Paul Smith Hiking Boot
I’ve noticed a big trend in boots lately but Paul Smith knows how to do it right. The boot pictured above feature a more hiking style, crafted out of leather and metal lace up eyelets for contrast. The price isn’t friendly but i’m sure other more affordable companies will get right on it.
Buy here for $616

Converse by Jonh Varvatos “Jack Purcell”
I’ve had a bad experience with Converse by John Varvatos in the past but I decided to give it another go. The Jack Purcell Varvatos editions are made out of natural canvas that is later garment dyed to mimic a worn in vintage look.



My only complain is that the rubber on the heel came off but not a big deal. Overall I’m satisfied with the quality and look. Notice the low profile sole, that’s a big deal for me.
Purchase here.

shotguneddie WANTS - NonBlack Friday Edition 
Simon Carter WT 1700 Watch - $250
Who needs Rolex when Simon Carter is making watches that look this great. Yeah you can blow $2,000 on a hand crafted watch but this WT 1700 will only set you back $250 and it looks just like a hand crafted one.
Pria Wool Scarf - $96
Every guy should have at least 1 scarf in the closet as a just in case moment. The mustard color is great for Fall/Holiday but the soft wool is what makes this scarf tempting to purchase, made in Italy.
Filson Eyeglass Case - $75
Filson makes great bags and from the looks of it the greatness has spread in other areas. I don’t wear prescription glasses but I do wear sunglasses.
Skull Bea Man Wallet - $313
With a market for hand crafted made in USA wallets Makr and Billykirk have been gaining huge exposure in the “blogosphere”. This Skull Bea wallet isn’t made in USA but shares the same hand crafted passion other brands have.

Our Legacy Washed Brogue
I don’t understand the difference between brogue and wing tips shoes, they essentially look the same. I’ve been hesitant to post either but I finally found some that I like. Our Legacy released these washed down Brogue available via Shop.Fever.Se
I honestly don’t mind the heal and leather sole. Perfect to wear with cuffed raw denim.
Purchased here.

Stanley Lunch Box Cooler Set
If I was in the market for a lunch box/cooler it would be this Stanley. Great size, color and price. Unfortunately I never pack a lunch due to my lack of cooking skills but I did I would purchase this. Buy here for $75.
This is in my Christmas list, a little early?

La Roux- “I’m Not Your Toy”

Not typically the music I post on here but La Roux is growing on me. I don’t know if it’s the 8-bit sounding synth or that Jimmy Neutron hair style, ha.

“Rules for My Unborn Son” by Walker Lamond
I got to admit, it was a bit awkward buying this book due to the title. It’s easily assumed I don’t have a kid by buying this book but I couldn’t resist.
Walker Lamond gives great advice not only for my “unborn son” but for myself. The book is hard cover (excellent) comes with a note section and filled with quotes from people like Benjamin Franklin.




Highly Recommended
Book can be purchase here but try and support your local book store instead.

shotguneddie WANTS | Tres Bien Shop Edition
I have a tendency to visit a lot of online boutiques so I figured I’d show some love to Tres Bien Shop. Not only do they have the best online product offering the new pop up shop is beautifully designed and decorated.
Products shown: Pendleton hat, Moscot x Common Project shades, vintage Red Wings and Mismo tote bag (view my personal review here).
All product available to purchase here.

Lyle & Scott Fair Isle Crewneck Jumper
If your looking for the perfect Winter/Holiday season this Lyle & Scott crew neck won’t disappoint. Lately I’ve been seeing a ton of jacquard sweater knit patterns but in my opinion Lyle & Scott do it right. I do agree with Selectism and would prefer the sweater without the chest “eagle” embroidery.
