EAST MEETS WEST

THE BDAY BOUNTY ALSO INCLUDED SOME SQUEAKY CLEAN ADDITIONS: COTTON WAFFLE WASH CLOTHS FROM MAKIE (MY FAVORITE JAPANESE CLOTHING SHOP IN SOHO, THAT FOR SOME REASON DOES NOT DO MENSWEAR-UGH) AND SEA SALT SOAP, PERFECT FOR THE OUTDOOR SHOWER AT WM BROWN FARM.

TENDER TALLOW

MY GOOD FRIEND WILLIAM AT TENDER CO. HAS JUST LAUNCHED A NEW SITE CALLED TRESTLE SHOP SELLING HIS WARES, INCLUDING THIS MUTTON TALLOW BOOT GREASE THAT IS JUST WHAT THE COUNTRY DOC HAS ORDERED FOR YOUR TIRED LEATHER BOOTS AND SUCH.

BIRTHDAY'S BOUNTY

THANKS GIRLS.

SCOUT MUGS

MY FRIENDS AT CAMP WANDAWEGA WERE THE FIRST TO PUT THESE SCOUT MUGS ON MY RADAR. THEY HAVE AN AMAZING COLLECTION THAT THEY SERVED THEIR MORNING COFFEE IN. EVER SINCE THAT VISIT I KEEP MY EYE OUT FOR THEM.

COLONEL E.H. TAYLOR

THIS LATEST RYE HEAVY BOURBON TO COME OUT OF THE BUFFALO TRACE DISTILLERY IS VERY SPECIAL INDEED. COLONEL TAYLOR IS A DELICIOUS BARREL PROOF WHISKEY THAT PACKS A PUNCH AT 134.5 PROOF. THAT BEING SAID IT BEGS FOR A BIG CHUNK OF ICE AND SOME SLOW FRONT PORCH SIPPING. AVAILABLE IN VERY SMALL QUANTITIES, IT IS MOST DESERVING OF ITS $70.00 PRICE TAG.
WE ONLY LIVE ONCE.
