L.L.Bean Signature

The wait is over for L.L.Bean’s Signature Collection. The complete collection is filled with American wardrobe staples polished in a modern fit. My personal Signature lookbook would consist of a Foggy Blue Hunter’s Plaid Shirt ($69), a Marine Supply Sweater ($99), some Currant Canvas Cloth Pants ($59), and of course the classic Buck Chukka ($115). A promising heritage line with great prices tells me L.L.Bean Signature will hopefully be around for awhile.

MSI joins the netbook grind with their MSI U160 ($379). The sleek brown 10-inch uber thin netbook runs a 1.66GHz Intel Atom processor. The U160 also comes with a 250GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM and a claimed 13-hour battery life. Compact, fast and great looks; everything you’d want out of a netbook!

The desert boot trend doesn’t look like its going anywhere. The original Clarks Teak Desert Boot ($105) is the way to go. Inspired by the Eighth British Army and more importantly looking great with a pair of khakis, the Clarks Teak Desert Boot is a perfect spring fixture.

FLOR Carpet Tiles

A long time ago I posted a Putt Up Or Shut Up Rug Kit by a company called FLOR (roughly$8-$16, tile). However, I never took the time to really talk about what the company specializes in; affordable, sustainable, modern carpet tiles that are made in the U.S.A. Thanks to a recent posting and well executed example by my favorite home hackers, Apartment Therapy, I was reminded of how bachelor pad friendly these things really are. You can make a rug or landing or do wall-to-wall designs. The company (as well as Apartment Therapy) gives you great instructions on ideas and even offers a $6 sample pack which includes 3 large samples of your choice.

Light My Fire – FireSteel

Next time you head for the woods or a camping retreat, tuck a Light My Fire Firesteel ($9.50-$20) in your pocket and amaze your crew (and yourself) at your ability to start a campfire. Developed for the Swedish Department of Defense and adopted by several military groups, the Firesteel comes with a metal striker used to strike the Firesteel. The result is a 3000°C spark capable of lighting stoves or piles of tinder. Good for 3000 strikes and even works in wet conditions, the Firesteel needs to be atop your camping list.
