses Bag Of Films

“Alice Cooper has appealed for the return of a bag containing a collection of obscure horror films. Cooper lost the bag when arriving at Heathrow Airport, and is said to be so devastated that he’s offered a pair of AAA passes to his current tour to anyone who finds the band and its contents.” (quietus)

04. Sustain miniHome debuts the new 12 x 36 California Edition

“It’s no secret that we dig Sustain miniHomes. Inhabitat has always appreciated their sustainable spin on the mobile home and have eaten up their eye candy since the beginning. But on this fabulous prefab Friday, we have some even more exciting news to report!  The Toronto-based builders are coming to Los Angeles to debut their California edition — the first of the 12 WIDE series designed with special consideration for passive cooling and ventilation in a range of California climates.” (inhabitant)

05. Why Round Sunglasses? A Style Investigation

“This summer, however, the memo for sunglasses says circles are in. Very round shapes, as round as goggles in some cases, appeared in the recent women’s collections of Marc Jacobs and Proenza Schouler; and, for men, from Ralph Lauren, Zegna and Lanvin (most costing from $300 to $400). Last month, New York magazine included round sunglasses among the anticipated trends of the summer.” (nyt)

Ray-Ban RB 3136 Caravan Aviator Sunglasses

ray ban aviators 00 Ray Ban RB 3136 Caravan Aviator Sunglasses

Nothing much to say about these classic aviators from Ray-Ban that you don’t already know. When it comes to sunglasses, I prefer the metal frames to the plastic (which I reserve for eyeglasses). “Ray-Ban RB 3136 Caravan, with gold metal frame and G15-XLT lens. This is an all-time American classic, less common than the wayfarer, every bit as good.” (oi)

UK’s Albam offers a nice array of bill folds for  those looking to upgrade. Color wise you have some good options – from blues to pastel red – all finished in leather with their familiar cross stich on the corners. Holds up to eight cards none of which are those tart cards we featured yesterday (we hope). (moclassics)

Undercoverism Leather Sleeveless Hoodie

undercoverism leather sleevless hoodie 00 Undercoverism Leather Sleeveless Hoodie

I’m having difficulty determining which season this is from but Undercoverism, a line we rarely cover on Selectism, breaks through to me with this sleeveless leather hoodie. Now, it is probably not a garment that I would be able to wear with regularity but the construction and angle of the zips as well as the liner make it proper attire for the motorcyclist looking for a lightweight riding hoodie.
