Life looks better trough Polarized lenses! I got these new Oakley Polarized Frogskins a couple weeks ago and I’ve been wearing them ever since. Everything seems crispy and clear in these shades, its like I am watching life in HD. I was driving trough heavy rain a days ago and everything was foggy and the rain was making it hard to see, I put on the frames and everything became super clear, it was pretty awesome!
Thanks Oakley for the love.

About Oakley Polarized
“If you think all polarized lenses are alike, it’s time you opened your eyes to the truth. Oakley produces the best polarized lenses on earth. Ordinary polarized lenses distort your view of the world. They corrupt your vision and don’t block nearly as much glare as they should. Explore seven Oakley exclusive technologies that put our polarized lenses at the top of the game.”
“Let’s be clear, Oakley’s High Definition Optics® (HDO)® makes distortion disappear. No more seeing things here that really aren’t there and vice versa. With HDO, you’ll find rocks, flagsticks, and steps where they are supposed to be. Not only does HDO meet the American National Standards Institute clarity testing requirements, it exceeds them.”
Life is kind of funny and weird all at the same time. Today I was leaving church and I decided to stop by a local cafe to get some food and I bumped into a friend who was sitting down having coffee with a gentleman. This gentleman happened to be from the New York and he was in town for the weekend. The funny part about all of this, is that this gentleman has been wanting to connect with me but just never knew when or how. I just happened to walk into this cafe and voila the connection was made. This gentleman turned out to be an executive at Timberland and he was discussion things with an influential peer of mine. We all had some great conversations about community. family, blogging, marketing and products. Life is funny that way!
Before he left he gave me a small package that contained two items. 1. An Abington Horween leather notebook and and a Swiss + Tech Abington utility accessory.
This little thing is incredible! It is called a Micro Tech 6-in-1
Abington x Swiss + Tech Collaboration
1. Precision Pliers
2. Wire cutter
3. Wire Stripper
4. Sheet Shear
5. #2 Flat Scewdriver
6 #2 Phillips Screwdriver

I think TOD’s is the only high-end luxury brand to get it right with the IPAD case. This is my personal opinion obviously, instead of a slide is actually opens up and you get to keep your sexy Ipad case. Don’t get me wrong it is super expensive but if you can afford go right ahead.
Genuine alligator $4,900
Buff colored calfskin is priced at $495.”

Timex will be releasing their Originals Vintage collection in the fall inspired by actual TIMEX watches from their archives. The first image above is the 1940′s watch in olive green.
This style is called the National and will be sold for about $60 which is very affordable for such a dope watch. The ballistic nylon band is such a great alternative to leather or metal.
I know you are guys are going to love this all black joint.
I have a lot more styles to show you guys! Stay tuned for more items coming soon.
The homie Jesse from WeSC tweeted about this collaboration this week and we finally get to see pictures!

These will be dropping shortly, stay tuned!

*Rucksack
Rucksack (also known as the Ranger Pack for the South Vietnamese Rangers who used it) was a canvas, external-framed pack produced in the United States for use by the armed forces of the Republic of Vietnam throughout the 1960s and early ’70s. The pack saw use with ARVN forces, and became desirable amongst US troops in the early years of the Vietnam War, before the US military fielded similar items in the form of the Tropical Rucksack and Lightweight Rucksack, which were both influenced by the ARVN design.
* Filson
Born in 1850, C. C. Filson inherited his father’s pioneer spirit and love of the outdoors. After homesteading in Nebraska and roaming the country as a railroad conductor, he moved to the small city of Seattle, Washington in the 1890′s.
Filson’s timing couldn’t have been better. By 1897, the Great Klondike Gold Rush was on, and thousands of fortune hunters were stampeding into Seattle, headed north. Armed with a strong work ethic, a reputation for honesty, and several years’ experience operating a small loggers’ outfitting store, C. C. Filson was ready to stake his claim to fame.
“TO OUR CUSTOMERS: if a man is going North, he should come to us for his outfit, because we have obtained our ideas of what is best to wear in that country from the experience of the man from the North — not merely one — but hundreds of them. Our materials are the very best obtainable, for we know that the best is none too good and that quality is of vital importance. YOU CAN DEPEND ABSOLUTELY UPON OUR GOODS BOTH AS TO MATERIAL AND WORKMANSHIP.”
I don’t have the bright watch I got the right watch…
The price of this watch is so crazy that I debated with myself for 20 minutes about which section I should post it in. I think it belongs in my Coolhunts section but I will leave it in Accessories section because I know some of my readers can afford this bad boy.
Here you have the limited edition Hermes Carre H Watch valued at 15K. Only 173 pieces will be released! This watch is extremely sexy and sophisticated that’s why I love it. I am pretty sure that Hermes can come up with a more affordable version of this watch to make it more accessible but maybe they did not want to. This watch was designed by French architect and designer Marc Berthier, the new Carre H watch is an avant-garde addition to Hermes’ watch collection.
“Inside, the watch houses the Swiss automatic Sowind/Girard-Perregaux caliber GP3200 movement with a power reserve of 44 hours.
The case, in titanium, measures 36.5mm x 36.5mm. The crystal is an AR-coated sapphire (as is the display back) and it is water resistant to 30 meters.”

When I was in NYC I stopped by the G-Shock Showroom and they gave me the new G-SHOCK GA-100 Watch. The watch has a great design and subtle details that make it dope. I love the fact that it is a analog and digital wrist watch. The GA 100 watch is part of the new Casio line up and is available in different colours.
Please share your thoughts? Do you prefer the classic G-Shock? or are you ready to move into new styles and design?
