    Trip to Denver and Boulder in August 2014

    You'll be fine staying in downtown Denver. The Hotel Monaco is great and the restaurant — Panzano's — is also excellent.

    Is this a nice leather jacket for a guy in his 20's?

    Is the 20 year old guy a blind disco-dancing hit man? Then yes.

    New Glaser Designs Briefcase

    As much as I'd like to take credit, it was all Myron's idea. I told him that I wanted something that would age into a nice patina and he did the rest. He immediately said that chestnut was the way to go as it would patina the best, then came up with the idea for the natural interior, hand...

    New Glaser Designs Briefcase

    They machine stitch it. I think that they use so many stitches in the bag that hand-stitching would be cost-prohibitive. It's definitely a hand-crafted piece though. I got to spend some time watching them build the bags while out in San Francisco. All the coloring and graining is done by...

    New Glaser Designs Briefcase

    Since I had a little trouble finding images of the new Glaser Designs briefcase style (called the "headhunter"), I thought I'd post a few images of the briefcase I just received. I must have spent hours looking at every available briefcase style out there before deciding on Glaser Designs...

    Tips on Spotting Fake Rolexes

    Not necessarily true. Although I recently traded-in one watch that lost a small amount of value (~5%) over the last ten years, I have another that's nearly doubled what I paid for it. It depends completely on the brand, model, and the current trends.

    Is the Loro Piana Storm System really that effective?

    I've got the Piana Rossignol team jacket with the storm system and it's great. I've worn it in very cold, windy, snow conditions with no problems. I probably would choose a Mountain Hardware or HH shell for really rugged conditions, but the storm system definitely keeps out the elements.

    Like Saddleback, but made in the USA (and pricier)

    Wow - I didn't even notice that at first. You're right - that's one loooow stitch count.

    Like Saddleback, but made in the USA (and pricier)

    I do, but I frequently flip the strap so that the smoother side is against my jacket if I'm not wearing some kind of outerwear. It still takes some of the load off and doesn't bunch up the fabric.

    Like Saddleback, but made in the USA (and pricier)

    In my all-consuming quest for a new briefcase, I stared by looking at Saddleback. A great product — I loved the look, but I preferred a bag made in the USA. I recently stumbled cross ColsenKeane, a maker of bags here in the US that is about the closest I've found to Saddleback. It looks...
