For those that know me, fishing is one of my favorite past times. Growing up in Ohio and Florida I learned a little about lake and river fishing in Ohio and coastal and deep-sea in Florida. Looking back I wish I still had some of the tackle I once had as a kid as it would display great either on my fishing hat or somewhere in my office. But I guess that goes for almost everything that was cool that I had as a kid. This survival kit is a great addition to your fishing man cave. Not only is it a great display and conversational piece but the survival fishing kit is fully functional. So if the apocalypse is right around the corner your beautiful display is ready for use. Below is the  details of the item. Click here or the image above to place your bid.

I love me some Ebbets Field Flannel hats. In today’s market it just seems like everyone is making hats that just don’t hit the mark for the prices they are charging. Lets be honest a Supreme 5 panel production cost is not $25 and definitely does not justify $50+ for the retail price.  With fatuous mark ups and low quality hats I feel like I’m being cheated and need to take my business elsewhere. Ebbets Field hats hit that mark. You can tell when you get one of these that the hat actually may be worth something as soon as you pick it up. Commendable thick wool, urbane lines, satin underbill and stitch satin lining, these are the types of characteristics that when you put a hat on you are content that you paid $50+ for the hat. The Decades did a colabo with Ebbets field and look what they came up with. A XX blue wool gem! $80 or Make an Offer may be  a little to rich for your blood but this hat is a straight banger.

Many that know me always ask me why I don’t drink coffee. Don’t get me wrong there are some great coffee spots in San Francisco. Always a new spot popping up where coffee drinkers flock like whiskey connoisseurs to try the next late-n-great cup of joy. That scene may be a little too coffee for me. Or should I just say not my cup of tea. Also growing up in Florida I think has a lot to do with it. Being 100 degrees every day and gravitating to hot cup of coffee just doesn’t seem appetizing? I like to take the cold drink route. My tap water  has to have a couple of ice cubes added. Recently my wife said that I should try Cold Brew Coffee.  At first I thought why pick up another bad habit, but I must say after trying a nice bottle of cold brew I’m hooked. My wife  gave me the most smug look I have ever seen which basically said “I told you coffee tastes good.” Coffee is still not my thing but I’m thinking about doing some cold brew at home. This Iced Coffee maker is a perfect start. Click the image above or here to place your bid.

Description
Coffee Ice Dripper.

• Serve Sizes: 5 – 8 people
• Max 600 ml Ice Coffee
• Sleek Design with Stainless Steel stand and opening
• Heat Resistant Glasses

Steps:
1. Water into the top of the pill bottle (crushed ice or cold water will have better result)
2. Valve under the pot controls the speed of dripping to achieve your best taste
3. Add coffee power to the middle part and start dropping water from top to penetrate
4. After long low temperature extraction, a smooth coffee with no sour will be ready.
Because of the cold water dripping, that has also lowered the level of caffeine

Vintage MontBlanc Pencils are not sought out as much as the pen. Good thing because the quality is the same just in this day in age no one uses pencils anymore unless you are an artist or a carpenter. I personally like writing with pencils. I’m no perfectionist and if you are not typing on some gadget a pencil is a nice addition to carry with you. This MontBlanc Pix No. 36 pencil would be a good starter.

Up for auction is a brand new pair of Steven Alan Holden Collegiate Suede Blucher Rust Suede Red Brick Sole Men 8.5 or 9 NWT in beautiful Rust/Ginger suede with red brick Vibram sole handmade in Pennsylvania, full leather lining and waxed laces with a goodyear welted sole. I just received these in the mail and tried them on, but they are too big for me. I wish I could keep these, but sadly, I’ve decided to let them go. These shoes retail for $250, sold out everywhere, and the red brick sole version is super hard-to-find!

Chef Knife

Up for bid is a genuine Bob Kramer 8″ chefs knife. I won’t bother explaining the significance of a Bob Kramer knife because if you don’t already know who he is, then chances are you won’t appreciate the knife. This knife was recently purchased from the estate of a wealthy Seattle resident. I believe it was made in Bob’s Pike Place Seattle knife shop before he moved his operation to Olympia. This knife is not a Damascus bladed piece of artwork to hang on the wall. It is a carbon steel bladed piece of artwork that has been lovingly used and cared for. The entire knife is in wonderful condition with the blade having a few very light stains. The blade actually has less staining and patina than you would expect to see on a carbon steel blade which shows the level of care and pride of ownership that the previous owner had for this knife. You will likely not find a GENUINE Kramer knife for sale on the open market any time soon. Purchase this knife and you can skip the waiting list, the lottery pick and the multiple thousands of dollars required to buy a Kramer knife.

Ok I confess, guilty as charged. I was one of the many that jumped on the recent Pendleton native print blanket wagon. I even posted some native print pillows on my site that I thought would be great on your grey sleek sectional. FAIL… I’m not sure if living in the northwest has enhanced the Pendleton epidemic but I can’t stand it any longer. How many people’s houses can I visit and  see the same throw native blanket. It is kind of like the hook in Tupac’s  All About You song. Anyways I’m on to the next, as you should. Sell those blankets now like Apple stocks and invest in U.S. Navy Wool Blankets

Under the radar for years people have been buying U.S. military blankets. These furtive people remain in silence as they do not want to draw attention to the fact they have been buying the highest quality products at dirt cheap prices. While we buy our Pendleton overpriced pieces they are cleaning house with the real diamonds in the rough.  I wanted to post a great example of just that.

This style Vintage U.S. Navy wool blanket is what I now have on my bed. I sold my Pendleton blanket for $200 and got a vintage Navy blanket for $75. Brought it to the dry cleaners and had them clean any suspicious spots. Another $20 spent. Took the additional $105 and  invested in a nice bottle of bourbon and saved the rest for the next thing that catches my eye. These  U.S. Naval blankets are top-notch quality. Why? Because these are for actual soldiers and may be needed for survival. Bottom line,  these blankets are 50+ years old and still in high circulation kind of lets you know that they are skillfully made. So why don’t you click on the image above or here to make a purchase on an item that will never go out of style and last a lifetime.
