All About the Hamiltons

I haven't posted a vintage watch in far too long. Totally unacceptable.

Here are the two that I'm looking at now, both from Hamilton.

Vintage Hamilton Military Watch $150-$200

This may look pretty familiar to you, just check out this Timex.

Timex Military Watch $150

Its basically the exact same watch, but buying the original is always cooler.

This next watch is completely different, totally unique, and therefore a lot riskier to buy online.

Vintage Hamilton Wrist Watch $200 or Best Offer

The picture isn't great, but I think its beautiful.

I want them both! What should I do???

Here's a Pointer

Sell your stuff online! I hate companies that don't sell their own products on their website. It doesn't make any sense to me, shouldn't you want your product line to be as accessible as possible? I just don't get it. Either way, I do love Pointer Shoes, especially these.

Debaser $80

It comes in a few other colors as well, if only I knew where I could actually buy them.

Owner Operator

GQ is normally terrible, the same goes for Esquire and Details. I think the three of them actually share a library of recycled content that lines the walls of some overly-decorated soho loft. Nothing's ever new: sexy girls, designer clothing, beach vacations, etc. I usually never buy any of them, but when I'm at the airport, and there's an exceptionally pretty lady on the cover, or maybe Ryan Gosling in a 3-piece suit, sometimes I indulge myself.

Beyonce was this month's pretty girl, and well, I bought a GQ on my way back from Indianapolis.  For the ten minutes that I couldn't use my computer on the plane, it served its purpose. Sexual, and non-sexual man porn. Its like the show Entourage, but in print.

And! Despite all of my criticisms, I did find a new company that seems cool.  Not satisfied with the current mountain style, these two ski-bums started a new performance clothing brand that is both high function, and high fashion. Or as GQ wrote, "The vibe is more Rag & Bone than it is Mountain Hardwear, so feel free to wear it on the street back home too." Check out Owner Operator, designed in Brooklyn.  

Day Pack $165

Cool pack, I also love this shirt.

Wool. C.P.O. $290

But just like much of the wonderful clothing that Rag & Bone offers, I can't afford it.  The same goes for this jacket. Although by combining the style of a Filson or Barbour Jacket with the functionality of a ski jacket, the price isn't too bad considering its basically two coats in one.  

Operator 111 Parka $490

For now though, I'll just have to buy this cheap, but also kind of cool shirt.

Owner Operator T $40

Everything looks good with a naked-brick background.

Indianapolis

The land of giant sterile avenues, giant sterile Panera Breads, and also this year's annual Soccer Convention, hosted by the NSCAA.  As they say, I'm here on business.

Anyways, I just spotted these sweet shoes on the exhibit floor. Check it out:

Munich Gresca 604 $118

They're actually super high-end indoor soccer shoes, or "futsal" shoes for those of us in the know, but I think they would look great as a casual shoe as well.

Happy Friday,

P.S. Go Niners, go Ravens.

UNIONMADE

So my buddy introduced me to this site UNIONMADE, and I must say they have quite a selection of awesome clothing, most of which is on sale. Definitely take a look around.

I found this shirt that I really like, but I can't tell if I'd actually wear it. Its right on that edge for me personally.

PORTUGUESE FLANNEL SHIRT IN RED AND BLUE $114 (Down from $190)

Its a little intense to wear alone, so maybe I'd try it out with a V-neck sweater first, like when a gopher pokes his head out of the ground to make sure the coast is clear.

I also found these socks that I really like.

NEW FAIRISLE WASHED WOOL SOCK IN NAVY $42

Really cool, but at $42 dollars, I'm not super interested. Maybe I'll get these instead.

Snow Crystal Crew in Navy $22

Happy Wednesday,
