I realise it’s all very Urban Outfitter-y and that these packs would not look out of place in, say, Williamsburg or Shoreditch (cf. LATFH), but I do actually like the look of these CS Bell x Tenue de Nîmes packs. As for them being hand-riveted and sitched from special canvas and 4mm-thick leather and whatnot—I don’t really give a rat’s ass about things like these; I just want them to last. But if they’re going to be priced at €300, designer Paolo Bellini’s “extensive knowledge of army and outdoor clothing” had better be good, because actual army shit is way cheaper than this.
P.S.: The town of Nîmes, by the way, is where denim gets its name from. The more you know.
James Perse is probably one of my most favourite brands to follow. Now they’ve got this ping-pong table made from solid teak with a leather-bound net, complete with dining table conversion if you’re short on space (although if you have enough money to buy this, you’ll probably have enough space in your mansion for a separate dining table). Looks like another one for the lad pad.
Written by Esquire’s food editor, Ryan D’Agostino, this might be a vegan’s worst nightmare. Makes me want to grab some surf and turf sharpish.
Things for the lad pad: A giant fan. $7,800 from Etsy.
I remember how we had a shitty ping pong table in the army—the net would never sit still, and the surface was ridiculously uneven. We still played on it, but I’m betting these Henge tables would have been way more awesome. They’re made of stone, just like how our old playgrounds used to be.
