Dita keeps it coming with solid new styles, this time with a new optical style and another must-have aviator. The Landmark aviator is a titanium-framed style with Acetate temple details while the other new release comes via their optical department in the shape of The Prestige ($375), a bold acetate frame with custom hex rivet accents.
If your alcoholic escapades often take you beyond the land of seedy bars and into black tie dinners with the rich and obviously miserable, be sure to grab a pair of Bottle Opener Cufflinks ($50). Made from polished stainless steel, these interesting accessories are subtle enough to blend in with an upscale crowd — although you’re probably not being as sneaky as you think if you’re drinking Bud Ice straight from the bottle. Use a glass, savage.
Oliver Peoples sure has nice wares, but so does Dita Senator’s Clubmaster. The frame is more modern yet still classic. The entirety of the frame is built from lightweight titanium even down to the nosepads and as with all Dita frames come in a well chosen selection of colors.
This is a funny…
And the saga continues…With products like Baconnaise, Bacon Floss, and even Bacon Lip Balm, we have to ask: Why didn’t someone think of this before? Who’s Your Daddy Bacon Potato Chips ($5) are exactly what you’d expect — a delicious combination of potato and bacon. Handmade from high-quality potatoes and cooked with a proprietary blend of “bacony goodness,” only those with the strongest of wills are able to keep from eating the whole bag.
Shot in deserted Faxe Kalkbrud, Denmark, and directed by Jens Raunkjær Christensen and Jonas Drotner Mouritsen, Connected is a unique short film, a sci-fi western with a tiny budget, but huge ambitions. A relatively small, but very enthusiastic and talented crew helped bring this bleak vision of the future to the screen. The film is produced with support from The Film Workshop / The Danish Film Institute.
Okay, so you might be thinking that beer and caramel go together about as well as beer and ice cream — PBR float, anyone? — but these Beer & Pretzel Caramels ($12/dozen) are a happy exception. Made by Liddabit Sweets in Brooklyn, these tiny treats are made by reducing and mixing Brooklyn Brewery’s Brown Ale and East India Pale Ale into caramel, accompanied by chunks of salty Martin’s pretzels for added crunch and texture.
Denim is in, and so is this jacket.
